Conflicting Info / Can I Transfer PS4 Save to PS5?

Hi EA Team and Community,

There is conflicting information abound on what I consider to be a very important topic: is it possible to start playing Mass Effect Legendary Edition on PS4 and then continue with the same save on a PS5, allowing continued progress without starting over?


See this May 13th GameSpot article: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/mass-effect-legendary-edition-cross-saves-will-transfer-on-xbox-not-playstation/1100-6491400/

The article states:

 

"Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is playable on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, but only one platform will let you transfer saves if you started playing Legendary Edition on the last generation. According to notes provided by EA, Xbox consoles will support cross-save transfers, but PlayStation will not."

 


 

However, this question was asked in May on this very topic here on this very community and answered differently: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Mass-Effect-Legendary-Edition/Mass-effect-legendary-edition-ps4-save-to-ps5/td-p/10336997

 

According to @EA_Atic:

 

"...saves are cross gen for PS4 - to PS5 that will work."

 


 

A quick Google and Reddit search will yield more conflicting results - gamers who claim to have tried this and it didn't work and gamers who claim to have tried this and it did work.

 


 

How can we get a definitive answer to this question?  Can someone at EA confirm whether or not PS4 ME:LE saves can be moved to PS5, allowing gamers to pick up on the PS5 where they leave off on PS4?

 

Thanks!!
