No data is streamed from the disc and each one is installed to your hard drive in the same way a digital game is. The only way to play games without a disc is to download games from the PlayStation store. Playing downloaded games is as simple as selecting a title from your list of games. Neither is superior in terms of graphics, performance frame rate , or resolution. The reason of this is simple — every PS4 game needs to be installed on the hard drive. This includes physical PS4 games. I tend to go physical when I can due to the ability to play indefinitely.
Physical games also tend to fall in price over time while digital titles often rely on PlayStation sales for savings. PS4 discs can also be resold or traded in to lower the cost of future game purchases. Random Random 75 1 1 silver badge 2 2 bronze badges. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. No, otherwise people would do this and then return or redistribute the discs.
Improve this answer. GnomeSlice GnomeSlice I thought most retailers do not accept opened discs as returns. Either way, downloading the game from disc would certainly be abused by many and thereby lower physical copy sales. ARich there's also PS4 game disc rental service somewhere out there. Actually yeah by 'return' I was making the assumption of a rental but I guess that business isn't as big as it used to be — GnomeSlice.
Could someone link me the a good Internal HDD? Can we have a partition? I use an 8tb external for backups but really only need well under 4tb. Can I partition it and use half for backups from pc and half for PS4?
What about Networked Attached Storage? Can I use same disk on another PS4 when I create my account there, so console can check I own content on it?
Why do I have to leave 50gb free on my internal hard drive in order to play games off my external hard drive? What a waste of space. I upgraded to a 1tb hdd while back,I still have my gb,so how do I attach it to use as an external drive? Does the system run slower, hang up or stutter when playing resource heavy games like Destiny and Horizon Zero Dawn? For fast paced games like BlackOps 4, MW and such, i would transfer all those games to system storage.
If I go to my friends house and I want to play a game that is on the usb will the game saves stay or do I have to start a new game? Settings — Application saved data management — Saved data in system storage — Upload to online storage. No, you need to connect the USB cable directly to your console, not through any external ports or extenders. And yes, it does work perfectly when I connect it to my PC. Googling this gives me a couple of results of people having the same problem with this particular HDD.
Does anybody have any ideas? Maybe my specific HDD will be added to the compatibility list in future. Well y dont you post what external devices work for the ps4 sony its your JOB to do that unless we use the wrong external device and our ps4 goes wrong then its your falt sony.
Hopefully have an answer for you soon! Rhys, thanks for trying to answer as many of the questions here as possible. I have a question that you may not know the answer to immediately but it would be great if you could find out and get back to me:.
Will it cause issues having games and their DLC on different drives? If I download new DLC for an old game should I manually copy the installed game to the external drive too, so that everything is on the same drive? Or is the PS4 able to cope with bits of the same game being spread across different media? What happens if I wanna upgrade to PS4 Pro? Can i move the games from my old PS4 to external hdd and then play them on my new console? I have many games and dont want to redownload the whole library.
Does it make any difference in terms of speed if you buy an external drive with seperate power source? I have found an old harddrive that i plugged into a USB3 enclosure and its currently formatting. So my friend is asking if its possible to copy my games to a hard drive then give it to him to where he can download the games on the hard drive, is this possible?
Can I move the games back to a ps4 from the external HDD? I assume so, but I have not seen that specific information. Are the 2 usb ports of my PS4 3. So the new games get installed on the new hard drive, but if you want to play an old game that is downloaded on the internal drive, will the PS4 automatically open it, using both drives, depending on where the games are saved? Or do you HAVE to move any game you still want to play to the new drive?
I just recently bought an 8tb hard drive to go with my ps4 pro, but the capacity shows 8. Anybody have ideas on how I can fix this without having to downgrade to a 6 or 7tb? Even while my HDD is being used? Since adding an external hard drive, disc based games that i had installed on the internal drive wont start.
Update: I tried moving two of the installed games to the external drive Horizon and Yakuza 0 but neither would run still. So far got Yakuza 0 running by deleting the data and reinstalling. Will I need to do this for all of my disk installed games or will this be patched?
So today i bought a seagate 3. I plugges it in and formatted it. GameStop mostly sells PlayStation 2 PS2 games that can be found on separate shelves at the store or by accessing the PlayStation 2 section of the GameStop website using the following method.
