How to Transfer Borderlands 3 to PS5?
Transferring your Borderlands 3 save files from the PlayStation 4 (PS4) to the PlayStation 5 (PS5) is a straightforward process. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to ensure a smooth transition of your character data and progress from PS4 to PS5.
Can I Play Borderlands 3 on Both PS4 and PS5?
Yes, Borderlands 3 is now cross-playable, allowing you to play your PS4 saves on PS5 and vice versa. Cross-save is enabled, but there is a limit; you can only transfer files between PS4 and PS5, not between PS4 and other platforms, nor PS5 and other platforms.
Transferring Saves from PS4 to PS5
- Start by transferring the saves:
• On your PS4, go to Saved Data (PS4) -> Cloud Storage -> Download to Console Storage.
• Search for your Borderlands 3 saves in the list and toggle on the Character Save File option.
• Select Download to begin the transfer process.
Upload the Save from the PS4 to PS5
- On the PS4, select Play in the game hub.
- Locate the Upload Save option and select it to initiate the upload process to your PS5.
- Wait for the upload to complete, it may take a few minutes.
Playing on the PS5
Once you have transferred your saves from the PS4, start Borderlands 3 on your PS5.
Select the saved file you uploaded from your PS4 and continue your adventures from where you left off.
Additional Notes on Transfer and Playability
• Character names, skill trees, equipment, and items will be retained upon transfer.
• No level cap transfer applies, meaning you will take your level and all previously unlocked content with you when playing on the PS5.
• Coyote Pedestals, Easter Eggs, and easter eggs from previous saves will also carry over.
• PDT (Playtime Drift) is now updated correctly when playing on either console, ensuring accuracy regarding playtime and challenges completion.
