Ys X: Proud Nordics Save Data Bonus Guide – What Carries Over From Ys X: Nordics, Clear Save Data, and More

Ys X: Proud Nordics launches this week in the West on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC through NIS America. Our Ys X: Proud Nordics save data guide covers what you can bring over from your original Ys X: Nordics clear save on PS5, Switch 2, and PC from the original PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC versions going over items, weapons, accessories, and much more. 

Can you transfer your progress from Ys X: Nordics to Ys X: Proud Nordics?

You can only load a clear save file from Ys X: Nordics into Ys X: Proud Nordics. You cannot load your incomplete save file or any progress you have made in Ys X: Nordics' main story into Ys X: Proud Nordics. You can however transfer over some elements into Ys X: Proud Nordics to play it with a New Game Plus feel. I cover what carries over below.
