After Sony revealed the PlayStation 4 Pro, a number of PlayStation users were left with questions. Why doesn't it come with a 4K Blu-ray player (apparently it's because people stream too much)? How will the experience change depending your TV (this is how)? Will we be able to transfer data from our original PS4s to the Pro?
Luckily, the answer to the last one is a solid and confirmed yes. PlayStation owners will be able to transfer their data from the original PS4 to the PS4 Pro with a standard ethernet cable.
Here's how to do it, as per the Sony FAQ:
Q: What if I already own a standard PS4? Is there an easy way to transfer my games, saved data, and Share captured content from a standard PS4 to PS4 Pro?
Yes. You will be able to copy your games, saved data, captured videos and screenshots, system settings, and other content from a standard PS4 to PS4 Pro using a standard Ethernet cable. This process will also work from standard PS4 to standard PS4, PS4 Pro to standard PS4, and PS4 Pro to PS4 Pro provided that both units have system software update 4.00 or higher installed, and the same PSN account is signed into both systems.
Alternatively, you can log-into PSN with your PS4 Pro, access your games and content library, and re-download your previously purchased games and content. Of course, your saved data in online storage will transfer as well
That's some good news!
