If you want to upgrade your PlayStation to a newer one, you may first need to transfer your data between the two devices. There are three ways to transfer your data from your basic PS5 to your Pro device, and there is a method that is considered the simplest, which will be shown in the following steps. However, this method requires you to have access to both devices, so make sure you do not sell your old device before performing this process.
Here are the steps to transfer data between the two devices:
Step 1: Connect your PS5 and PS5 Pro to the same local network.
Step 2: On your PS5 Pro, go to Settings > System Software.
Step 3: Scroll down and select “Transfer Data”.
Step 4: Follow the instructions until the PS5 Pro searches the network for your PS5 .
Step 5: Assuming both devices are turned on and connected to the network, the data transfer will start automatically.
