Is this for real, Sony?
At least give me the option to back them up to a USB if you're going to put such a simple feature behind a paywall.
Given you can share PS+ from one account for a whole console, there are going to be tons of PS5 users without PS+. If something happens to your console or you want to take your save data elsewhere, you can't without paying for PS+ even if you already have all the other benefits to PS+ from another account.
I just had a situation where my sister came over and did the first few levels of Astrobot as a guest using her PSN login. When I was logging out it told me her data would be deleted if I didn't save it. I pressed save and the only option I was given was through PS+ in which she is not a member and all her data was lost. I haven't even told her yet as I'm sure she'll come back to play even more of the game (she loved it) at a later time.
Also, if I want to sell my PS5 and get another at a later date I’ll have to subscribe to PS+ on every account people use on my PS5 and then do subscribe again when I get another PS5 to download the saves.
This is stupid and ridiculous.
