    Will redownloading far cry 5 after re-initializing the PS4 still have my save game?

    I am having troubles with my PS4 and I think re-initializing it may be the only way to fix it.
    If I do this and login to my PS4 account, redownload Far Cry 5 and login to my uplay account will lose my progress or will I still have my progress made in game (logged in to the same PS4 account and the same uplay account)??

    Hey WildCat06Twello, I'd recommend using cloud saves if possible.

    Well I would if I would be able to start my PS4 which is the problem I am having. I did all the safe mode options BUT those for which I will have to delete everything. And if the game progress is saved in a way that I can get everything back after deleting all my PS4 files i wont matter doing so.

    Can you let me know which deletion options from the safe mode menu you are thinking of using? If your save data is not in the cloud, anything that wipes your save files will be irretrievable once done. You can also transfer saves to a USB drive but if you can't get on your console at all this unfortunately won't be an option either.

    I am thinking of using safe mode option 6 or 7.

    I'm afraid both of these options will wipe all of your user data: https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/ge...playstation-4/

    Thank you for your time @Ubi-Bandicoot. I talked to sony about it and it is fixed now, I only lost the progress I made the last 2 days (was not that much, about 2,5 hours) and because I had PS4+ it automatticly saves the savegames online so I Could easylli download it after the reinitializing.
