Earlier this year, PC gamers were treated to Edge of Reality’s free-to-play, third-person competitive shooter Loadout. Studio Creative Director  Mark Nau announced today via the PlayStation Blog that the studio will be porting the game over to PlayStation 4 as a console exclusive.

Apart from its over-the-top and injury-specific gore (lovingly featured in the trailer below), what separates Loadout from the pack is the insane level of customization possible for weapons. Choosing from hundreds of components, you are able to craft weapons ranging from giant death rays to bouncing Tesla balls and beyond. We found it to be a surprisingly rich and well-crafted experience for free-to-play when we first got our hands on it at GDC 2013, which speaks to the care and fun that the Austin-based studio put into developing the game.

Loadout comes to the PlayStation Network later this year for free download.

One of the most useful PS5 features is backward compatibility with PS4 — allowing you to play your old games without needing to cling onto the aging hardware. That also means you can transfer your PS4 data to PS5, ensuring none of your adventures are forgotten when upgrading to the new-gen console.

But how exactly does this transfer process work? Here's everything you need to know about transferring data from PS4 to PS5.
