Thanks!

If you have PS+ you should have access to cloud saves, so it should technically just be available when you login to the new PS4.
If that's not enabled yet for some reason, here's how to enable it: https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/get-h ... station-4/

So when i start setting up the new system, should i use the same existing account name/password?

• Current PS4: Your current account that you use will be set as the "primary" account on this PS4 (which might already be the case now). You can then add your son's account as well.
• New PS4: Your son's PS4 account will be set as the "primary" account on this PS4. You can then log in as your own account on this one.
