SECTION 03

Known story blockers and the tree-slide workaround

01 · Editorial interpretation

Insomniac says update 01.001.004 fixed Jean Grey dropping off during a Japan mission and Logan failing to slide under a Telambang prison door. Install the newest update your PS5 offers before retrying either point.

Evidence · 1 source
Locate
September 15 hotfix note, second and third fix bullets.
Supports
Insomniac says update 01.001.004 fixed Jean Grey dropping off during a Japan mission and Logan failing to slide under a Telambang prison door. Install the newest update your PS5 offers before retrying either point.
Limit
The note does not identify the exact Japan mission, provide a checkpoint-recovery procedure, or guarantee recovery of a save already stuck there. Kingy has not tested either fix. Checking for updates before retrying is Kingy advice based on the documented fix, not an Insomniac recovery procedure.

SECTION 06

Bonus content before a new save

01 · Editorial interpretation

Missing pre-order or Digital Deluxe items? Insomniac says Bonus Content should be on by default. When starting a new save, open All Settings → Bonus Content and set it On. That instruction does not establish a fix for an existing save; keep your current save.

Evidence · 1 source
Locate
Support answer, new-save setting path and default-on statement.
Supports
Missing pre-order or Digital Deluxe items? Insomniac says Bonus Content should be on by default. When starting a new save, open All Settings → Bonus Content and set it On. That instruction does not establish a fix for an existing save; keep your current save.
Limit
The developer gives no way to change this setting for an existing save, no entitlement-refresh guarantee, and no reason to delete or overwrite progress. The save-preservation caution is Kingy advice. No console or account was tested.
