Having to unlock everything again on PS5?

[Ganacampo]

Hi,

I have managed to transfer my saves from PS4 to PS5, but I see that i.e. all maps in sandbox mode are locked, although they were unlocked on PS4.
I don't want to unlock everything again, what's the point in transfering save games if you have to unlock everything again?

Is this normal or a known bug or something?

Else I will just have to continue with the PS4 version on PS5, I don't wanna lose it all.
Although I would love to mix the building styles which is PS5 version exclusive...

Hey Ganacampo!

My understanding is that the save transfer will transfer over saved park progress, but not overall game progress. What that means is that you can load a save you've transferred and can continue playing like normal. However it won't transfer your unlocks.

If you manage to trigger the end of level screen for a Campaign, Challenge Mode, or Chaos Theory level you've loaded up, the level will be complete and you'll get the unlocks.

Thanks for this advice, this at least saves me some hours of replaying.
