Can I copy PS4 game save data from old user to a new user?
I'm trying to transfer my Final Fantasy XV game save data to my new user?
Best Answer
It appears that it is not possible to transfer saves between users:
Save Data is account locked so you cannot transfer save data to different accounts. basically to prevent cheating, boosting, etc on the trophies. among other reasons. mainly Piracy
You can only transfer them between different PS4 systems, though without the same user on the new system, they cannot be accessed (for the above reason):
As a backup, you can copy saved data to a USB storage device connected to your PS4™ system. Copy saved data from the USB storage device to another PS4™ system to continue playing a game. For each game, you can select the saved data to copy.
- To use this feature, you need to have signed in to PlayStation™Network at least once.
- FAT and exFAT formatted USB storage devices are supported.
- Be sure to fully insert the USB storage device into the USB port. Some devices are not compatible due to shape or design.
