Is it possible to transfer ps4 persona 5 save file to PC?

[DarkNez]

I had it on ps4 but I havnt finished the game., so I wanna play it on PC with dlc stuff

[Lucky]

I am 99% sure that there isn't a way. Sony is VERY strict with cross-anything with PC players. They are getting more lenient lately (i.e. PSO2 New Genesis) but they are only dipping their toes in the water for now.

No, it isn't the other way around with Steam versions.
Sony is the one usually blocking.

i can skip their block in less that 5 minutes is the ones on gamepass that im unable to, pls can you check your save? the files are called data.dat and system.dat?

You can't, unless someone figured it out. This re-release and the PS4 version are different since they changed some code.
You can transfer save across PS5, Xbox, PC and Switch versions though, I tested on Switch and PC and it succeeded.

I copied save files from Switch to Steam and it worked. So I guess the re-release version saves are compatible for those consoles.

so steam version isnt encrypted then i think theres a little hope then would you mind send your save? i just wanna do more test to see if im able to transfer my ps4 save or even better if you want i can send you my save to see if its working

From this discussion, if you are able to obtain the decrypted ps4 save data (hen or save wizard), you can use this tool[github.com] to convert them for pc.

Hey All!
Dropping this info in all of the relevant subs this weekend! u/Deadex64 created this method of converting PS4 saves to Steam PC saves.
So there’s been a lot of confusion surrounding the possibility of save transfers for Persona 5 Royal (P5R), especially upon its grand release across multiple platforms. Just wanted to clear some things up, and also give you a quick rundown on how you can convert your save from PS4 to PC.
First off, it seems as though people are having no problem swapping between Xbox and PC Gamepass! Still no word, however, on the possibility of transferring those saves from PC Gamepass to Steam.
For PS4 users looking to convert their saves to PC, you will either need a hacked PS4 or a tool called Save Wizard MAX, which runs for about $60 USD. Make sure it's the MAX version you are purchasing as the $50 version does not allow us to decrypt the saves.
With a hacked PS4, you can use the tool to decrypt your PS4 saves which will allow us to start the conversion process.

GETTING THE SAVE FROM PS4/PS5:
1. Navigate to your system settings and look for Save Data
2. Click on Console Storage
a. On PS5, head to Save Data (PS4)
3. Once there, tab over to transfer save
4. Check P5R and copy to USB

DECRYPT:
(I’m not on possession of a hacked PS4, but I do have Save Wizard, so I’ll try to walk through the process for that)
1. Plug your USB into your computer and open up Save Wizard
2. On Persona 5 Royal, open the drop down and it should show a DATA and SYSTEM file. Right click DATA and open it in ADVANCED MODE
a. You’ll do the same thing for SYSTEM afterwards
4. On the top right corner, hit “Export to File” and save it to a folder on your desktop.
a. The name of the folder doesn’t matter, but let’s call it “Saves Folder”
5. Repeat for SYSTEM
6. Once done, go to the folder you’ve extracted the files to and put the DATA.DAT and SYSTEM.DAT files in two separate folders within the folder.
a. Again, the folder names do not matter
b. It’s important that they are not left in the same folder
c. The file path should look like this for each: Desktop/Saves Folder/[new folder 1]/ DATA.DAT

CONVERTING:
1. Go to the Microsoft store and download Python 3.10. This is a necessary step.
2. Head over to this link: https://github.com/zarroboogs/fiber-saveutil
3. Go to the green “Code” button, click it, and download zip
4. Extract the contents to a folder on your Desktop
a. The name of the folder also doesn’t matter but for the sake of this tutorial, call it “Fiber”
5. Open the folder and you should see all of the content from within the zip file.
6. In the file pathway, on the top of the file explorer, type in cmd
a. This should open up a command prompt window
7. Type this prompt and hit enter: python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
8. Then copy this prompt: python fiber-saveutil.py convert
9. Paste it into the command prompt, but before running it, copy the folder that holds both your DATA and SYSTEM files and paste it into the folder which is holding your fiber-save.
10. Paste the file path of the saves folder right after the convert prompt.
a. It should look something like this python fiber-saveutil.py convert Desktop/Fiber/Saves Folder
11. Hit enter
12. Once done, you should see a new folder in Fiber called “Saves Folder -- out”
13. You should see your DATA.DAT and SYSTEM.DAT files here

COPY THEM TO STEAM:
1. Download P5R on Steam
2. Go to your save folder for P5R
3. Should be something like: C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\SEGA\P5R\Steam\[Steam ID]\savedata
4. Create a folder called “DATA01”
5. Drop the DATA.DAT file in this new folder
6. There should a SYSTEM folder already. Drop the SYSTEM.DAT file in there.
7. Run the game and try it out!
Some things to keep in mind, when you open the game, you may find you’re your level is set to 1, but don’t worry. Once you save on PC, it’ll fix itself.
Steam Deck users should be able to follow these steps as well but would be easier to do it on a PC and then download the cloud saves afterwards.

Thanks for the very useful information,
But i faced a problem
Is save data only compatible with US/EU?
Is it possible to convert Japanese save data?

Have you put " " around your location? It's a syntax thing that's fairly easy to miss

[Demi Dratori]

As someone who had a friend whose done this: no. There *is* a way to do this, however, there have been multiple accounts of the save data getting locked in an endless loading screen for some people. Basically, its not worth it. It's best just to start over or use a save file from Gane Banana if you don't want to start over.
