Here are some additional questions that people often have around managing save data on the PlayStation 4. If you have completed a hard mission or found all of the collectables in a game and want to share this progress with a friend, you are out of luck. Game saves are locked to the PSN account they were created with. This is done to stop people cheating the trophy system. There may be other reasons for it too.

If you want to share your game save with a friend, you will not be able to do it, no matter how innocent your intentions are. The system is locked down to prevent game save sharing. There are a few documented cases where the system can be tricked into accepting a different game save, but for most people this is impossible.

Yes, you can. The section above will explain how to backup game save data to a USB stick. You will be unable to use this game saves for PC versions of the games, unfortunately. The information is unique to the PS4. You may find that for the majority of games, save game data can not be shared across user accounts. Game saves are tied to user accounts to prevent this from happening. You can also use the network storage to transfer game save data between PS4 consoles if you have PS Plus.

The instructions above will explain how to achieve this. The same rules around account locking apply as they do when copying from USB. This is not possible, unfortunately. Xbox and PlayStation have different operating systems and different methods of storing data. This list may change as more games are discovered, but this is still an absurdly small list.

There are multiple ways to back-up and transfer your save files or game files from the PS4 to the PS5. The simplest method is to just re-download your games — this will not retain your save data.
