Thank you so much, I've had my PS4 slim for goin on almost 6 yrs and was nervous I wouldn't be able to access games I've purchased digitally but have yet to download. So glad you answered all my worries
my ps4 got stolen when i was moving houses and since then i've been in a stage where i just havent been happy because i had so many good memories on it. i recently placed a pre order for a ps5 and i was nervous i would lose all my games and all that until i found out you could just download them off the ps store. thank you for giving me a peace of mind :)
What about the saved data on those games though? Like I fully understand that if I have God of war and sims 4, that I can easily transfer the games over to the ps5. However, what I haven’t found out yet is, will my saves from those games transfer over as well? I’ll get the games but will I still have all my sims and all my saves?
What a great video. So nicely detailed and well presented and explained. Thank you...for when or if I do get a PS 5 in the future 😅 still have a huge PS 4 backlog
Awesome your video explained just what I had in mind! and I was right on everything I thought of, from the data transfer to the GD (Game Drive) to using my flash drive with saved game data. Thank you for showing just how everything will work! This is one of the best how to information video.😉
After two years of waiting I've finally managed to get one. Csme across your video while looking for tips and tricks. Great guide. Thanks for the detail.
this is exactlyyy what i needed! thankyou my guy! copied my games over but no saved data which was kinda annoying, you helped with that perfectly! tytytyty
I just plugged my ps4 external hard drive into my ps5 and tried to resume red dead 2 from where I left off on ps4 and it made me start from the first mission does anyone know how to resume from the same spot as I was on ps4
I’m a bit late to the party but just got a ps5. I have a WD my passport drive in my ps4. Would that be ok to unmount, and Mount onto the ps5? I have vision of corruption errors coming up because I haven’t used a compatible external drive or something?! Second stupid question, when you use an Ethernet cable, does it transfer the games and save data at the same time or is transferring the save data a different process?
I’m getting a ps5 this week so this video was a great help. I appreciate it. So I’m guessing when I transfer my games and data from my ps4 to ps5, no matter which way I do it, that those games won’t be on the ps4 anymore. That’s rough because I wanted to pass my ps4 down to my kids.
Wait I still don't understand? Did you say we can transfer with wifi ONLY not with the cable that you connect?plus where do I connect the interact cable?
I have a question when I did this all the save data from my ps4 games are there on my ps5. But when I switch to the ps5 version of those games my save data is gone. Does the system transfer only bring over the ps4 saves and not switch those saves to the ps5 versions of those games?
Interesting side note on the ps4 you could install over 10 games at a time. PS5 you can only install 1 game at a time but unlike the ps4 the PS5 has 2 separate loading bars 1 for the game and 1 for any updates. So if you want to play the base game without any updates PS5 makes that very easy but to do that on PS4 there are more steps. I prefer to play the base game to see if it can stand on it's own or just incase the the latest update wrecks the game.
Thanks for answering my question i had . If the extended hdd can be swopped between the two devices. That will help a hell of a lot. Just plug my ps4 one into my new ps5 and bham . Copy to ps5. Happy noises to be made.
this is cool i did this but i got my ps5 in one room and ps4 in another i got question how can i use the same data save that i work or past in the ps5 to play in the ps4 ??? i dont know it it make sense? let's say i play 12 nba2k21 games but when i go to the my ps4 and play it i need to play it again?
The big question is will my horizons 4 from ps4 save game data be transferred also? Or I’ll need to start from beginning? Anyone? Just got my hands on a ps5 one day ago, thanks
After 2 years, finally I found a ps5 to buy :) Thanks a lot for show in a very simply way this howto. Just one question: suppose I want to run Horizon Forbidden West PS5 version on PS5. I already startes playing it on PS4. Is there any way to use the ps4 savegame on PS5 version of the game?
So there's seriously no way to transfer games from an external drive if it's not on the exact same software version? Wild. Wish that gaming wasn't held hostage by forced updates. Thanks for the tutorial, it was really helpful (and entertaining).
I did the save data but for some reason it is not picking it up and asking me to Start a new game. I upgraded my call of duty but it is asking me to start a new game all over again. Any videos on this? Any suggestions if not i will have to keep both system. Yes I did save data to the cloud and downloaded them to my PS5 but it saved it under PS4
He described how to do that very near the end of the video and yes you can and yes it will play the disc. the sava data is all your history playing the game unless you want to start all over again.
One question I have is if you transfer all your ps4 games saved data to ps5 and on ps5 you decide to delete some ps4 games, are you allowed to play that deleted ps4 game on ps5 again by redownloading it and picking up where you left off or does it destroy your progress?
However: Some game must be from a same region as the account we use. If the game region is different than our account’s region, it won’t be transferable.
I can not use the PS4 for transfer b/c it broke down. I plan to buy and install an external drive on the PS5 and then install several PS4 disk games. All PS4 games will be installed on the ext. drive.
Okay this is probably obvious but.. Are both consoles connected to the the TV? On separate inputs? What I mean is. How will I be able to look on the TV to connect the ps5 to my wifi? Please help.
Every time I try to transfer from PS4 to PS5 I see a message which reads 'Cannot sign-in using another player's sign-in ID.' Or another message which reads 'Can't transfer data from a console that you haven't signed into.' This, despite being already signed in to both consoles. Help please.
I transferred my PlayStation 4 account to PlayStation 5, and the problem is that I would like to transfer the Redd Disk 4 to PlayStation 5 without losing anything in the game, whether online or Story Mode. How do I do that?
