CNET How To - Backup and transfer PlayStation 4 game saves

2014-12-04
when the PlayStation 4 first came out I did a video that showed you how to replace the hard drive it's a relatively simple process and if you replace it before you start playing any games then you're good to go but what if you want to pick up a different system say the white bundle that comes with destiny or if you want to go ahead and replace the hard drive after you played hours of Call of Duty or another game well there's no need to fear because there are actually two simple ways to transfer your game data if you're a PlayStation Plus subscriber you can upload your game saves to Sony's cloud servers this can be done by going to settings selecting applications saved data management followed by save data and system storage choose upload to online storage select the game data you want to transfer to the cloud and click upload if you don't trust Sony servers or you're not a PlayStation Plus subscriber you can also transfer data using a USB stick in the save data and system storage section click on copy the USB storage device select the game data you want to transfer and click copy then from your new ps4 sign in to your PlayStation account and head back to the application save data management section in the settings menu if you save your data in the cloud select save data and online storage followed by download to system storage if your data was on a USB stick select save data on USB storage device choose to copy the data to the system storage and select the game data that you want to transfer over it's as easy as that for more how-to like this one be sure to check out how to see Netcom you can also reach out to me on twitter with any questions or comments i'm dan gravity net thanks for watching
