Data Transfer from PS4 to PS5 consoles

The data you transfer will not alter or remove anything on your PS5 or PS4 system. You can transfer data for numerous players during the first PS5 setup. You can only transfer data for one signed-in account at a time after the initial setup is completed.
Prepare your PS4 for data transmission.
1. Sign in with the same account that you use on your PS5.
2. Install the most recent version of the system software.
3. Press the OPTIONS button while viewing Trophies and then pick Sync with PlayStation Network to synchronize your trophy information.
4. Make sure your PS5 and PS4 consoles are connected to the same network. LAN cables are available commercially, or you can connect wirelessly (Wi-Fi®). Both the PS5 and PS4 consoles can connect wirelessly, as shown in the diagram below.

 

A) Network

Connect the PS5 and PS4 consoles to the same modem or router, and transfer your data wirelessly.

B) LAN /Ethernet cable

When you have only one LAN cable, try this: Connect your PS5 and PS4 consoles to the same network wirelessly. Then, using your LAN cable, connect your PS5 console to your PS4 console. Doing this results in a faster transfer speed — as fast as connecting both consoles to the network with LAN cables.
When both consoles are connected to the network using LAN cables, you don’t need to connect the PS5 console to the PS4 console.

C) HDMI cable

D) Power cord

Use the power cords included with your PS5 and PS4 consoles respectively.

To transfer data during initial setup, follow the on-screen instructions when you get to the data transfer stage.

To transfer data after initial setup:

1. Turn on your PS4 and PS5 consoles and connect them to the same network using WIFI or LAN cables.

2. On your PS5 console, go to Settings > System > System Software > Data Transfer > Continue.

3. Select the PS4 you want to transfer data from:

When the PS5 console shows the message Prepare for Data Transfer (see image)

4. Press and hold the power button on your PS4 console for at least one second (until you hear a beep).

5. On your PS5 console, select the data you want to transfer.

6. Read the precautions, and then select Start Transfer.

Your PS5 console automatically restarts during data transfer. After the console restarts, you can start using your PS5 console.
