Before starting the transfer process, also make sure to open the Trophies application on your original system and let it sync to the PlayStation Network. These trophies are likely to be lost completely should you not do this beforehand. Before you can begin the data transfer between the two machines, you have to run an initial setup on your PlayStation 4 Pro. Follow the on-screen instructions, pair your controller, and then connect your console to the internet in the same manner you did the original system.
Once connected to the internet, your PlayStation 4 Pro should begin downloading the latest system software update. Let this process finish and wait for the console to then install the software and reboot. You must be signed into the same PlayStation Network account on both systems, so take the time to sign in your account before switching your attention to your other PlayStation 4.
Next, take an Ethernet cable — it can be practically any length — and connect each end to the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation 4 Pro, respectively. Sony advocates backing up the original PlayStation 4 to a hard drive or connecting both consoles to a router with two separate Ethernet cables, but we found the one-cable process to be much easier and surprisingly quick.
After the PlayStation 4 Pro restarts, it will ask you if you wish to transfer data from an older PlayStation 4 to your new model.
If you did not receive this prompt, you can also find the option under the System section of the settings menu. Select Yes, follow the on-screen instructions, and the system will begin scanning your Wi-Fi network for another console. Transferring data won't overwrite or delete data on your PS5 console or PS4 console. During initial PS5 console setup, you can transfer data for multiple players. After the initial setup is done, you can transfer data for one signed-in account at a time.
Connect your PS5 console and PS4 consoles to the same network. The following diagram is an example of both the PS4 console and PS5 console connecting wirelessly. A Network Connect both consoles to the same modem or router, and transfer your data wirelessly. To transfer data during initial setup, follow the on-screen instructions when you get to the data transfer stage.
When the PS5 console shows the message Prepare for Data Transfer , press and hold the power button on your PS4 console for at least one second until you hear a beep. Your PS5 console automatically restarts during data transfer. After the console restarts, you can start using your PS5 console. You can connect an extended storage drive used with your PS4 console to your PS5 console and access playable PS4 games. Playstation Plus online storage is referred to as cloud storage on your PS5 console.
If you're a PlayStation Plus member, data stored in your online storage is accessible from your PS5 console. Compatible PS4 games are playable on your PS5 console. For disc-based games, you need to insert the game disc every time you want to play, even after the game data is copied to your console storage. However, if you still need help, we've broken down the process in this handy guide.
There are multiple ways to transfer game data from your PS4 to your PS5, the easiest of which is Data Transfer, which we'll review below. Simply log into your PS4 and PS5 with the same PlayStation Network account, update your PS4 to the latest firmware, and ensure that both consoles are connected to the same network.
If you're planning to do the transfer over Wi-Fi, Sony recommends connecting your two consoles via ethernet to speed up the process. You can then start the transfer from you PS5, which will bring over all installed games and saved games from your PS4.
If you won't have access to your PS4 when your PS5 arrives, you can still transfer your games to your new console using an external hard drive.
Considering you'll only have access to around GB on PS5 , that's a good tip. If you purchase the PS5 with a disc drive , you can pop in any PS4 discs and have the game install directly to your new console.
