New PS5 Users Always Forget To Do This

Here's the one trick new PS5 users forget to do when using Playstation 5 console for the very first time.. Did you know you can send games from PS4 to any PS5 console by just using a ethernet LAN cable? Most Playstation users never do this, but you won't have to ever re-download any Playstation 4 games again if you try it! I show you how to use this feature step-by-step easy. It's surprising that most Playstation don't know or remember to use this incredible feature! Best of all, it's so simple that you will wish you knew about it sooner. To get started, all you need is your current Playstation 4 and new Playstation 5 consoles. You also need to use a LAN cable to both consoles together for sending games. Follow the instructions carefully in this video.

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.

finally someone who explains things correctly, Best transfer video on YouTube. Thank you man

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 👍

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

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.

[gordonthiessen]

Just did this with the ps5 I got today! Perfect timing on the video

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

My question is which system has to be on to do the transfer the ps5 or ps4 ? Because you can have 2 systems hooked up at the same time if you're using just one tv. So again why system should be on my screen doing the transfer? 🤔🤷‍♂️ and another question do i have to have playstation plus to transfer my games? Because i see alot if these clips and videos where people have playstation plus.

You helpend me with so many problems, sometimes with problems i didt knew i had. So thx for all your video's and keep up the good work!

[reaperjl]

So ps4 & ps5 both connected to Wi-Fi, while at the same time a ethernet cable is plugged into the 2 during the transfer? Correct? 😅

Just double checking because of my ADHD/Autism.

[terryrobinson]

Does it transfer accounts too or merge them all

[OmegaYoshi]

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.

I did not know about this very helpful video thanks 👍🏼

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.

[ZoherMotiwala-hd]

How much time does it approximately take to transfer 400gb??
Or is it pretty quick??

[ricardocruz]

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)

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.

[angelramirez]

Is it ok if you plug it in while the consoles are doing the Data transfer

[footballmadnessclips]

Can u connect both of the playstations to the one television

[Loophole]

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.
