How to cahnge location on ps4 for download

You must be logged in to post a comment. None of which show up under library BTW. Thanks for the info on where to find out what the ps4 is doing. Downloading status is crucial, what idiot designed downloading and updating to be hidden.

Fukng morons. Wasted 2 hours not knowing what ps4 was doing! News Hitman 3 Year 2 content coming 23 Nov 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. I then installed about 30 disc copy games i had deleted of my internal hd awhile ago to save space. My game saves were still there. However, when i load the games ive re installed onto my new external hard drive i cant access any of my saves. Ive platinumed some of these games and id like to pick up where i have left off.

When i launch the games though it shows no gake saves and i have to start back at square one. Please help. If I download and install my games on to the external hard drive, can I play them directly from it? Or do I have to transfer them to the internal hard drive first?

Please advise. Thanks in advance! Projects, music, homework. Things of such? You must be logged in to post a comment.

Minimum HDD spec The most important thing to remember before you buy a new storage device — or try to use one you already own — is to make sure it meets the minimum requirements for use with your PS4: Connection : USB 3.

Scroll down to the Devices menu. Moving games and apps onto your external HDD device If you want to organise the games and apps that are currently installed on your PS4 internal storage, you can easily move them over to the external storage device: Go to the Settings menu from your PS4 home screen. Choose which games and apps you want to move by ticking the boxes that appear next to their names. You can select as many as you like, providing your external HDD has enough free space to store them.

Anything else? This is easy, because Sony lets you create up to 16 user accounts on a single PS4 console. You probably know what to do already. Also, fill in other details like your preferred language and date of birth. You need to enter your Postal Code now. Depending on the region you choose, you can just type any postal code of that region. A simple Google search would suffice. After this, you will taken to multiple Privacy Control pages, where you can completely customize who can view certain details like achievements, activities, game list on your PSN account.

You will receive a verification mail from Sony to that e-mail address. You can check out our list of the best VPN services. But, is that the only way? No, of course not. With a new PSN account attached to a different region, you can get access to all the region exclusive apps on the store.
