Can you install ps4 games from disc to hard drive?

Why do ps4 games have to copy?

Why do games take so long to install on PS4?

Download speed is just related to your internet bandwidth. PS4 and Sony can’t determine how fast it downloads, it just depends on the level of internet you pay for. Most PS4 games are at least 20 GB which is a large amount of data, so if you can’t download a large amount of data at once (band width) it will be slow.

Why does PlayStation copy take so long?

You’ve probably already worked this one out or at least had a good idea of why it happens, but the reason it can take such a long time to copy an update over is all down to the size of your game. So, in essence, the larger the game size, the longer it’s going to take for your PS4 to complete the copying procedure.

Does putting your PS4 in rest mode make copying faster?

Yes. They will continue to copy in rest mode. I’ve tested it myself. It will also move a little faster in rest mode if you ask me.
