The good news is that the hit PS4 game Spider-Man is coming to the PS5. The better news is that you can get it on the PS5’s launch day as a bundle with Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition.
However, the bad news is that you can’t play your PS4 saved games on the PS5 version. Since Sony also hasn’t said anything about playing PS4 games on the PS5, it’s still unclear if you can carry over PS4 saves to the PS5.
Spider-Man on the PS4 and PS5
In a tweet, Insomniac Games said that gamers couldn’t carry over their PS4 saves to their PS5 version of Spider-Man. So, you’ll have to stick with the PS4 for the original game. You can always play Miles Morales on your new PS5.

Playing PS4 Games on the PS5
The Verge reports that Sony had found 99% of PS4 games work on the PS5, though the company did not identify these games. If you get a PS Plus subscription, you can also play 18 classic PS4 games on your PS5. However, Sony didn’t say whether you’ll play the games’ disc or digital versions.
Some PS4 and PSVR games will get “faster and smoother frame rates” on the PS5.

Moreover, Insomniac Games said you could only get the remastered Spider-Man with the Miles Morales Ultimate Edition digital bundle. You won’t find a physical copy of the remastered game anywhere. Instead, you might consider investing in the cheaper digital-only PS5 version.
