Thank you for this. I thought I would of had to download from my library and seeing I don't have the fastest net speed this will make the transition much better.
@@YoshiBoy No, since for that game you should be using the PS5 version if you have a PS5, which you will need to download since it cannot be on a PS4 (the PS5 version).
All i had to do was log into my playstation account and all of my ps4 games i had saved was automatically transferred over to my ps5. I didn't need any kind of cable whatsoever
Exactly what I did once I got my PS5 over a year ago. Also best to store your PS4 games on an external hard drive so you can just plug it directly into the PS5 and play them instantly.
I made the mistake of doing the data transfer over the network (wired internal, not even wifi) & it took forever. Wish I had the sense to do it directly as in your video! Great advice & yet another straight to the point, no bs post 👍
Only took me 13 hours to transfer a few games from my PS4 to my PS5 over LAN. I was kinda pissed. I could have just re-downloaded everything much faster. Lol.
I did my PS4 to PS5 over my LAN connection, I had ESO which is 97 GB Skyrim neverwinter Tera and blessed unleashed which are what 50 gigabytes a piece and then whatever small stuff I had it took 23 minutes
Yo just upgraded and this is the truth. My vibe is on ten after seeing this. Xox. You got any tips for Xbox one to s? Feeling janky on that one. I don't wanna lose my games apps or anything.

if you have ps plus, personally I think it's better to put all of your save data from PS4 into the cloud and then redownload the games and save data that you want on your ps5. that way you don't have the games you don't play and capture gallery clogging your PS5's storage, and then if you decide you want to play one of your games that you didn't already download on PS5, you can just redownload your games and their save files when you want to play them
Another way I know of for data transfer is saving the data to/from the Cloud with PS+, and apparently this way is fairly quick as well if you decide to skip the data transfer during the initial setup.
Early+ I watch all this videos without having a ps5 I got countless invites but didn’t have the facilities to order it 🤷🏾♂️ it’s least I know EVERYTHING to do when I get one. Thanks😁
Thank you nobody was answering the question if they needed to be on wifi while they were connected with Lan lol finally I know it'll be simple to setup
I have a question is it possible to tranfer games from a external driveon the ps4 to a external drive to the ps5? Becouse the external drive i used for the ps4 my ps5 wont recognize it.
Does it only transfer the software or save game data too and when there’s more than one user accounts do you have to transfer each account or does it all get transferred over with one account signed in?
I have a smal tip for all of the new ps5 users who already have a ps4 and only want to transfer the save data to the new console: you can use the Plus cloud or a simple usb pendrive. You can just plug in the Pendrive on the ps4, go to storage, and there you can select your save files and have the option to transfer to the usb sotrage, with the triangle, if I remember. This way, and with the cloud, you can tranfer all of it, a part of it or just one. I think you need to be logged with the same acc on both consoles to ba able to use the saves (save files are bound to the acc)
Yes, you can choose what to transfer to a certain degree, as I did more than a year ago, I dont rememberif you can choose wich game or all games only. If its only a few saves, might consider using a normal usb pen drive to transfer (I did with an old ps4 to another for a friend and its pretty much the same, just plug in the Pendrive on the ps4, go to storage, and there you can select your save files and have the option to transfer, with the triangle, if I remember).
Thank you for this video. However, Im having a problem, My PS4 is connected to my PS5 with the Ethernet cable but it is not seeing my PS4, " Can not transfer data " ? I was logged in to both on the same account before I disconnected from the internet and connected them together, Do you need to be wirelessly connected to the internet as well on both devices ? And, be connected via Ethernet ? thanks
@John Glasscock I was just about to ask you to link the Ethernet cable you’re using in this video good thing I checked the description appreciate the link dawg.
If I already connected my ps4 via ethernet to my home internet, what happens if I just pull the plug to connect it to my ps5? Is it still be okay, even if there’s no internet connection on my ps4 and 5?
I kept my ps4 pro when I got my ps5. The only game save I wanted to transfer was horizon zero dawn so I could install the game on my ps5 to see if it unlocked a trophy that wasn’t unlocking on my ps4 pro. As it was just one game save I just copied it to an old usb I had found in a drawer. Ps5 is a good console but I couldn’t give up my ps4 pro when it works perfectly and is perfectly optimised with my TV. The only console I was willing to give up was my one x but it depreciated so much that it wasn’t worth trading in for store credit or selling, would of been virtually giving it away. That console is just used to charge my devices from its USB ports like LED lights or my ps5 controller from rest mode. True story.
I’ve always had this question I want to know if you get a ps5 but bet a new one. Would I have to restart any data that I used on the first ps5. Or would it all transfer to the second one
I did this immediately. However, despite the extra cost, you will want to buy a storage expansion for the PS5 as it will quickly fill up. 1 or 2 TB should be good enough. 4 TB is overkill.
Bro my Homie just got his PS5 Delivered Moments ago I got a PS5 and didn't knew this If fate didn't had a Hand in this then I don't know Thank you alot!
What if my ps4 mother bored is corrupt data it don’t work but still have my games in it . Can I still transfer my games to my ps5 with the e Internet cable or will it brake my ps5?
I sold my ps4 before doing this. And before selling i did reset. Did i lost all of my game progresses or is it saved to my ps network?? Please somebody answer
My PS4 is connected to Ethernet not wifi while playing. If I unplug the ethernet cable from the modem and connect it to PS5 will it transfer my games from PS4 to PS5?
I still have my PS4 right next to my PS5 slim . Was not hard to transfer data , in I did it over WiFi . Literally just upload data to the storage cloud then transfer it to the PS5 console. In download a game one at a time , not to overload it . Took less the one hour to download dying light 2 , battlefield 2042 , GTA online & star wars battlefront 2 & assassin's Creed Valhalla with all my save data from PS4
Yo I’m going threw the data transfer rn,I still have 14 hrs left but I am able to actively use my ps5,if I cancel the download can I just download my games separately,and will the data save?
If you have a ps plus just move the games in an external hard drive and backup your save data in the cloud so you can save some space for your ps5 games
Wish I could have done this. I just ordered one a couple of days ago, but I had to trade in my PS4s immediately and get some of that money back because I technically couldn’t afford it.
Hi there mr.John. in this very video, you said transferring data from a ps4 to a ps5 neither overrides or deletes data from either of the consoles is that really true? I'm just asking cuz I heard of different info from someone else who said transferring data takes everything to the ps5 leaving nothing on the ps4
If you use an external hard drive it will work automatically with the ps5 without need for transferring. Save information can automatically be pulled from the storage cloud. The method featured here is only necessary if you store everything directly on your ps4
My question is, can you transfer what's on a external hard drive connected to a PS4 to a PS5? Becuase if you get an ssd you won't be nearly as pressed for storage space.
HELP ANSWER THIS QUESTION PLEASE I have a question. If you had a lot of errors like maybe corrupted data from games or maybe something else like games won’t load,will that all go to the ps5 ? because I am getting one and I don’t want to have the same problems that I used to have in the ps4. Now I don’t know if it my account or my console so I am scared to transfer all of my data to the ps5 because it might have the same problems from the ps4 please help
Does the available data that can be transferred also include recorded clips or screenshots from the ps4? I have a lot of those clips from when I’m completing a game and would like to transfer them out when I have my ps5.
Hey John, so I’m currently waiting for the Background Transfer to finish. If I connect the two consoles using the ethernet cable, will that speed up the transfer??

Thank you for this. I thought I would of had to download from my library and seeing I don't have the fastest net speed this will make the transition much better.

@@MM-zw8sm MSRP bundle. Sam's club had a good drop last Friday
How much longer will it be hard to find? Not tryna flex but I literally forgot abt it being impossible to find one after getting one
I used an external hard drive with my PS4, so the transition was much easier. Just plug the disk into the PS5 and I already had everything in it
So if I have a PS4 game on my external hard drive, I can just plug it into the PS5 and it'll play??
@@YoshiBoy yes. Did the same and it saved some time.
@@chinofreak thank you! But for games like miles morales, should I put it onto the hard drive then transfer it to the PS5s ssd?
