This is correct.

I haven’t done this myself, but you can also upload your saves to the cloud:

Saves can be backed up to USB as well.

3725

You need to be an active PS+ member for that.

3726

Thanks everyone!

True enough, but my PS4 Pro has failed to recognize every thumb drive I’ve tried so far, so I’ve written that option off.

3728

It may be that it reads FAT32 not exFAT or NTFS.

3729

I believe that’s correct. It must be FAT32 formatted.

3730

I believe I went with FAT32 (googled while troubleshooting) but I’ll have to double-check.

3731

I’d forgotten how oddly hard it is to charge the PS4 controllers. None of them charge by directly plugging them into a USB/wall charger. Most USB cables are apparently not compatible. I can either plug them into the PS4 directly, while it’s on, or I can use one particular Anker external battery - the other two external batteries won’t charge them either - with one of two particular cables. No other combinations works.

3732

I plug it into my PC using the cable that came with the controller. It works.

3733

Yeah, charges no problem for me on PC or using several USB chargers I have.

3734

I bought this when I bought my PS4 Pro last year. Charges two controllers at a time, and also provides additional USB ports. Recommended if you have the space.

3735

I also have no trouble charging them with a wall USB charger and cable that came with some Bluetooth speakers. Never seen any trouble charging them or knew of them having a reputation of being picky about chargers or cables. You might just have some flaky controllers?

3736

I spent $30 on a charging stand a couple of years ago and it was the best investment ever.

3737

I always play with my controllers plugged into the console so I never have to worry about charge.

3738

I know PS3 controllers wouldn’t charge except plugged into the console. PS4 ones should work fine into any charger.

3739

That’s been my experience too, very picky. Charging dock is your best bet.

3740

They can be picky, but I just took a few minutes testing every wall charger I had in order to find the ones good for the purpose, and deploying the others elsewhere.

3741

Sure they do. Any powered USB port
