Never one to miss out on an opportunity to rain on the competition’s parade, DICE has confirmed that you’ll be able to transfer your Battlefield 4 multiplayer progress from the PlayStation 3 to the PlayStation 4 – just like in Call of Duty: Ghosts. A strategically timed PlayStation Blog post revealed the news earlier today, mere moments after Infinity Ward’s big multiplayer unveiling.
In truth, this makes more sense than kindergarten mathematics. Sony’s next generation system is likely to be in limited supply this Christmas, so it would be a real kick in the teeth if you had to start from scratch once you finally got your fingertips on the hotly anticipated console. All of your stats and weapon unlocks will transfer, as will your Battlefield Premium membership if you’ve bought one.
More details on the subscription service are expected at GamesCom, as well as the skinny on a brand new multiplayer mode and map. You’ll be able to learn more about that during EA's press conference on the 20th August. In the meantime, keep dreaming of those 64-player battles. The next generation is finally upon us, folks.

I've been developing an interest in this game for a while, but with Shadow Fall and Planetside 2 already in my sights, I'm not prepared to acquire a 3rd shooter too soon.
I'll wait a month or so before I decide to go out and pick it up.
I hope more devs will do this, be able to transfer your stats etc to the next gen consoles.
@Clamedeus I'm expecting Bungie and Ubisoft to announce the same thing for Destiny, Watch Dogs and AC4: BF sometime tomorrow.
@Lelouch Indeed, I'm looking forward to Destiny game looks good.
@Lelouch ain't Planetside 2 free like on PC? Could be wrong.
Well I don't wanna pay 1/3-ish of the new console's price just for the sake game. Idk man. I'll just wait for the PS4 one
@charlesnarles Yeah, it is. PlanetSide 2 will also be free on PS4.
While this is good, im not forking out money to buy the same game twice, especially since the next gent version will be dearer
This is good news for sure for all who intend to buy both versions...although I also plan to just buy the PS4 version...there's just not a single cross-gen game that interests me enough to fork out money twice.
