Some Playstation 4 users see the “Incomplete game installation” option. Failed to load save data when loading Bloodborne or loading save data disk failed to load. Most of the time, this issue occurs when users use the disc version of Bloodborne (GOTY Edition).

Update the game from the control panel.

It turns out that the problem is most likely due to the game not working on the latest available version or the latest game update still being installed in the background.

At the same time, there is a hurdle with the Disc GOTY version where the game update does not show up when installing the update.

Once you have your console to check for the latest version, take an hour off and put your Playstation in sleep mode. This is essential because Bloodborne can still install the update even if you don't see the PS4 dashboard.

There is no official confirmation as to why this is happening for the Bloodborne Game of the Year Edition CD. People think it's just bad code from From Software.

Uninstall and reinstall Bloodborne

  • First, Bloodborne is absolutely decrystalized.
  • Insert the CD to start a new installation procedure
  • Download and install the patch
  • Now the game begins

Tip: Don't start a new Bloodborne game until you've downloaded and installed the patch.

If none of the above methods helped you and the message “Game installation was not completed” appears. Error saving recorded data. Cannot load when trying to load a recorded game. There is one more solution you can try.

In the end, you can avoid the mistake entirely by creating a new character in Bloodborne, going through the first cutscene, and then heading to the first bonfire. After lighting the first bonfire, return to the main menu via the options screen and reload a previously unsuccessful saved game.

If you are still having problems, you should contact PlayStation Support for more information on troubleshooting. You can also consult corrections or updates in our official forums.
