We talk about quickly transferring games and other data to the next generation console from PlayStation 4

Currently, there are several ways to transfer your data to your PS5 console in order to play purchased PS4 games.

Data transfer

Before transferring your data, make sure:

1. That your console is running the latest software version (update tips can be tracked in the main menu, Notifications section).
2. Sign in with the account you want to use later on PlayStation 5 .
3. Connect your PlayStation 5 console to the same network as your PlayStation 4 (using Wi-Fi or network cable). In case both consoles are connected via Wi-Fi, you can connect both consoles with a single network cable ( Ethernet ) to speed up the data transfer process.

Your data will be migrated in the background,so you can continue to enjoy your PS5 console.

How to play on PS5 from PS4 discs

The most obvious answer we can give to this question is simply put the PlayStation 4 disc into the PlayStation 5 drive, install the game, and launch it.

PlayStation Store

If you've previously purchased PlayStation 4 games from the PS Store, sign in to your PlayStation 5 consoles with the same account and download previously purchased games from your game library to your new console.

Don't forget to transfer your saved game data. To do this, you can use the data transfer, which we talked about at the very beginning of the guide. You can also use PlayStation Plus cloud storage. Keep in mind, though, that you need an active PS Plus subscription to transfer your data from the cloud. To do this , upload your saved data to the PlayStation Network on your PS4 console , and then download it to your PS5 console .

You can also use an external drive to copy your save data and move it to a new console. At the same time, both consoles need an obligation?Be sure to use the same account!
