Ps4 Damaged, is my Apex data safe on a usb?

My PS4 has been damaged due to unplugging unexpectedly.

I uploaded my Apex save data to a usb and factory reset my PS4. Will my Apex data work when re uploaded? It's taking. a very long time to load into even the lobby, and while typing this, hasn't yet managed to do so. And if my PS4 isn't playable anymore, this may be a bonkers question but I'm kind of desperate, is there a slight possibility it might be able to work uploading through XBOX one?

Edit/update: I got it to load, it worked on PS4, but my PS4 is very damaged.

@XReddenX I am pretty sure the save data is both stored on your device as well as cloud, at least that's how it works on PC.

Hey, as noted, the data is stored on our servers, so Playstation-side progress won't be lost.

Unfortunately this isn't transferable to Xbox, if you start playing there you'll need to start fresh.

This may be relevant to you or not, but if you're planning on getting a PS5 when they release next month, Apex will play on that, if you want to continue your account there.

So I don't need the USB to get my progress back if I get my PS4 fixed or replaced? Sorry for the late reply.

@XReddenX As long as you use the same PSN account, your progress should be intact. As mentioned above, data is saved on their servers.

Hey @XReddenX

You just need to redownload Apex Legends again and you should be back up and running.
No need to use the USB, I assume you just saved the game files but it's wat easier to redownload the game. 😉
