Just a heads up, you will need to uninstall the digital version to play with the disc, and remember to keep that disc handy since you’ll need it every time you want to play!

You might wonder why switch to disc after going digital. In my case, a friend gifted me a short-term PS Plus code and I played Bloodborne but won’t have access to it afterward, so the disc is a safe bet to keep gaming.

Exactly! I want to make sure I can keep playing, even if my subscription runs out.

Yes! Your save data is linked to your PlayStation account, so it doesn’t matter if you’re playing the game digitally or via disc. You’ll pick up right where you left off without needing to start over.

It’s worth noting that whether your saves transfer can depend on the region of the disc you buy. Make sure the disc’s country code matches your account; otherwise, you might run into incompatibility issues with save data or DLCs.
