Hey folks! I’m planning to finally snag a PS5, but I’ve got a quick question about my PS4. If I sign out of my account on the PS4 before selling it, can the new owner still see my Sign-in ID on the login screen? I want to make sure my account info is safe! Thanks!

To keep your account info private, you should definitely do a full factory reset on your PS4. This wipes all your data, including the Sign-in ID, so the new owner won’t have access to any of your info.
Congrats on the PS5 upgrade! Just make sure to reset your PS4 after you’ve transferred your data; this will keep everything secure for you.
My advice would be to first transfer all your data to the PS5 once you get it, then do a full reset of the PS4 before selling it. This way, you can be sure everything is clean and no one will get your private details.
Just like others said, performing a factory reset will completely remove your information from the PS4. If you don’t do this, your payment info and other data could still be stored.
