Hi

I'm not sure whether this has been covered.

Scenario is like this. As i always work outstation during weekday and always stay there. I own a PS4 (I'll name this as PS4 SG) in this place so that i could play during weekday. So during weekend I will be home.

By time passed on, i managed to purchase another set of PS4 so that i could play in my home during weekend as well (I'll name this as PS4 MY).

Here is the question, will i be able to continue to play the game progress that i have been through with my PS4 SG in my new PS4 MY?

Side note:

- Both PS4 will not be able to "meet" each other as they are in different country.
- I didn't download the game, it's disc base.

Hope someone has this experience can share with me about this.

Thanks! smile.gif

iinm, there's a function to upload & download your save file online. So when you use another PS4, just need to login to same account you used to upload the save file and sync the save file at the other PS4. Never try it myself though.

Two ways
Online (Easy but got money involved)
*subscribe to PSN Plus , which gives you permission to upload/download any of your save file , so once you finish playing the game at SG , (it should sync the safe file automatically to cloud ) , if not just sync manually , then go to your MY PS4 , and sync back (usually after turning on PS , it will sync automatically ) or you can do manually.It gives you 10GB cloud storage , which is big enough for save files...and if you set things up correctly , you wont even notice this whole save file data thing as PS4 sync upload and download seamlessly.

USB Storage.(Manual , abit hard )
*Once finish playing the game , save it and plug in your USB , once detected , you can transfer your save file.Go to your MY PS , plug in the same USB , upload/copy it , then load the game with the save file , not really hard , but USB gets missing easily , so yeah...

Either way , it's possible to copy/transfer your save file , but make sure both system logged in same acc , cause those safe file are tied with the acc , means that you can't use the save file with diff acc even its the same game....

Ps4 console is region free , but the game aren't , idk much about that , but if you use the same disk to play on both console , the save file will be good to use i guess

I tried before , but my game was digitally downloaded , it worked for me , it should work the same for disk i guess...anyways good luck and inform me the result , i wanna know too

Great! Thank you so much!! that's what i have been waiting for.

You mentioned about same acc. Meaning i have to set my PS4 SG as the primary account, after that i could use the same account on my PS4 MY?

I will definitely try this weekend and update you.

Try to set SG PS as primary then log in the same acc on MY PS , see how things work out first , if didn't work out , try making MY PS as primary....usually this doesnt matter much , if both of the console has the same acc , regardless which is primary.....the game should work , so does the save file...

Theres some other things that you may encounter like , your games will have a locked icon , if you came across this , try restoring licenses :
Setting > PlayStation Network / Account Management > Restore Licenses

if you using both PS4 alone(no other user) it doesnt matter. Just switch primary when you switch PS4.
only advantage primary account is ability to play that game offline, share your digital content(games, dlc, PS Plus), auto upload your save file. nothing else IMO or am I missing something hmm.gif
