Lego 2K Drive, the upcoming racing game from Visual Concepts, launches on May 19, but some early players are reporting hours of lost progress on PS5. It’s unclear what exactly is causing this issue, but given that we’ve seen three users discuss the issue online prior to its wide release, it’s safe to say it’s something you should watch out for.
Game journalist Chris Scullion of VGC said on Twitter that he lost 10 hours of progress due to an apparent syncing issue. The reviewer put in those hours in multiple sessions, using the PS5’s Rest Mode to resume the suspended session every time.

Now Playing: LEGO 2K Drive | Awesome Reveal Trailer | Coming May 19
[THREAD]So, let me tell you about how Lego 2K Drive wiped 10 hours of progress from my save file, purely so that anyone else playing the game doesn’t have the same happen to them.Started playing the game and won a couple of races, then the kid started showing an interest.

After those 10 hours, Scullion went into the game’s store to spend some currency, saw that Lego 2K Drive was “offline,” and tried to reconnect to 2K’s servers. This restored the game’s last cloud save, which erased those 10 hours of progress. Scullion said that the game should tell you when you’re disconnected from the server for any length of time, and that connecting will delete established offline progress, which are two warnings that are usually supplied by online games.
Though Lego 2K Drive isn’t officially out yet, its premium editions offered a three-day early access period as part of the package. Two Reddit users have already reported similar issues to Scullion, indicating that this will potentially be a big problem at launch that will likely require a patch. In the meantime, we recommend not using the PS5’s Rest Mode (or any platform equivalent) with the game until we hear more about this issue.
