How to Transfer Ps4 Games to Ps5 – PlayStation 5 (PS5) will load and play your PlayStation 4 (PS4) games and save files, provided you import them from one console to another. Here’s how to transfer all your old data.
If you’re a PS5 and PS4 owner, you can easily transition between consoles. Not only are all but some of the PlayStation 4 games compatible with the PlayStation 5, but you can also transfer saved games to your new console.
There are several ways to transfer game storage and data between two consoles, and which one you choose depends on your comfort and tolerance for extra cables. Note that this refers to stored data and digital game downloads. If you have a standard PS5 and PS4 game disc, you can insert the disc into the PS5 disc drive, and the game will install automatically.
Transfer Via PlayStation Plus
If you have a PlayStation Plus subscription, then you have other options for moving your saved data from one console to another.
Again, you’ll need to make sure you’re signed into your PlayStation Plus account on both consoles. You can do this by going to the “Settings” menu and double-checking the “Accounts” menu to make sure that your username is the same on both consoles.
To move your stash, go to Settings > Saved App Data Management.
These settings will let you control how your stored data transfers between system storage, the online cloud storage you get with PS Plus, and USB devices (more on that later). Select “Data Stored in System Storage”.
From there, select “Upload to Online Storage”. This option has a small PlayStation Plus symbol next to it.
You will see a list of all the games whose data you have saved. Selecting a game will display a list of every save you have in the game. You can choose to transfer all or only certain storage.
This process will also notify you if these saves have been uploaded to the cloud. PlayStation Plus syncs storage frequently, so you may not need to manually repeat the process.
Once you’ve uploaded all the stash you want to the cloud, turn on your PS5 and download the game of your choice.
Then go to Settings > Saved Data and Game/App Settings.
From there, scroll down to “Saved Data (PS4)”, then select “Cloud Storage” from the submenu. It will have a small PS Plus symbol next to it.
Select “Download to Console Storage”.
From the list that appears, select the PS4 storage you want to save, then hit “Download”.
When you boot up the PS4 game in question on your PS5, your stash will be there waiting for you.
Transfer Save via USB
Similar to the above, you can transfer saved data from your PS4 to your PS5 via an external device — in this case, a USB stick.
Select “Saved Application Data Management” in the Settings menu. It’s worth noting that the PS4 won’t copy storage to anything formatted as “additional storage”, which means you can’t transfer your saves to an external HDD as mentioned above.
Select the option for “Copy to USB Storage Device”. Select the data you want to move from the list of games that appears. As mentioned above, you can move multiple saves from one game.
Select your preferred storage, then press “Copy”. This will put the game on your USB device.
To safely unplug a USB device, go to the “Devices” menu in “Settings”, navigate to the “USB Storage Devices” submenu, and select the device in question. Finally, select “Stop Using This USB Storage Device”. You can then safely remove it from the PS4.
Next, plug the USB device into your PS5 and go to “Settings”. Scroll down to “Saved Data and Game/App Settings”.
From there, go to “Saved Data (PS4)” and select “USB Drive”.
Then, “Copy to Console Storage”.
If the game has not been downloaded to the PS5, the saved data will be called “Uninstalled Game or App”, but you can copy it to the console. The storage will be there when you install and boot the game.
