While Planet Zoo pre-loading won’t be possible, players will be able to transfer over some of their progress from the game’s beta. More specifically, the Career Mode - Scenario 1 save file should carry over just fine.
That, however, will not be the case with Franchise Mode saves, and the developer recommends starting over regardless of mode “for the best play experience”.
Steam Workshop blueprints uploaded during Planet Zoo’s beta will remain online and should be compatible with the game’s full version. If issues appear, it will be likely due to updated assets that could require repositioning.
Planet Zoo is scheduled to launch on PC come November 5.
