Replace BF1 disk install with digital download

Hey @NLBartmaN,

As far as I'm concerned, you can get the Revolution Edition, and remove the original copy of Battlefield 1 that you have installed.

You will not lose any progress if you uninstall the original copy you have, considering everything is saved in the Cloud/Servers for Battlefield 1.

That's up to you if you'd like to have both versions installed, or just the Revolution Edition.

Hope this helps.

Thanks 🙂 

So uninstall my current BF1 and then buy and install the Battlefield Anniversary Bundle?

And then when I start the new game it will bring back my progress by checking/synchronizing with my PS4 account?

I read somewhere that only the online/multiplayer progress is saved on the servers.

Things like completed singleplayer campaign not.

Do you know more about this?

And BF1 Revolution is nothing more then the normal BF1 with extra Heroes bundle and Premium Pass code?

The BF1 gamefiles are exactly the same as the BF1 on the disk?

What would happen if I don't remove the old BF1 and just buy the Battlefield Anniversary Bundle and try hitting install?

Will it even start to install or will it say: BF! is already installed?

I just want to be sure I don't lose any progress

@NLBartmaN

just erase your game data (the ~70-100 GB file), keep your local campaign savegame, that´s in another folder and only some MB.

Yes, your multiplayer progress will still be there if you´re using the same account.

Maybe you can use your "old" game file, but you´ll have to install the extra content files then.

If it doesn´t work, just install the whole package.

The most important thing: 

Multiplayer progress is stored on EA´s servers.

Singleplayer progress won´t be lost if you don´t erase the Application Saved Data 🙂

Thanks for the reply.

I am on PS4 .. your solution sounds like one that can be done on a PC ?

Great, thank you!

I will give this a try after I make a backup online or on a usb drive of everything just to be sure 😉
