Hi, another question for you. I installed the free PS5 upgrade (awesome). I went back to my Xbox One running 1.61 and allowed cross platform saves. I can see the save on my PS5, running 2.31, but the cloud icon is not checked and when trying to load the file I get a frozen load screen. Iām guessing the issue is different versions, but saw online people are able to load older versions on their PS5.
Am I missing something or am I out of luck? Thanks again
Hi, nice

Yes, in theory, it should work. You should be able to load older saves no matter the platform (it will simply reset your attributes and perk points because they made a lot of changes since). The other around won't work (older game versions won't let you load saves created on newer game version).
So what I would do :
On your Xbox One
- Be sure the game is up to date (it's been a while, so not sure if the last version is 1.61 or 1.63, the one just before the "big" 2.0 update)
- Clear your cache >
Clear cache on Xbox
- Launch the game
- Load the save you want to transfert and once in-game, create a brand new save (do not overwrite an old one).
- Then wait a bit until the save is uploaded on CDPR servers
Then on your PS5 :
- Also clean the cache, just to be sure >
Clear cache on PlayStation
- Launch the game, check if you see the save and try to load it.
If it doesn't work, maybe you can try to install the PS4 version on your PS5, then try to load the same save on this version, create a new one again and check if you're able load it. But it would be a bit annoying
And if really nothing works, you can directly contact the support for help, because there is not much more you can do on console ("contact us" button).
