Does PS4 saved game data from the physical edition transfer to the digital version?
I just bought Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth physical copy a few days ago. If I buy a Digital copy to get the dlc, do I have to delete my saved game?
Best Answer
The saved game is stored on the hard drive, not on the physical disc. As long as you have a copy of the game (physical or digital) your save game will work. The only exception to this is in the case of a new edition of a game, but this occurs rarely outside of games with separate editions in separate global regions.

Answer 2
When you purchase the digital game, the PSN will recognize your license and turn your local phisical game copy into a digital one, without losing any data. Unfortunately, in some situations, your game might be "edition specific" (in the sense you will have to re-download it, and your saves might or might not work), but this thing happening is pretty rare.
