This article will guide you on how to hold more storage on your PS4 and keep playing your favorite games without running out of room.
Using a USB Storage Device
One simple way to add more storage to your PS4 is by using a USB storage device, such as a flash drive or an external hard drive. You can use any USB storage device that is compatible with the PS4, as long as it meets the following conditions:
- The first time you use a USB storage device, you’ll need to format it.
To do this, follow these steps:
- Connect your USB storage device to the PS4 using a USB cable.
- Go to the Settings menu, then select Devices.

Once the device is formatted, you can use it to download and install games, DLC, and demos. Make sure to backup your saves regularly to ensure you don’t lose your progress!
Upgrading Your PS4’s Storage
Another option is to upgrade your PS4’s internal hard drive. Here’s what you need to do:
- Go to the Settings menu and select System.
- Select "System Storage" and then "Format Additional Storage" (if applicable).
- Select "Upgrade PS4 System" and then "Continue."
- Follow the prompts to insert your new hard drive (if you haven’t done so already) and reboot your PS4.
