Sorry if thread already made but what the hell?!

At the moment, the PlayStation 5 doesn't support copying save data onto external storage devices. Instead, the console's only option for moving save files from one PS5 to another, or backing up save data, is to use Sony's cloud storage — which is available exclusively to PlayStation Plus subscribers.

I had read somewhere that you can't copy PS5 games to a hard drive for storage (to then at least do a faster transfer to the internal SSD for playing). But you can't even copy save files without being forced into a PS Plus sub? Crazy

And sorry I meant to write PS5 on the thread tittle.
