Be sure to upload your system settings before migrating, or you'll be left with empty hotbars and armory sets

Just to add for those people desperately trying to get a PS5 right now (which isn't happening for a lot of people this year), you won't be missing much graphically speaking. I know its been frustrating trying to buy one because of the chip shortage and lame scalpers, but for now everyone hang on for this year because there will be a better supply of PS5s next year and (hopefully) it will be the re-modeled version they were talking about which hopefully iron out some nasty bugs the launch version had.
