I used to play Bloodborne using PS Plus but now my subscription is up. If I buy the physical version of the game, can I continue from where I left off with my old save data? Do I need to consider anything specific to ensure my progress isn’t lost?

When I swapped from PS Plus to a physical copy for my son’s Hot Wheels game, it allowed us to pick up right where we left off. Just double-check the region stuff, as that can throw a wrench in your plans due to how it affects compatibility.
I’ve done this myself with RDR2! Just pop the disc in, and your save data should all be there, as long as it’s the same region. It’s pretty seamless if all the versions line up.
Generally, if it’s the same game—no matter how you access it originally—your save data should remain accessible. Just make sure the game ID’s the same, and if you have cloud saves, that could help provide a backup.
Yes, you can keep using your old save data as long as the region of your new disc matches your PSN account. If the regions don’t match, you may run into issues where the save data is incompatible, which can be really annoying considering they don’t always make the region info obvious on the packaging.
I have a similar story with playing Witcher by switching from the disc to PS Plus version without any problems. The key is ensuring it’s the same region or else you might face some frustrating save issues.
