I’m worried about losing my Animal Well save data. If I started playing it while it was available on PlayStation Plus and then decide to purchase the game after it leaves the service, will my save data still be there? How does saved data work when switching from PS Plus access to full game ownership?

Yes, you definitely keep your save data separately from the game installation. Even if you delete the game, the saves stick around, so picking up where you left off after buying it is no problem.
Save files usually stay safe unless you delete them yourself. Some folks wonder why not just purchase the game once it leaves PS Plus, but I get that it’s a money matter for many.
FYI, you can keep the same saves whether you had the digital version from PS Plus or even a physical copy. I had Dragon Age: Inquisition on physical, then got it digitally from PS Plus, and kept playing from the same save without issues.
Just make sure you buy the game from the same region account where you had PS Plus access. Save data is tied to your profile and region, so that’s important to keep your progress intact.
Oh cool, that’s good to hear! Thanks for the tip!
