The PlayStation 5 allows you to back up your saved data to the cloud if you have a PlayStation plus subscription. This is important so that you may not lose your game data in case you encounter any issues with your console.
Any uploaded saved data will be stored in the PlayStation Plus cloud, and you can retrieve the data at anytime you wish. You can even reset your console then download your game save data from the cloud storage.
Firstly, you’re required to have a PlayStation Plus subscription to back up your data. With the PlayStation Plus, you get up to 100GB worth of cloud storage.
