When should I use online storage?
- Pick up play on a friend’s system
If you sign in to PSN on a friend’s PS4 console or PS5 console, you can pick up from the last save on your online storage. Don’t forget to manually upload your saves as they won’t upload automatically from your friend’s PlayStation console.
- Upgrade/replacement
If you get a new PlayStation console, just sign in to PlayStation Network and download your saved data.
- Crossplay games
These games can be downloaded and played on more than one type of PlayStation console. For example, if a game is compatible with both PS4 consoles and PS Vita, you can start playing at home, upload your save and continue later on your PS Vita.
- PlayStation Plus on PC
If you have a Premium PlayStation Plus membership, you can use PlayStation Plus cloud storage to transfer saved data when streaming a PlayStation Plus game.
