Kojima Productions has released the Death Stranding update 1.13 September 8 patch, and this adds save data transfer from the PS4 version to the PS5, which will get the Death Stranding Director’s Cut version later this month.

Death Stranding Update 1.13 Patch Notes:

Version 1.13

Addition of save data conversion system.

Save data from the version for PlayStation 4 of Death Stranding can be exported for use in the version for PlayStation 5.
