Fear not, soldier! Transferring your game from your trusty <strong>PS4<\/strong> to the next-gen powerhouse is a straightforward process. Here&#8217;s a breakdown of the methods you can use:<\/p>\n<p>The quickest and easiest way to transfer Modern Warfare (assuming you&#8217;re referring to <strong>Modern Warfare II<\/strong> or its successor) from your <strong>PS4 to your PS5<\/strong> is to utilize an <strong>external hard drive<\/strong>. If you&#8217;ve already been using an external drive to store your <strong>PS4 games<\/strong>, simply unplug it from your old console and plug it into your <strong>PS5<\/strong>. The <strong>PS5<\/strong> will recognize the drive and you can launch the game directly from it.<\/p>\n<p>If you do not have an external hard drive or prefer not to use one, there are alternative methods, such as <strong>downloading it again directly on the PS5, using a Wi-Fi network or a local area network (LAN) cable.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-by-Step_Transfer_Guide\"><\/span>Step-by-Step Transfer Guide<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before beginning the transfer, ensure both your <strong>PS4 and PS5<\/strong> are connected to the same network. Sign in to the <strong>PlayStation Network<\/strong> on both consoles using the same account. This ensures that your progress and purchases transfer seamlessly.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_1_Using_an_External_Hard_Drive\"><\/span>Method 1: Using an External Hard Drive<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Unplug the External Drive:<\/strong> Safely eject the external hard drive from your <strong>PS4<\/strong>. Make sure the console is completely off before unplugging.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plug into PS5:<\/strong> Connect the external hard drive to one of the <strong>USB ports on your PS5<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Locate the Game:<\/strong> On your <strong>PS5<\/strong> home screen, navigate to your <strong>Game Library<\/strong>.

The <strong>Cross-Gen Edition<\/strong> of <strong>Modern Warfare II<\/strong>, for instance, includes a free digital upgrade for the <strong>PS5<\/strong>. If you have the standard <strong>PS4<\/strong> version without the upgrade, you might need to purchase the <strong>PS5<\/strong> version separately.
