There is an issue where the save data corrupts when trying to resign the saves onto a PS5 console. If this occurs to you, follow the below steps:
How to fix:
1. Start the game up (The Long Dark) > From main menu choose Wintermute > Episodes > Episode Five > Green Survivor > Choose any name for the save > Once cutscenes end (around 10 minutes), pause the game > Save Game > New Save > Do this 10 times, so there is 10 different save slots. This is crucial. The names do not matter.
2. Insert your USB drive with the resigned "The Long Dark" saves you want to copy to your console.
3. On your playstation, go to settings > Save Data and Game/App Settings > Save Data (PS4) > Upload or Delete from Console Storage > Copy to USB Drive > Press X on "The Long Dark" save > Press Copy > No
4. After pressing "No", back out and go to "Copy or Delete from USB Drive" > Copy to Console Storage > Press X on "The Long Dark" > Press Copy > Yes. Now you can load up the saves without any issue.

1. QUARANTINE TROPHY [3:37PM 6/19/2026] - Walk up to the 2 guys in front of you next to the fire. After the unskippable cutscene (around 3 minutes), the trophy pops.
2. SEARCH PARTY TROPHY [4:10PM 6/19/2026] - Interact with the body in front of you by pressing "X", this will pop the search party trophy. Immediately after this, a ~3.5 minute cutscene will occur and then once the cutscene is complete, the "To The Bone" trophy will pop.
3. DEAD WAKE TROPHY [8:22PM 6/20/2026] - Pick up the captain's log right in front of you by pressing "X".
4. ADRIFT TROPHY [8:24PM 6/20/2026] - Interact with the door by pressing "X". Once the short cutscene ends, the trophy pops.
5. THE HARD SCIENCES [9:54PM 6/20/2026] - Walk up to the door in front of you. Just follow the characters through a lengthy walk in the station and after an equally long cutscene, the trophy will unlock. It takes about 10 minutes. Follow the below video from minute 38:03 if help is required:
6. WILD AT HEART [10:52PM 6/20/2026] - Kill the cougar, it is right in front of you. It may take a few tries of reloading the save. Killing the cougar should take no more than 4 pistol shots. You can also switch to the shotgun by pressing right on the d-pad, although the pistol is more reliable. If the cougar pounces on you, you can either reload the checkpoint once you're able to move again, or try killing it if it's low on health. It should be nearby. If you can't see it, reload the checkpoint. This took me about 3 attempts to kill the cougar. The ai is very buggy and unpredictable so you might get lucky like I did and kill the cougar before it can attack you. You can follow the below guide for assistance:
7. SONG OF THE EARTH [11:12PM 6/20/2026] - A few seconds after loading the save, a 60 second timer will begin. Once it does, Interact with the wheel in front of you by pressing "X". Rotate it to the right using the left analog stick. Rotate it until it's at 156 degrees and then press "CIRCLE" to release the wheel. Once you do this, an unskippable cutscene lasting, i'm not kidding, 21 MINUTES! will occur and the trophy will pop after the cutscene.
8. FINELY TUNED [4:13PM 6/21/2026] - Walk up to the guy next to the fire. The "Bending The Rail" & "Finely Tuned" trophies pop once the short dialogue is complete.
9. THE LAST LIGHT [4:30PM 6/21/2026] - Go through the door in front of you by pressing "X". Complete the house sequence. In summary, you have to get the scarf from the rocking chair, once you do try to leave the house through the same door you used to enter it. The section lasts about 1.5 minutes. After this a cutscene lasting about 5 minutes will play, and once it's done, the trophy pops. If you need help with this part, follow the below video from minute 3:45:
10. THE NEW WORLD [4:39PM 6/21/2026] - Walk up the stairs. After this, 15 minutes worth of unskippable cutscenes will happen, and the trophy will pop once complete.
How to fix:
