Sounds like something only a small number of devs would implement. Unless they are confident they can fuck with the memory space of all games without issues. I expect a PS5 game is a bit more complicated than a saved state on an SNES.

Right?

We're already capable of snapshotting memory state, I suppose this is just the next step of that. Maybe writing to a memory buffer etc
