    my ps4 got stolen when i was moving houses and since then i've been in a stage where i just havent been happy because i had so many good memories on it. i recently placed a pre order for a ps5 and i was nervous i would lose all my games and all that until i found out you could just download them off the ps store. thank you for giving me a peace of mind :)

    • @WhatsTheDylBr0
      @WhatsTheDylBr0 Před rokem

      What about the saved data on those games though? Like I fully understand that if I have God of war and sims 4, that I can easily transfer the games over to the ps5. However, what I haven’t found out yet is, will my saves from those games transfer over as well?
      I’ll get the games but will I still have all my sims and all my saves?

  • @kenking2536
    @kenking2536 Před 8 měsíci

    I’m getting a ps5 this week so this video was a great help. I appreciate it. So I’m guessing when I transfer my games and data from my ps4 to ps5, no matter which way I do it, that those games won’t be on the ps4 anymore. That’s rough because I wanted to pass my ps4 down to my kids.
