Upgradable cross-gen titles won't transfer single-player data
Various schemes will be in place to allow buyers of specific current-gen titles to upgrade to next-gen versions at little extra cost. But the publishers of those games have warned that single-player saved data will not be retained in the transfer.
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Watch Dogs, and Battlefield 4 have been confirmed to be supported by Sony's digital upgrade policy, while UK retailer GAME has said it will offer £40 credit on Xbox 360 and PS3 copies of FIFA 14, Battlefield 4 and Call Of Duty: Ghosts when traded for Xbox One or PS4 versions of the same game.
EA and Activision have confirmed that online multiplayer data for Battlefield 4 and CoD: Ghosts (respectively) will make the jump across generations - owing mainly to that progress being server-based.
But single-player save files for current-gen versions of those games, and for Assassin's Creed IV, will not be compatible with next-gen versions, it was confirmed to Kotaku today.
Ubisoft is yet to confirm if this is also the case with Watch Dogs, but it would appear likely.
Sony has confirmed that players who use its digital upgrade scheme to upgrade a physical version of a PS3 game will be required to keep the PS3 disc for insertion into the PS4 to enable gameplay.

Na, it shouldn't. It's a game save not on a server. Ps4 won't cross over I'm sure
