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?
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
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.
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.😉
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’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.
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?
DONT LOSE HOPE . It works after aprox 7 times 😂 what i did was i plugged the lan caple from router to ps4. Basically wireless conmevtion to ps5 and it worked
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 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
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?
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?
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
I have a question. Can you use say a 4 port USB hub extender on a PS5 to say connect both your external SSD & a USB drive?? I used a 4 port as a primary example because now days you don't see anything less than a 3 or 4 port hub extender.
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.
Most of my physical games are on my 2 TB external hard drive just like my digital games. Once I pop in the disc of the game into the PS5 do I need to transfer the game from the PS4 to the PS5? Or just put in the disc & make sure my external hard drive is connected to the PS5?
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?
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?
Not sure I fully understand. Will the installed digital games on the ps4 be installed on the ps5 after transfer or does it only transfer the game library and the games need to be installed again?
I’m going to get a ps5 soon if I transfer everything from PS4 to ps5 the games I brought digitally on the PS4 will it got to the ps5? As for discs do I need to buy new ps5 discs or carry on using PS4 discs because I want to sell my PS4 I just want to be sure that when I factory reset my PS4 I want all my games saved on my ps5
Hi I have the same set up as you for my ps5. Its horizontal and in a stand like that one. Wife does not like it though she wants it underneath the stand. but the thing is its less airflow.
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.
hey i need help my ps4’s broken and my new ps5 is on the way , i bought gta 5 and crew 2 on my ps4 digitally so will i be able to log into the same account i bought them on and just be able to download them again with all the data?
4:29 Your sense of humor is so subtle but great.
You’ve answered every question in this video I’ve been wondering about most people only bring up one thing while you brought up everything Thank You
Best part of this clip for me? Closing out the half-dozen other tabs I’d queue’d up on the subject to watch-didn’t need ‘em. Great clip, thank you.
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 :)

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
Can you put all your digital games in your library at once?
So happy I found this. My 5 is in the mail and I have so many games in my old 4 that I don't have the energy to start over on
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.
He's not the hero we wanted, but he's definitely the hero we needed. Thanks for the video!! :)

Are you able to run them without the disk?
Do save files tranfer over too?
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

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.

Ps4 broke 😞 and I had a butt load of games is there a way I can re download the games on ps5
Sign into your PSN account 🎉
DONT LOSE HOPE . It works after aprox 7 times 😂 what i did was i plugged the lan caple from router to ps4. Basically wireless conmevtion to ps5 and it worked
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'm pretty sure if you put Games on a external Drive and plug it into the PS5 you can't play them unless you move them to main storage
You can but you only be able to play the PS4 version of the game, to play the PS5 version you have to transfer to main storage.
@@dinghat5551 that's Dumb you'd think the PS5 would have twice the storage space the PS4 Does
Holy crap thank god I found this video
Thank you very much for the highly informative explanations!
this helped alot thank u!
Great content man.
Thanks, worked for me!
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
The PS5 looks HUGE! What version of PS4 do you have?
Best instructions for my son set up no sweat thanks you thank you
This is great, stuff like this makes me so nervous I'll do it wrong. My ps4 pro is like my baby lol
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?
How do you eject the usb drive safely from the ps4 and ps5 can you make a video showing us. Please 🙏🏼
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?
Thank you so much 😊
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
He selected Kingdom hearts, good Man
What about transferring your capture gallery like pics and videos saved while gaming with friends?
I bet this was helpful for the 36 people who had one when this came out lol.
Thank you. Well explained
I have a question. Can you use say a 4 port USB hub extender on a PS5 to say connect both your external SSD & a USB drive?? I used a 4 port as a primary example because now days you don't see anything less than a 3 or 4 port hub extender.

Nice guide
❤very helpful ☺️
I have to like this not just because it's a good video but because he has a kingdom hearts and chose Kingdom Hearts 😆👏
Thanks. Only problem I have is mines been stuck on 0% for 3 hours.
If you have a ps4 but buy a ps5 and just sign in will it save all your stuff or is data transfer better
Thanks for the tips
Most of my physical games are on my 2 TB external hard drive just like my digital games. Once I pop in the disc of the game into the PS5 do I need to transfer the game from the PS4 to the PS5? Or just put in the disc & make sure my external hard drive is connected to the PS5?
Hi I'm watching before getting my console, but question what I have my extended storage inside my ps4 can I simply remove it and add it into my ps5 ?
I have a question of the last one so if i download a game on ps4 and download it on ps5 store i automaticaly have everything back in the game?
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?

Thanks Bro. 😊
2:10 my ps4 got stuck and idk what to do, any tips?
What did you end up doing mine doesn’t have the percentages
great video. so there is no way to copy games and their saves at the ame time, you must do games first and then saves?
For the data transfer method the saved data one do I need ps plus
Not sure I fully understand. Will the installed digital games on the ps4 be installed on the ps5 after transfer or does it only transfer the game library and the games need to be installed again?
I’m going to get a ps5 soon if I transfer everything from PS4 to ps5 the games I brought digitally on the PS4 will it got to the ps5? As for discs do I need to buy new ps5 discs or carry on using PS4 discs because I want to sell my PS4 I just want to be sure that when I factory reset my PS4 I want all my games saved on my ps5
Hi I have the same set up as you for my ps5. Its horizontal and in a stand like that one. Wife does not like it though she wants it underneath the stand. but the thing is its less airflow.
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.
If I have my save date on cloud on ps4 can I upload it on ps5 with out transferring everything
When you transfer all your things do you plug the ps4 and ps5 into the same tv or monitor?
i thought transferring the game from ps4 to ps5 under same account would be done automatically, this explains why i couldn't see my Bloodbourne save 👍
hey i need help my ps4’s broken and my new ps5 is on the way , i bought gta 5 and crew 2 on my ps4 digitally so will i be able to log into the same account i bought them on and just be able to download them again with all the data?
Question: can't u just plug ur extended storage device onto the ps5 & play ps4 games?
Wait when I got over to pa5 do I put my psn account as primary or guest? And will it kick my out of my psn account on on my ps4?
