User Info: Chris Chris 4 years ago 4. If you've already managed to order a PS5 before the end of the year, one of the first things you'll want to figure out is how to migrate your PS4 library onto your new PS5 system to make use of its backwards compatibility. Thankfully, Sony has released a video showing how straightforward the process is. 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.
