(typos corrected below)
- To start, on your PS4, make sure you have your save file uploaded to the PlayStation cloud. If you aren't sure, go to Settings, then "Application Saved Data Management", then "Saved Data in System Storage", then "Upload to Online Storage", then "Borderlands 3". Choose your save then choose Upload.
All the remaining steps are on the PS5.
- On your PS5, go to Settings > "Saved Data and Game/App Settings"
- Delete all the Save files you have locally stored on the PS5 for both game versions: PS4 version and PS5 version.
- Go to Saved Data (PS4) > Cloud Storage > Download to Console Storage.
- Then right next to your Borderlands 3 save, you should see a little pencil icon, go there.
- While only toggling the Character Save file, download it to your PS5.
- Open the PS4 version of Borderlands 3, then choose Play, load your character, then choose "Upload Save".
- Open the PS5 version of Borderlands 3, then choose Play, then "Download Save". Your character should then be available to load.
