Question 1

Can I transfer data from a child account on the PS4 to the PS5 console?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can transfer data from a child account on the PS4 to the PS5. However, you can’t do it during the initial setup of the console; you will have to do it after. Alternatively, you can set up the console with an adult account and then transfer data from both the adult child accounts during the initial setup.

Question 2

Can you transfer PS4 data to PS5 without PS4?

Accepted Answer

Yes, besides transferring data from your PS4 to PS5 over a network, the other ways of transferring, such as through an external device and cloud storage, do not necessarily require the presence of the PS4 to transfer the data to the PS5.

Question 3

What’s the fastest way to transfer data from PS4 to PS5?

Accepted Answer

The fastest way to transfer data from your PS4 to your PS5 is to connect both consoles to the same network using a wired connection. Or, for a wireless connection such as Wi-Fi or a router, you can connect both consoles using a LAN cable. Also, if you are a PS Plus subscriber, you can opt to download your saved files from the cloud storage.

Question 4

Why is my PS4 to PS5 data transfer taking so long?

Accepted Answer

Data transfer time may vary based on the data size and the internet speed. However, you can troubleshoot this by relocating to a place with faster and more stable internet, or you should consider using an Ethernet cable if you’re connecting over Wi-Fi.

Question 5

Can I transfer data from an account on my PS4 to a different account on the PS5?

Accepted Answer

No, you can’t transfer data from one account on the PS4 to another on the PS5. Purchases made on one account cannot be transferred to a different account. However, if the original account is selected as the primary account, other accounts may access the same data on the same console.
