Once it does, you\u2019ll have access to all of your old information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Transferring Data Through Extended Storage<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There is another method by which you can transfer data from one console to another: <strong>Extended storage<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Extended storage is classified as any USB stick or external drive that is compatible with the PlayStation operating system. For PlayStation 4, that extended storage needs to be 250 GB or higher and USB 3.0. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the PS5 5 version of extended storage, it needs to support SuperSpeed USB 5 Gbps or later, with a minimum of 250 GB and a maximum of 8 TB. Once you connect one of these two devices to your console, you will need to format it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can do this by going to <strong>Settings <\/strong>&gt; <strong>Storage <\/strong>&gt; <strong>USB Extended Storage <\/strong>&gt; <strong>Format as USB Extended Storage. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you format the drives, you can transfer games and save data from one console to the extended storage. You can\u2019t play games on PlayStation 5 directly from an external drive, but it\u2019s often faster to transfer games from the PS5 to the USB drive and back than it is to redownload them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Troubleshooting The Transfer Process<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you <a href=\"https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/list-of-current-playstation-5-problems-and-fixes-you-should-be-aware-of\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"26492\">run into any trouble<\/a> while trying to transfer data from the PS4 to PS5, ensure that both consoles are updated. Both your PS4 and PS5 console need to be on the latest version of the operating system before this process will work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, ensure they\u2019re on the same Wi-Fi network. The easiest method is to connect both your PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 to your router through an Ethernet cable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gamers hate losing save data. Don\u2019t let it happen to you \u2013 take advantage of Sony\u2019s built-in tools to transfer your data from one console to the other with ease and pick up where you left off. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re lucky enough to get your hands on a Sony PlayStation 5, you might want to try out some of your favorite PlayStation 4 video games to see how [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":58677,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-58676","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-how-to"},"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2022\/03\/image.jpeg","author_info":{"display_name":"Patrick Hearn","author_link":"https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/author\/phearn\/"},"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO Pro 4.9.5.2 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"If you&#039;re lucky enough to get your hands on a Sony PlayStation 5, you might want to try out some of your favorite PlayStation 4 video games to see how they\u2019ve been upscaled and how the performance has been improved (like the much-loved Ghost of Tsushima.)
