Dude, thank you so much for this guide. I’m planning on getting a PS5 this year if I can get a job and if they get them made and distributed fast enough. There are several game saves that I want to transfer and this guide will help me immensely when the day comes that I get my PS5. Many thanks for this.
For those that connect USB Drive and in PS4 Saves section just says "Your saved data will appear here", make sure you have the correct file structure in your drive. It should have 4 folders like this: PS4\SAVEDATA\\ ID String should be something like: 16x07xf191a9e079
Super silly question but does that folder look like CUSA and then a number? I have this message. I am thinking it could be because the USB does not have a name, but I don't want to change it until I know for sure.
Thanks for the tutorial however my extracted saved file path looked like this PS4\EXPORT\BACKUP\202312232315_00 I want to change it but not sure what my IDstring is in my case, can you please help. Thanks
I finally got mine that my friend was holding for me and set it up yesterday and all i had to do was simply log into my playstation and everything from ps4 was automatically on my ps5 i didn't have to do anything except log into my account.
That's because your data was backed up to the cloud because you must likely have playstation plus set up that way. This is for people who don't have it set up like that
@@Gotiansgames So what you’re saying is that if I transfer my data via USB, I don’t have to do data transfer with Ethernet cable connected to the both consoles? If so, will the USB data transfer work with my PS4 disc games so I don’t lose any progress?
Can you do this without WiFi? I don’t have internet at my house and am trying to move my ps4 saves over to ps5 and this option in the video doesn’t work
My PS4 saves are not showing up when I load the game, I am going to try follow your advice of restarting. Also thank you, after dozens of searches, this video is literally the only thing that touches on that.
Did you guys figure it out? I’m having the same problem. It shows that the storage is there in the external storage but the game isn’t recognizing it. I’ve followed all his steps and it still isn’t working
@@zachshouse2002 I figured it out. The direct transfer option offered by Sony didn't work so I deleted the save files from my PS5 then transferred over with a USB stick and then they worked
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! I was in the wrong menu this whole time and was getting frustrated that I wouldn't be able to finish my PS4 games, but you helped me solve my issue! So appreciate this info man!
*what folder is created when copying? PS4 -> EXPORT -> BACKUP -> * long number folder * -> files with saves. Is that right? Because my ps 5 can’t see any files on my usb. (usb is on FAT32 format sure). Pleeeeasssee help me*
Ok so when I got my USB storage device I put it in the PS4 to get the game data I needed to put in my PS5. Then I putted my USB storage device in my PS5 but when I go to Saved Data and Game/App Settings in PS5 settings. I went to Saved Data (PS4) USB Drive but none of my data I saved showed that's what I need help with.
I'm using an exFAT formatted USB drive where I backed up my PS4 save files. But when I plug it in to the PS5, it reads the USB Drive but on the PS4 Saves section it just says "Your saved data will appear here'. I double checked the drive in my PC and the saved files were still there with the proper file / folder format. :(
Aye so, this isnt working in the slightest. I've tried numerous times, restarted my PS5 numerous times. No matter what i do, it will refuse to copy stuff from my USB to the PS5, it will instead recopy stuff onto my unplugged PS4 somehow???
Same here. My PS5 recognizes a USB flash drive which is also SONY, every PS4 save is ok, I select all, it calculates PS5 free space and finished, Weird is that the button "Copy" is grey, can't hit it, it's not accessible... EDIT: After a while (minutes) the button was OK (already turn to white color), hit it and everything was fine.
yes, my problem also solved now after a bit research and little spent of money, and yes its take some time to load data while loading button looks grey after process is done that's will work fine, @@VinnieP.B.
Please look at the time that I specified. When I get to this stage, it writes the name of the game, but does not put the picture of the game in that square next to the name of the game, and when I transfer the save from the flash to the console and enter the game, nothing happens. The console does not recognize the save Please help me🙏 5:47
Thanks for the vid! Do you know of any issues about the PS5 not detecting the save files in a flash drive? I've been trying to transfer my Ghost of Tsushima save files from one PS4 to my PS5 but my PS5 doesn't detect any save file at all...
Everyone! I've had the same problem recently and it took me hours but I was able to fix it so here are some tipps: 1. Make sure that the Format of the usb is "exFAT" ( Its the best for Ps5/4 2. Don't trust your Ps4 and copy ur data, delete the original, then insert it manually 3. Use the same account with the same PSN
@@maxjoestar4413 I tried it with minecraft worlds and when I used an other account It didn't show up, But when I logged in with my original ps4 account ( where the world was created ) It did show up and I was able to use it
Bro I really appreciate the vid. I had all 3 dark souls, bloodborne and sekiro with heavily grinded accts and was just defeated i couldn't get my saves. Got em now thx to u, ty my friend!😉
I select "copy to USB storage device" and it says "cannot perform that operation. The connected USB storage device is being used as extended storage." Not sure what's causing this.
So I plugged in my external hard drive to the PS5 (Formatted as exFat), went through everything you said on the video, but a message saying "Your saved data will appear here" appeared. Tried plugging to different USB port but it's the same thing. Any idea what's the problem?
@@Gotiansgames Like is it easier to transfer data with a storage device or with the cloud? I have games on an external hard drive but I also have games in the cloud. Can I transfer using both?
Make sure you are looking in the right spot. They don't show up if you're in ps5 save data application, you have to be in the ps4 save data application and they show up
I'm definitely going to get a PS5 later this year before Christmas so that way I can transfer all my game data using a USB flash drive I'm looking forward to get my very first PS5 game console sometime next month or so. I'm so excited
Please help, I ran the RE7 through the external drive in PS5 and used a usb drive to move my data from ps4 to ps5 and and it says RE7 can’t find any saved data.
You have to go through the save data option in the settings on your ps5 and move the save files through there. Also make sure you install the game into your ps5
I just got my USB flash drive but do not know where to go in the settings to view how much storage I have on it (It's brand new btw with no games on it yet, do I gotta download a PS4 game on it first in order to see my USB flash drive storage??). I got it so I can put my PS4 save data on it but don't know where to go... also don't know where to go to eject it from the PS5... please help..
Can anyone help ? I've just purchased a SanDisk 512gb usb stick with a view to copying PS4 data onto the stick and from there to my new PS5 slim. But pretty soon I ran into problems. I thought I had to format the disk as extended storage before transferring data but after I did just that the PS4 told me that it couldn't transfer the data as the disk was formatted as extended storage. So I re-formatted the disk as exFAT as instructed. I was then able to transfer the data to the USB stick. But when I tried to transfer the data to the PS5 and followed procedure I was met with a message which said 'Your saved data will appear here.' I sat there for half and hour and nothing changed. So, where is my saved data and why won't it appear on the PS5 so that I can then copy it to the new console ??
so what if i don’t see usb drive when i go to saved data (ps4) like u did in setting? i was able to do/see everything else but the “usb drive” choice in settings when trying to copy it to my ps5.
The reason I have been asking you so many questions is because when you go on your fortnite account on a different console, it will now want you to link your account to have everything on it. So when you say that I will automatically sign in, due to my anxiety, I have concerns. I don’t have a ps5 yet, but I like to plan ahead due to my anxiety. Sorry for asking multiple questions. 👍👍👍
I really hope one of these works cuz the account I use on PS4 has my brothers old email and password that he can't remember so I had to start a new account so yeah ima hope the flash drive works
the saves are linked to whatever account you were playing them on. I hate this system that playstation has, I wish that it was like the old days where we could take our saves on a memory card and just play them
None of this stuff worked for me. My PS5 doesn’t recognize the saved data on the USB flash drive. My ps4 recognizes it but my ps5 doesn’t. Anyone have any suggestions?
I did everything and when I uploaded it all to the PS5 I checked the system storage and none of its there but I uploaded it and there were no problems?
I have a question, what if I have 2 acconts and the same game has 2 saves? when I transfer the data it will recognise that I have 2 acconts? I need to have the 2 acconts logged in in the ps5 and it will recognise the save from each accont?
Can I ask a question can my 4tb passport external drive with usb with all my saved games on work if I downloaded it on the ps5 like can I play and use my old games and hardrive on the ps5 pls help
I’ve been using my external hard drive for game space on my ps4 but now i want to transfer my game data onto my ps5, it keeps telling me that the external hard drive cannot be used as a usb as it is being used as an external hard drive, any ideas on how to format it as a usb (move all my game data to my ps4 etc?)
someone help me please. I already have the games saved on the USB, but when I go to the PS4 section of PS5 and select to transfer the games via USB, the PS5 asks me to connect to the internet and does not let me transfer them. please help.
I've tried it, but don't work. I've backup the save files in the ps4 pro in a USB. But when I put it on ps5 don't se the usb. But if I go in the media, here I see the USB Drive. Know any solutions?
@@Gotiansgames thanks for your answer. I've sell the ps4 pro but, before make a backup in a usb flash. indeed if i put usb in a pc I see the file ( ps4 -> export ->...... -> archive.dat) but when I'm in a 5:26 and press copy to console storage the ps5 say " there isn't any save data"
Hi, I'm getting my ps5 on Friday!! (25/3/22) .. I know you showed us a flash drive to transfer files across but how does the external storage method work ? I am wanting all my games and saved data transferred from ps4 to ps5
Then get an external hard drive like a Western digital black and upload everything to there. You can play it directly from the hard drive. I have a video on that as well
Ik I have asked so many questions but I promise that this is the last one. So, when I do everything you told us to do. Will it be on the flash or external hard drive. So let’s say Minecraft, you do everything and will it be on the external hard drive or the ps5 hard drive? Or will it be on the ps5 storage Device if you have not already formatted it to the ps5?
Okay, so it will be one the ps5 storage Device. I want it on the ps5 storage device because seagate hard drives can last over 3 years. I got my months ago but due to my anxiety, I want games like fortnite on the ps5 storage device because ps5s last up to 7 years
It won’t let me if I leave at extended Storage and go to copy it tell me it’s using at an extended storage if I stop it and go back it tells me there no usb connected any help or tips
try a different port in the PS5, and make sure you are checking the right spot. Go to application saved data in the settings and then you can click on the options from there. If transferring PS4 data make sure you click on the PS4 saved data
Can i do this with all ps4 accounts/profiles? Cuz i have my brothers account which has a lot of progress on monster hunter and my account which has a lot of progress on multiple games, can i just store both me and my brothers save data into 1 usb stick???
I did do this on an older PS4 system but on 8.03 it says the device has to be formated to an extended storage format min size 250 GB so a small flash drives can not be used.
Hey man I did ewery thing that you do but after when I try to play miles morales NO old saves appear i try also restarting ps5 but no luck please can somebody help using the same ps profile as before
Got a question, i downloaded all PS4 saved game data to an external hard drive but when i went to plug it in to my PS5 a message came up saying something about there being two copies of one of my game's data being on both the PS5 and in the hard drive and that i needed me to delete the data in the hard drive in order for the PS5 to recognise that the hard drive was plugged into the USB. I clicked no because i feared losing data for the game, now it says that no USB storage device is detected. I unplugged the hard drive and plugged in back in and the same message as before came up. The PS5 console is currently downloading the PS5 version of the game in question with the PS4 data for the same game waiting in the queue. Is is safe to delete the data from the hard drive or should i wait till its all been downloaded onto the console before deleting it.
Thanks for the explainer, but when I copied over RE the village, it isn't detecting any game save files when I go to start it up. I took advantage of the free upgrade to the ps5 version so I currently have the ps4 version that I started on, and the ps5 version. Both show starting a new game.

is there a way to move pc save game storge to ps4 using the same method
I’ve been using my external hard drive for game space on my ps4 but now i want to transfer my game data onto my ps5, it keeps telling me that the external hard drive cannot be used as a usb as it is being used as an external hard drive, any ideas on how to format it as a usb (move all my game data to my ps4 etc?)
someone help me please. I already have the games saved on the USB, but when I go to the PS4 section of PS5 and select to transfer the games via USB, the PS5 asks me to connect to the internet and does not let me transfer them. please help.
Does this only work for PS4 games to PS4 games on the PS5. Not updated versions of the same game but the PS5 Version
Thanks so much I thought I would have to finish the whole Red Dead Redemption Two story all over again 😅🙏
I've tried it, but don't work. I've backup the save files in the ps4 pro in a USB. But when I put it on ps5 don't se the usb. But if I go in the media, here I see the USB Drive. Know any solutions?
You need to go to the ps4 data option not the ps5 data option
@@Gotiansgames thanks for your answer. I've sell the ps4 pro but, before make a backup in a usb flash. indeed if i put usb in a pc I see the file ( ps4 -> export ->...... -> archive.dat) but when I'm in a 5:26 and press copy to console storage the ps5 say " there isn't any save data"
thats weird, it should show up as an external hard drive or usb drive
@@catanisInside I have this same issue. Have you found a solution.
Me too, my usb device empty when plug in to ps5. And my ps4 sold out cant use cloud backup
Hi, I'm getting my ps5 on Friday!! (25/3/22) .. I know you showed us a flash drive to transfer files across but how does the external storage method work ? I am wanting all my games and saved data transferred from ps4 to ps5
Then get an external hard drive like a Western digital black and upload everything to there. You can play it directly from the hard drive. I have a video on that as well
@@Gotiansgames i cant seem to find the video - can you send me the link please

Ik I have asked so many questions but I promise that this is the last one. So, when I do everything you told us to do. Will it be on the flash or external hard drive. So let’s say Minecraft, you do everything and will it be on the external hard drive or the ps5 hard drive? Or will it be on the ps5 storage Device if you have not already formatted it to the ps5?
If you transferred to the ps5 hard drive it's on the hard drive
Okay, so it will be one the ps5 storage Device. I want it on the ps5 storage device because seagate hard drives can last over 3 years. I got my months ago but due to my anxiety, I want games like fortnite on the ps5 storage device because ps5s last up to 7 years
Awesome! Thanks Bro! Very helpful!
It won’t let me if I leave at extended Storage and go to copy it tell me it’s using at an extended storage if I stop it and go back it tells me there no usb connected any help or tips
try a different port in the PS5, and make sure you are checking the right spot. Go to application saved data in the settings and then you can click on the options from there. If transferring PS4 data make sure you click on the PS4 saved data
Great thank you I’ll check it out
Can i do this with all ps4 accounts/profiles? Cuz i have my brothers account which has a lot of progress on monster hunter and my account which has a lot of progress on multiple games, can i just store both me and my brothers save data into 1 usb stick???
I did do this on an older PS4 system but on 8.03 it says the device has to be formated to an extended storage format min size 250 GB so a small flash drives can not be used.
I still use a flash drive. It is not an extended storage
Thank you! Awesome video very helpful you're the man!
Bro this vid was the one I needed man 🎉 good job
Can you transfer games on a USB flash drive stick? Not hard drive/game drive. I know you can transfer saves but what about games???
In theory if you have a big enough and fast enough flash drive then sure
@@Gotiansgames thanks!!!
There's a video tutarial on that
Brought my p5 yesterday, I deliberately didn't renew ps+ therefore either transfer games from my p4 or just the save data.
Hey man I did ewery thing that you do but after when I try to play miles morales
NO old saves appear i try also restarting ps5 but no luck please can somebody help using the same ps profile as before
Thanks! Worked as advertised.
Mine says cannot perform action usb storage device is being used as extended storage
Got a question, i downloaded all PS4 saved game data to an external hard drive but when i went to plug it in to my PS5 a message came up saying something about there being two copies of one of my game's data being on both the PS5 and in the hard drive and that i needed me to delete the data in the hard drive in order for the PS5 to recognise that the hard drive was plugged into the USB. I clicked no because i feared losing data for the game, now it says that no USB storage device is detected. I unplugged the hard drive and plugged in back in and the same message as before came up. The PS5 console is currently downloading the PS5 version of the game in question with the PS4 data for the same game waiting in the queue. Is is safe to delete the data from the hard drive or should i wait till its all been downloaded onto the console before deleting it.
I have a digital PS5 is it possible that my PS4 disc games can be saved and I'll play them 🤔
Thanks I’m getting on probably this week
Hi mate! Do i need to format my usb to exFAT? Just to use this method of copying? I will buy ps5 this month
Do I download the game first or do I transfer the save data first
does this work in ps4 ff7 remake too? I played it on Ps4 console
Good video but also required is to be signed into a unique PlayStation network account to be able to save files to usb. Same for destination system.
I have saved games on my 3tb external should i transfer my ps4 games to ps5 or just the saved data and just download the game thru ps5?
Depends on your internet to be honest. But either way you can't play the games directly from your hard drive
I did all this and under storage it detects it but when i go to saved data management it says USB not detected. I have an external hard drive. Help?
Hi when u copy your save games to your ps5 do u have to use your external hard drive with the game disk to play
Thanks for the explainer, but when I copied over RE the village, it isn't detecting any game save files when I go to start it up.
I took advantage of the free upgrade to the ps5 version so I currently have the ps4 version that I started on, and the ps5 version. Both show starting a new game.
