What you can bring forward
Insomniac representatives described New Game Plus as retaining the loadout and progression you unlocked, including suits. PlayStation also confirms exclusive Techniques and higher level caps in the new run. A published completion walkthrough describes retaining gear, levels and skills. Check the new save’s menus to confirm the items and upgrades relevant to your own setup.
| Item or goal | What to check |
|---|---|
| Equipped suit and loadout | Review the inherited choices in the new run and select your preferred unlocked suit. |
| Level and abilities | Check your level, Techniques and equipped Adaptations after starting. |
| New development | Look for New Game Plus Techniques and the raised caps as they become available. |
| Missed level collectible | Consider Mission Replay first and check the level tracker. |
| Collectible presence or mission-state reset | Verify the game’s current description and tracker; sources do not establish every item’s reset behavior. |
Start with a clear save
- Finish the final story mission and wait for the game to show the completed state.
- From the main menu, open the save selection and choose the New Game Plus option associated with the completed save. Read each on-screen instruction before confirming.
- Before continuing, identify the source save and destination slot. If the game offers a separate slot, use an available one; do not overwrite a save you want to keep without checking the warning.
- In the new run, open the available progression and suit menus. Confirm your level, preferred equipment and Adaptations, then examine newly available Techniques or caps as you progress.
If the New Game Plus option is missing, first check that you selected a completed save and that the game is updated. Consult current official notices for your installed version. If it still does not appear, record the version and any error for official support.
