PS4 data transfer refers to the process of copying saved data (such as game progress, settings, and installed applications) from one user account on a PS4 to another user account or to an external storage device. The transferred data can then be imported to the destination user account on the same or another PS4, allowing users to move their saved data between different PS4 systems or to share it with other users. The process of transferring data on a PS4 requires the use of a USB storage device, and not all saved data may be transferable depending on the individual game or application.
How can I transfer saved data on PS4 from one user to another?
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
- On the PS4, log in to the source user account from which you want to transfer saved data.
- Go to “Settings” from the home screen, then select “Application Saved Data Management”.
- From there, select “Saved Data in System Storage”.
- Find the saved data you want to transfer and select it. You should see options to “Copy” or “Delete”.
- Choose “Copy” and select an external USB storage device to copy the saved data to. Make sure your USB storage device is formatted for use with the PS4.
- Once the copy process is complete, log out of the source user account and log in to the destination user account.
- Go to “Settings” -> “Application Saved Data Management” -> “Saved Data on USB Storage Device”.
- Select the saved data that you copied from the source user account and import it to the destination user account.
It’s important to note that not all saved data can be transferred between users. This depends on the individual game or application, so check with the game’s developer or publisher to confirm if the saved data is transferable.
