Key notes
If you ask PlayStation players what they are up to these days, they’re probably busy enjoying new titles such as Elden Ring, or Horizon Forbidden West.
Ever since tasting the success that Horizon Zero Dawn had, creators knew they had something really special and that a sequel would be more than welcome.
But not everyone has managed to get their hands on a PlayStation 5 just yet, so many gamers are still enjoying this new title on their PS4.
Those that did, and have already started the game on PS4, would now like to transfer their saved games to the new generation console, if possible.
We’re here to tell you that it is possible, and we are going to show you how to do just that in the following guide that we’ve prepared especially for you.
How can I cross gen transfer my Forbidden West saved game?
Luckily for us, game creators have made it relatively easy to transfer saved games from PS4 to PS5 in Horizon Forbidden West.
This will only take a few minutes of your time but it is totally worth it if you want to savor every moment you spend in your new favorite game.
There are two methods you can use, depending if you still have your old PlayStation 4 console or not. If you don’t, the process can be done with a USB drive.
1. How to transfer if you still have your PS4
This is pretty much the entire process you have to go through if you kept your PS4 when acquiring the new generation PS5.
However, if you decided to sell it, or gift it to someone, here’s how you can accomplish the same thing without the need for the older console.
2 How to transfer with a USB drive
Once you’ve successfully completed the process, you can enjoy some quality gameplay on your new, state-of-the-art console.
Remember that this is still a PlayStation exclusive, but it will surely become available for PC players later on, just like Horizon Zero Dawn, which is now on Steam.
