GT5 sold more on a console that had a smaller install base. You need to stop biting that hand. Why you spreading wrong informations? The worst sales by far has GT6. Because everyone had moved on to PS4 when GT6 came out. Only the hardcore fans like me were left to support it. Had they bothered to port over GT6 to PS4 by mid , it would have sold gang busters. GT7, instead of Sport, would have easily sold 15 million had they bothered to make us that game.
Instead they went with a crappy online focused mess with 13 tracks. If so, they can release it at the same time as the PC port. Which will also most likely come because of their infinite greed. I want to know if we still not get dynamic time of day in PS5 Version because of cross Gen support!! The wording used here sounds already awfully like presets like we have in GT Sport!
GT 7 being held back to such an extent would not only be a shame for the game and franchise but also a hard slap in the face of PS5 Users and the whole Playstation community. We made you what you are to today! Every Game to be relseased could generate more money if also shipping for PS4. I call it here: We will in still have cross gen releases.
At first we thought backwarts compatibly would be good for us — in the end it is only good for moneythirsty suit wearing managers who dont have any gaming intrest or any clue how technology can make things look better.
I would give BC up right here right now if i could have Games that define this Generation and not games that look like upresed versions of PS4 Games..
The Hell with you Guys!! PS5 version will likely be higher resolution. Why would they not shoot for 60FPS on both consoles? I am purchasing this, the virtual reality seemed the essential with GT sport, is this needed with seven?
So the only way it will is some possible patch later. Kind of how MS has Forza as the sim and Horizon as the arcade-style titles. No, Phony just screwed up with the mostly-online GT6. They thought they knew their fanbase. They should never think they know their fanbase. It still looks very much like Gran Turismo and that is fine. That a car crash actually, realistically, finally, looked like one…. What kind of logic is that? It would b greatly appreciated by us GT fans if there was one.
No, you took a PS5 exclusive, and butchered and downgraded to cater to inferior last generation hardware. PLZ Polyphony i need custom wheel rotation setting in gt7 in game menu. Looking forward to a PS5 native Gran Turismo!
Horizon Feb 18 and two weeks later GT on Mar 4? I would think GT releasing in April or May would be just fine. Not to mention GTA5 PS5 version now set for March and even though it is a free upgrade that is a lot of great titles all jammed together. Perhaps there are other surprises for later in the year but kind of perplexing at the moment. Every feature requires internet! Why do things like the campaign require internet? How many times in a row are you going to pull this?
No interest, pass. No game. That would be absolutely tragic. This goes beyond the primary issue of a connection and much more into the concern of preservation of games. I restarted the PS4 again and this time, it didnt recognized it anymore. The little blue light is not coming up anymore, although it feels that the drive is working if I touch it.
The light doesnt come up in the PC anymore either. Any thoughts? Hi Rob. We need to perform several tests in order to identify the problem. Do you see your external hard drive there? If you can find it there, the problem is easy to fix. The file system is just corrupted and you need to perform a FULL format not quick in order to fix this problem. I still have several things for you to try. Hi, I need some advise please. My son took my external HDD Lenovo 3. As you can imagine, I got my external hard drive back and now I cannot access my files from a PC.
Is there a way I can save my data, before doing a full format? You get a data recovery software to recover all your lost data. This article might help you find a good FREE data recovery software that might help.
Hi, so my 1TB external storage randomly stopped working. Also when I go to volumes nothing shoes up about the capacity etc. Then I pressed populate and now my extended storage is beeping like crazy. Can you check again your external hard drive on your PC? Tell me whether it shows up there or not. I got it to work last night, formatted the storage, then tried downloading 2 games. One of them kept freezing, so I decided to try and delete the game.
But my whole system would freeze. My system tells me to format the extended storage, when I go to do so. The FULL format would override the bad sectors and make your hard drive usable again. Try implementing the tip illustrated in my previous comment to you. Hope this would fix your problem. Try to turn off your PS4 completely shut down , unplug the power cable of PS4, and finally connect the external hard drive via the other USB port. Make sure you connect it tightly and the USB connector is fully crammed inside the port.
Make sure also the second end of the cable is properly fixed into your external hard drive USB port. Now restart your PS4 while the external hard drive is connected to it.
Does it resolve your problem? Either a faulty drive or a faulty USB cable. Connect it to a PC and check whether it works or not. Restart the ps4 normally, reformat the expanded drive, delete any notifications on the update and then continue to redownload latest update.
If this doesnt work go to safe mode by holding down the power button then select rebuild database and go from there. Most likely doesnt have anything to do with the harddrive the ps4 system tends to mess up in the middle of its updates.
I have just bought a Seagate 2tb hdd and I got it formatted and loaded games on it, started playing red dead redemption 2 and after a few hours my ps4 froze up and I held down the power button until it reset and not it tells me my hdd needs to be repaired, I have tried numerous times to repair it and it worked one time so I tried to move my games off of it and the ps4 started moving the game then it said it stopped and I got a message saying it was disconnected improperly.
I plugged the hdd into my laptop and it works fine, but when I click on properties I can find the tool tab to run the error check. I need help. Download SeaTools to fix any error in your Seagate external hard drive. It can immensely help in your situation. I have the Seagate 5TB external hard drive. One night i was playing my game when my cat ran by and accidentally disconnected my cable that connects to the USB.
Connecting it to my computer though WILL recognize it. I have a friend hopefully coming over tomorrow with his PlayStation so I can try connecting to his console. Try to connect your external hard drive to the other port and see whether it works or not. If not, turn off PS4 and remove the power cable from its socket. Wait 30 seconds, connect your external hard drive to your other USB port, and connect your PS4 power cable plug to its socket again. Now, turn on PS4 and see whether it recognizes it or not.
Download SeaTools and install it on your PC, then perform a full maintenance on your external hard drive. Hope this will eventually fix the problem. Plus it has its own drawbacks that hold back many users from authorizing it as their first option.
Pull it out from the external enclosure and connect it to a PC. My seagate ps4 game drive 2tb is not getting recognized when I plug it into my PlayStation.
The light will not turn on either on the gamedrive. My computer will detect it but not my PlayStation. You either need to update the PS4 system software to the latest version, rebuild your PS4 database, or just reset it to factory settings. If it does, come back to me and I will provide you with solutions. My sons 2tb Seagate external drive stop working. I just bought it like 2 months ago, I will go tomorrow to game stop and see it I can get a new one…..
Just do that and tell me if it works or not. I was wondering if this product even works on the ps4 and if not what product will. Should I return it and buy the same hard drive?
Is it a defective drive? Yes I am. Just read the reviews on that drive on Amazon and see how many guys said it worked well for them on PS4. Probably a long shot but here we go. Turned out to be a bad PCB Board. I replaced the board and plugged it in to my laptop. Now, tested it on MY PS4. Works just fine on my PS4, got the error message that it was disconnected properly from the system and blah blah blah.
Repaired it on my PS4 and it works just fine on my PS4. Okay, restart, nothing. Full power down, nothing. Now, even if you buy a new external hard drive from the same brand and model, it will still NOT recognize it for that reason. This happens sometimes due to some hidden errors in operating systems.
What you can do about that is to reset PS4 system to factory settings. I think this will work. I cannot assure you that, but most probably NOT. O tried restart and reconecting but nothing works.
Can you please send us some screen shots of the messages you get on your PS4 so we can better help you. Firstly I wanna thank you for the comprehensive information posted here! I have came across many comments to which you mentioned that leaving the extended hdd plugged in may lead to electric shock and deem the hdd unreadable.
I would like to know if I have to safely disconnect the extended hdd every single time before turning the ps4 off or can I leave the extended hdd plugged in? Is this advisable? Or would it be safer to just safely unplug it when i am done gaming? My concern is 1. Thanks for your nice compliment, I appreciate it.
This will do the job perfectly and maintain your external HDD lifespan. Just like computers, the power supply may mistakenly send a high voltage electric shock to the USB ports once the system boots up. Although this is rare, but it happened to a few guys who lost their external hard drives. Though, you have made a valid point here concerning spoiling the USB ports.
They are shockproof devices that you can fully trust here. Either your PS4 system needs to be reset to factory settings, or you need to update PS4 system software to the latest version, or your hard drive has bad sectors and needs to be fully formatted on PC. My 2TB external hard drive was stolen , I had 2 games on it.
I bought another external hard drive reformatted it. On the the game I play it gives me the message. To start app. Connect extended storage device it is installed on. I can see my weapons and gear on my phone app. Just went let me play the game. If your game saves are still available, you can easily fix that problem by re-installing those games on a new external hard drive. Mine will not even light up when it is plugged in. The PS4 shows no indication that it is even connected.
Any tips? So my drive, like others, worked for a long time then suddenly stopped being recognized today. Is there anything I can do now besides getting a new drive? I also am not comfortable with trying to rebuild my PS4 database nor do I wish to reset to factory settings. I can always just redownload m games as all my save game management is saved to my system storage.
Just wondering if I had any other options you may know about? Please check this article to learn how to properly format your external hard drive on Windows. Again, thanks for the help and responses! Have a look on this post. Please I need help with my external hard drive. Please connect it to a PC and check whether your PC recognizes it or not. If your PC recognizes it, come back to us and I will walk you through different methods to fix that issue.
Please help me fix this. I did already plug it in to a PC and the PC confirmed that the drive was working just fine. It seems your PS4 system needs to be reset to its factory settings, as it undergoes some internal conflicts.
Make sure to take a copy of your game saves and all other files that you can back up, then perform the factory setting reset. Once the process is complete, turn off PS4, connect your external hard drive, plug the external hard drive into PS4 and finally turn on PS4 while the external hard drive is connected. So my new external hd has been in for only a week. Hardly enough time to get all my games on it and my ps quits out on me by not shutting down properly and making me eventually have to hold reset and power just to get it to shut off.
Finally the next day i turn it back on and of course… You guessed it. I must repair my ext. Hd to use. So i read this… Nobody had any valid info so i chose to turn off my ps4 correctly again and then turned it back on. This time it says it is repairing my hd. It did and the games still had the exclamation marks on them so i tried one anyway… It took a minite but it played so atleast that is a positive note. No unplugging of any sort was needed and believe me… If i had to reformat and redownload all the games again i would not do it.
Because this will happen again. It is a better bet to just get an 8tb internal if possible… Is it? Or is 2tb max? Anybody know because i might still go that rout in the future. My ps does that stupid sheet all the time and its a brand new pro so wtf. Lucky me i guess… And yes… First i bought the seagate 8tb hd plus hub but was able to return it to staples for full refund even after opened so this isnt my first visit through here to read all of these so i hope this helps someone.
Have a great and wonderful day everyone! Thank you Brandon for telling us your experience that might help someone here having the same problem. Expanding the PS4 storage by upgrading the internal hard drive is a more reliable solution than going for external hard drives. If you have a PS4 Pro, the maximum compatible internal hard drive available is 2tb. If you like an SSD, the maximum size is 4tb, but it is way too expensive.
Hey, great and insightful forum! However, when I try to format it as extended storage, I get the error code CE Any suggestions?
That means the format feature of the PS4 system is not working properly. You can verify that by trying to format another external hard drive if possible. If the same message comes up, it means you either need to rebuild PS4 database to fix that error or fix the PS4 internal hard drive.
You can do that either by directly connecting it via SATA cable, or just buy an external hard drive enclosure and connect it externally to a PC. I have a 8TB WD external hard drive that I am trying to connect to watch media through the media player, but the PS4 will only recognise the smallest portion on the hard drive that can not be erased.
How do I get it to recognise the data I have stored on there? Or is the hard drive not supported for PS4? If it is possible to connect your external hard drive to another PS4 to check whether it works there or not.
Most probably it will work fine. The latter will delete all stored data on your internal hard drive, so be careful and take a backup. I see now what your problem is. You have a NAS external hard drive, not a regular one.
Have majority of my games installed on it. Just recently my PS4 stopped recognizing it. Just says there is no storage device connected. The light on the hard drive works. Have you tried it first on a PC and check whether it works or not? In most cases this will fix that error. I will try on my pc and see if I can find another PS4.
I will get back to you with my findings. Thanks in advance! This will help many people who encounter the same problem. So it would appear that my computer reads the External Drive just fine. I cant access anything obviously because of the formatting the PS4 did prior.
I have to re-initialize the PS4 itself now? After reinitializing, head directly to update the system to the latest version before trying to use the external hard drive. Just wanted to update. Reinitializing my PS4 has worked and gotten the system to read my hard drive again. Thanks again for all your help! May your experience help someone with the same case. Thanks to you as well.
Usually reinitializing PS4 can totally resolve that problem. If I format it on laptop will that format it to use on PS4? Maybe my lads dropped it and not saying so it is broke. BUT, even though it cannot be opened without a format, other systems Windows for example would recognize the drive and show its icon.
If you happen to format the external hard drive on your MAC, probably it will work again on PS4, you can give it a try. Otherwise, the best test you can do is to connect it to another PS4 if possible and check whether it works there or not.
If it does, then you have to factory reset the PS4. If verified, you have to perform a FULL format to eliminate any potential bad sectors that cause this issue. I am sorry to say that if your external hard drive works fine on a PC, some conflicts are occurring within the PS4 system that prevent it from recognizing the external hard drive. After successfully accomplishing this operation, you have to directly update to the latest system software.
Probably bad sectors. You have to check that on a PC. Additionally, you can further test your external hard drive by connecting it to another PS4 if possible and check whether it works fine or not.
This will dramatically help you determine the real cause of the problem. Hi, I have recently bought a 2TB external hard drive to use as extended storage but my PS4 will not recognise it, it is currently formatted the FAT32 and has been previously formatted to exfat both have been full formats but the PS4 will not recognise the HDD.
Should I reinitialise the PS4 if so will this wipe all the data I have?? Firstly, check whether this external hard drive works properly or not by connecting it to a PC. If it works, then your PS4 needs reinitialization. And yes, reinitializing your PS4 will wipe all stored data. So make sure to take a backup before carrying out that process. Please help.. Thanks in advanced!! Most probably your external hard drive is suffering from bad sectors.
You can check it on DOS mode, if this problem persists, then your external hard drive needs replacement. The drive is working perfectly well, I checked on my pc and PS3. Could you please enlighten me on what the problem is? Usually this issue is caused by application conflicts within PS4 system.
This will most probably resolve this problem. My ps4 all of a sudden wont recognize my Seagate 2tb external hard drive. Your external hard drive is suffering from a serious deficiency. You better consider a quick replacement for it. The best solution is to reinitialize the PS4 and reinstall the system software.
You can only if it works. You will need then a disk clone software to back up your data. I am always running out of storage space on my PS4, which means I have to either delete unused apps or saved screenplay videos in order to update apps. Do you know why it would say so much less than my laptop does? Or how I can fix this? Once again, all I want is to extract my saved capture gallery videos to create more space.
The only way to resolve this is by formatting the external hard drive. HDD was formatted with a mb partition. I had to connect to my MacBook, remove the partition through Terminal it was pretty simple; followed a youtube video , and then when I reconnected it to my ps4, the ps4 formatted it to ExFat in about. Best, Colton. Thanks for telling us about your experience. I truly appreciate that. May this help someone resolve their problem. As for the first console on which you were originally playing the game, the PS4 system learned that the game files were on an external storage, and when you try to play the same game from the disc, it will keep requiring the external storage on which the game was installed.
What you can do is to uninstall the game from your PS4 then reinstall it from the Disc. This should resolve this issue on the first PS4. As for the second console, PS4 system prevents fully copying a game to another console with the same license. You will always need the original external hard drive to play the game, or just buy a new license.
Got a 6Tb seagate usb3 external. I have tried restarting the ps with external plug in and nothing. I have tried reformating from pc and tried ito in the ps and still nothing. Can some one please tell me what next. A friend has the same external and has no problems. Hey anyone who has a 2. Never heard about this tip before. Thanks for sharing. May someone benefit from it. Hey had bought a seagate usb 2.
Will this really solve my problem? Also if I do format it this way, what should be the allocation size? How much time will it take to actually do this for 1TB? Is there any other way which is faster? I have done chkdsk healthy drive , looked for bad sectors none found , formatted it with command prompt to exFAT quick , right clicked on drive and then formatted it. After formatting it with cmd, exFAT option appeared.
Clicked options button and then formatted it again to exFAT only to fail. Used tape to cover the middle two USB pins to force 3.
Failed again as PS4 never reads the drive and light on external drive blinks slowly. What should I do? I think you should know it is not a new drive, I used to store my data on this before, I deleted all the useless stuff and moved the worthy stuff to my other GB Seagate Expansion Drive external and have performed all this on this Seagate external drive too.
Guess what? There are a lot of questions in my post, please answer all. Additionally, if you need more details on the specifications of the PS4 internal hard drive, please visit this page. The fastest-in-history ever. You get blazing fast speed that you could never imagine a storage device can have. A solid-state drive SSD is a new generation of storage device used in computers and recently in game consoles.
SSDs replace traditional mechanical hard drives HDD by using flash-based memory, which is significantly faster. Older hard-disk storage technologies run slower, which often makes your PS4 run slower than it should.
SSDs speed up PS4s significantly due to their low read-access times and fast throughputs. Additionally, solid-state drives are much more reliable and durable than traditional HDDs.
That means you will avoid many performance issues that occur to HDD users. The type of this storage device is just like the one inside your PS4.
Yes, having a modern hard drive offers slightly better speed, larger capacity and higher reliability. But not that tangible when it comes to performance. A hard disk drive or a hard drive is a data storage device that uses magnetic recording to store and retrieve digital information. Unlike a solid-state drive SDD that uses non-moving interconnected flash memories, a hard disk drive HDD is essentially composed of a metal platter with magnetic coating.
This coating stores the data. A paired magnetic head reads and writes data on this coating while the platter spins. Thus users have to expect varied performance issues with it. For that reason the PS4 hard drive begins to fail after few months of use. Also, now you can understand why PS4 becomes slow and starts to lag. This is often caused by a faulty hard drive. All of that is because the movable mechanical parts of an HDD make it physically vulnerable to mechanical damages due to drops and shudder.
For example, the close spacing between the read head and the metallic platter makes HDD prone to scrapes across the platter as the head grinds the thin magnetic coating. For that reason HDDs are more prone to integrity failure or data loss and overall device corruption. You can use them as external hard drives instead. This is an innovative solution meant to be a compromise between speed, capacity and price.
Solid state hybrid drives, or SSHDs, are a blending of the traditional hard drive and the new solid state drive technologies. This is a new marketing term that was coined by Seagate to essentially label what had previously been referred to as hybrid hard drives.
This new term can lead to confusion in the market as buyers can mistake these for full solid-state drives referred to as SSDs. The drive appears as a single device to PS4 system, and the SSD part is just used for temporary storage to speed things up: your data is stored long-term on the mechanical disks. Basically, if you want lots of storage at a reasonable price, an SSHD is a good choice.
As for enthusiasts and power users, an SSD is the priority. Generally, if you want the highest overall performance, buy an SSD. If you want the biggest amount of storage, buy an SSHD. If you want to spend the absolute minimum amount of money, buy neither — go for a traditional hard drive. Please have a look for more details.
Be sure that all the PS4 hard drive replacements included in our list are fully compatible with all models of PS4. But eventually, you have to learn how to pick a PS4 compatible hard drive in case you want to make your own research. These standards are specified by Sony.

Furthermore, you can read this quick comparison between PS4 external HDD vs internal to find out the pros and cons of each option. Although I have abridged the way for you and other readers and laid out the top 4 hard drive replacement options for PS4 , you can still do that your own.
You only need to understand how this selection is done and based on what standards. Otherwise, go for an SSHD, it offers a very decent performance boost with up to 2tb storage capacity. Secondly, what do you not like in the PS4 stock hard drive? Is it its limited capacity? Or maybe both? If you are content with the performance of the stock hard drive of PS4, yet you want additional storage space, you better go for a PS4 external hard drive.
Otherwise, upgrading the internal HDD of PS4 offers a significant performance boost and a smoother gaming experience. You can dive into more details on how to choose the best hard drive for PS4 by reading this post. But generally, here are the basic standards that will help you find the right hard drive for your PS4. It needs to be formatted using FAT32 or exFAT, and if you want to back up a full drive, the external drive should have at least the same capacity as the internal drive.

Any ideas how to format the seagate firecuda to Fat32 on a windows10 PC? Just insert it inside PS4, and PS4 system will format it automatically with the relevant file system. I really liked this article.
Thanks Yes I am in the middle of all the confusion too. Yes I am also trying to increase the space of my PS4 but I am confused whether I should put internal or external hard drive. I have a PS VR and I really download a lot of digital free games coming up as you can see in you have lot of free games warface etc. If this is your case, I strongly advise you to upgrade your internal hard drive with Western Digital 4tb Performance Black with the help of the so-called Data Bank.
But believe me, for your case it is the best option for the price. In many cases that caused serious defects to the external hard drive or to the USB port itself. If you find it expensive, then go for the internal hard drive upgrade solution. You better opt for desktop external hard drive.
It depends on how you identify yourself. Or just a casual or regular user? If you consider yourself in the first class, then you MUST upgrade the internal hard drive.
To edit in-game controller settings, press the PS button on the center of the controller. From the resulting screen, you can map specific keyboard actions to your controller buttons.
Most modern games should display the appropriate PlayStation button configuration, but some older games may display an Xbox controller instead. Nonetheless, you should be able to figure out the button mapping and use your PS4 controller with no issues.
When you're finished playing, you should manually power down the controller. Simply hold down the PS button for seconds. In addition to playing games, you can use your PS4 controller to navigate the Steam platform. For example, you can use the joysticks as a mouse and even enable the controller's trackpad. Open Steam in Big Picture Mode.
You can select the Big Picture icon in the top right corner of the Steam client, or you can simply press the PS button. Select the settings icon in the top right corner.
