Why does my downloads start automatically ps4

You will need the PlayStation app (on App Store or play store to download obviously). Just open the app- go to the store- download the game you want and it will start downloading on your PS4 as long as you have internet connection on your phone but it will not work if your PS4 is off, it has to be either on or on low power mode.  · I have my PS4 set to NOT download any system updates at all. Yes every single time I power it up, the latest update begins downloading automatically. It does not install (thankfully) so I can just delete it, but why does it keep doing this? In addition, I have numerous installed games that have updates downloaded and pending instal. Go to Settings System Software Update. Update PS4 system software. Check you have enough storage space for your game. To find the required free space for the game, go to PlayStation Store on your console, select the game and scroll down to the Details section. The minimum free space appears on the right of the screen.

As long as my PS4 is in rest mode overnight, all system updates and game updates will download around am EST. There are times I'll get home from work later in the afternoon and when I boot up the PS4 it will show updates that downloaded at 5am that morning. Accepted Solution. The solution is to delete the game completely from your PS4, and start the download again. Once the PS4 adds the " update file " to your download list, stop the download by deleting the update file. Let the other file download and install. Start the game, and play through the tutorial and then quit the game and THEN download. Answer (1 of 3): It bugged me out too at first but upon some serious monitoring and looking at my screen I figured it doesn't actually "restart" the whole download. What happens is that the system actually "installs" the downloaded files when the download gets paused/resumed which causes the dow.

I have PS4 discs for Borderlands 3 and Maneater. I’ve installed the PS5 upgrade. In order to play the PS5 upgrade, you need the PS4 disc in the system. Unfortunately, my system will randomly decide it’s time to install a PS4 version of the game when the disc is in the system. I’d mind less if they weren’t taking. When I download from my phone to the PS4 it always works. But when I pre order a game it never auto downloads. My problem usually is that I actually have to manually start the download, even if it says it will auto-download. Also, if there is a day one patch, I actually have to be logged in to have it update.
