Transfer your demo save without mixing up the bonuses

Platform-specific import instructions, clear-data rewards and the PS5 trophy warning.

Demo edition · Steam 1.00.2 notes checked · Full release upcoming · Updated 2026-09-12

The short answer

Update the full game first. Use Load Game on PS5 or Steam, or Transfer on Nintendo Switch. Keep the original demo save until you have successfully loaded and saved in the full game.

Before you start

  • A retained 2nd Chapter demo save
  • The full game installed and updated when released

Use the documented title-screen option

PlatformActionAccount requirement
PS5Load GameUse the same PlayStation Network account.
SteamLoad GameUse the Steam library/profile holding your demo save; cross-platform import is not documented.
Nintendo SwitchTransferUse the same Nintendo account.

Distinguish progress from first-game rewards

Demo transfer continues the second game. Loading 1st Chapter clear data is a separate bonus: the official trial page confirms Classic Style SC costumes at the beginning of the demo. The storefront also describes bonus items from clear data, without a complete rank-by-rank reward table.

Do not expect your entire first-game inventory, level or paid costume collection to become a second-game save. Those broader transfers are not established by the cited instructions.

Read the PS5 trophy warning before importing

The official page says “trophies cannot be earned upon transferring save data.” It does not explain every trophy category or future unlock condition. Do not treat old 1st Chapter anecdotes as a promise that 2nd Chapter trophies will unlock retroactively.

If a trophy-complete run matters to you, preserve a separate file and check the current full-game notice before committing to an imported run. This is a precaution, not a claim that all future trophies are disabled.

If the save is not listed

  1. Confirm that you opened the full game rather than the trial, and that the full game has finished updating.
  2. Check the platform and account that created the demo save. Do not assume PC-to-console transfer.
  3. Keep the original file. Record the platform, version and menu behaviour for support instead of overwriting or deleting it.
