I found the article confusing. 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.
