Download vs disc ps4

 · OVR: 0. Join Date: Mar Digital Download vs Disc. I have two PS4's in two different rooms. If i buy the digital download of the game will i be able to play it on both systems as long as i am logged in under my Playstation Plus user? I have read that the game plays smoother if it is downloaded vs the disc version. Downloaded game is stored in HDD and SATA connection (ps4 uses sata 3) is way faster than optical disc (bluray) transfer rate. But PS4 physical disc usually install lots of data into the HDD (some games copy entire disc into hdd), so in the end, it's more or less the same (it takes a while to install but downloading whole disc from internet could be longer).  · With Sony’s reveal of two different versions of the PlayStation 5, one with a disc drive and one without, it seems like the amount of people swapping to digital over physical might just increase.

The system barely makes a noise, it's super fast to change to another game, loading times are faster and I get them all on sales. And I hope buying digital will mean I can download those games again in the future for PS5 maybe. I hope. Press and hold the PlayStation button on your controller. 2. Select "Turn Off PS4". 3. Let the PlayStation 4 to fully power down and wait for 10 to 20 seconds. I'd prefer unplugging your PS4 from the power cord and waiting for a solid minute to make sure. 4. Restart your PS4. Now try installing the game again.

The Hybrid Path. There’s another, more strategic class of PS4 gamer that buys certain games as discs and others as digital versions. A longer, more complex game that takes dozens of hours works better as a digital purchase. Its replay value is high, and the experience is ongoing, so the hybrid gamer prefers to keep it as a digital copy. - long download times before you play the game - once you buy it your stuck with it (specially with playstation owners) - once you delete it to save space got to redownload it again. So for me, I prefer not going all digital again this gen and still prefer physical copies, thats why im buying the standard ps5 with disc.
