Thanks bro I’m buying a ps5 soon and I was worrying about the transfer part and stuff.But u showed me how easy it was

[@CreatenightYT]

Did u get one

[@lawofaverages5373]

Transferring all those games takes a fair amount of time. Mine was 7-8hours for about 2.5TB… patience required. Lol

[@bootleg_24]

its so awesome how relatively simple this is

[@wendigojimmay9150]

I didn’t realize having an external storage for me and my boys games would turn the system into what I remember a gaming system use to be. A quick access to multiple games (since modern games take awhile to load still) and multiple avenues of entertainment. We got like 90 games ready to fire up and multiple movies saved to watch at anytime we need. Best part is we can just pack up the storage device if we ever wanted to play elsewhere.

@@Haadi69_911 so u can, or you can download the ps5 version of the game as a lot of games now have a ps5 version from what I've seen, either for a price or free. So instead of transferring, I say just download the ps5 version...it runs a lot smoother, although I haven't felt a difference from the ps4 and ps5 versions of games.

[@DigitalHaze65536]

Paused video at 3:45. Just got my PS5 and have an SSD from PS4 with a ton of games on it ready to transfer to PS5. At this moment my Demon's Souls download is at pretty much the same spot as it is in this video. The first thing I did after setup was buy Demon's Souls, when that is done I'll be putting my SSD from PS4 to PS5 😊 Kinda know what to do just confirming it before I do it, thanks for the tutorial.

[@bobbymiller5297]

So basically I can play my ps4 games from external hard drive. But just move the games I want to load fast to the ps5 internal ssd?

[@shyamal903]

That is 100% correct.

[@dog8438]

Yes

[@Alluora9840]

Ooh I thought it was a USB stick you needed glad to know it can be by a cable 😊

[@MarkAnthonyVillalobos]

does this also transfer over accounts?😂 i have not been able to log into my ps4 account in forever! and was hoping this would not only move my games but also my account because some of the games I have played are connected to the account I cannot log into and I have spent money on those games so I'm just trying to know if it transfers over accounts too.

You are a god damn legend, thank you so much! ❤

[@HUYI1]

Can you create folders for ps4 games or is the only option is the grid view? My games are arranged in folders for different genres on PS4 I'm hoping I can do the same here

[@leonjohnsonjr3331]

U should've said u have to put the original game in the console to play the data on the ps5

[@huntermartin2607]

Can you transfer all data onto the extended storage from the pa4?

[@scottporter463]

I've done this but when I go to play game the saved data is not there any ideas thanks 👍

[@TOXICYT2016]

Wait so on the ps5 if u have a 1tb hard drive and you have your account on it same has the ps4 all your games will be there just have to put the tb into the ps5 like nothing changed?

[@Lunar-Wolf]

So I have 27 games on my external hard drive so all I do it take it and plug it into the ps5 and it will work as long as I sing in to the same account and transfer the save data

[@shyamal903]

Correct, you just won't get the fast SSD load speeds unless you move the games to the internal PS5 storage. However, if the PS4 games have 60fps on the PS5, you will still get 60fps from the external storage.

@@SoSikWitIt Firstly, I do have a PS5. Secondly, I said "IF the PS4 games have 60fps on the PS5". Are you incapable of understanding what the word IF means? If you are, then learn what the word IF means before you start spewing out random nonsense to make me look bad. Never did I say that all PS4 games run in 60fps on a PS5. You just gathered that false fact out of thin air and then claimed that I said it.

I have a big question we have a few games instald with our extended storage box so does that mean I have to move them over onto the box or do we even need to do that or do I just simply safley disconnect it and then I can just plug it into the the ps5 and get all those games with no issues at all. I would love someone to answear this question because might be getting a ps5 soon and this is pretty much the only thing im concernd about.

[@kevinnnnnnn-b]

did it work???

[@jordanking7711]

Thank you for the video NASCompares. My only question is, most of my games (if not all) on extended storage are physical games and not digital. If I migrate to the PS5 with the extended storage and I put in my game disc into the PS5, will it recognize that it's a PS4 disc and therefore open the library automatically showing said game?

[@J_Cruzinn]

If you have the extended storage with the game on there. Youll need to out the disc in everytime u wanna play b

I have tried this, but my data did not transfer. I downloaded ghost of Tsushima and I had the director’s cut, and none of my story progress downloaded. I also have two copies of Ghost, one being the ps4 and another being the ps5 version and have the same thing fir 2k22. Any thoughts? I am incredibly confused

[@Based_investor]

For anyone that's reading this you have to transfer your saves as well which are separate from the game itself.

[@hudson-9164]

@@Based_investor do you transfer ur saves on to the extended storage device or just on to the ps5

[@Based_investor]

@@hudson-9164 I'm offline only (no real need for internet outside of my phone) so I'm not able to use the cloud to transfer saved data. The hdd makes you choose either saved data or the games themselves. Seeing as how I didn't want to fuss with downloading all the patches again I went with the game data.

[@williamwallace5857]

Can anyone help ? I've just purchased a SanDisk 512gb usb stick with a view to copying PS4 data onto the stick and from there to my new PS5 slim. But pretty soon I ran into problems. I thought I had to format the disk as extended storage before transferring data but after I did just that the PS4 told me that it couldn't transfer the data as the disk was formatted as extended storage. So I re-formatted the disk as exFAT as instructed. I was then able to transfer the data to the USB stick. But when I tried to transfer the data to the PS5 and followed procedure I was met with a message which said 'Your saved data will appear here.' I sat there for half and hour and nothing changed. So, where is my saved data and why won't it appear on the PS5 so that I can then copy it to the new console ??

[@rakuen7918]

But do you play the ps4 version on your ps5, or for example, if you had Horizon Zero Dawn ps4 version installed on the external hdd, once you plug it in it plays at the upgraded graphics with 60 fps? Or same graphics with 60 fps, or same graphics with 30 fps? ;P

It is the PS4 version, with any few PS5 upgrades (such as 60 fps, if there is any upgrades).
