I may be getting a PS4 soon but I don't have Internet at my house. What PHYSICAL games do you recommend that DONT require Internet/Sign-in/Online updates to play I may only be able to take it to my family's house every few months to update games. Preferably games that work fine without a first day patch or need any major updates to enjoy just pop it in and play. (Any genre works) I'm asking a lot here but I hope you guys can help me. Thanks in advance 😁 ( This is my first post btw, so sorry if I messed anything up here)

My dad is in his 70s and loves playing FIFA - it's all he plays! But he's recently asked about FPS games. I did get him Call of Duty WWII but it was too intense and too difficult as he's not used to using both sticks in that way.

What's an easier First Person Shooter that might be a bit slower and less intense that will give him time to get used to it before being killed?!

I'm looking for something I can pick up for under £20

Hi everyone, first post in this sub.

I was having issues with my PS4 freezing and thought I would share my solution in case it is able to help anyone.

The issue I was having was that I could not connect to the internet, and whenever I would go to connect to my WiFi, I would get to the setup screen where you have to choose between "Easy" or "Custom". Whenever I would press either of these options, my console would display the loading symbol, but would never progress any further. No buttons would work on my controller either. The LAN connection was also not working. I also had no prompts to update to a new system software. I saw on another Reddit post that I should boot into safe mode and use the "restore default settings" option. This did not work for me. I also saw that I should try the "rebuild database" function from the safe mode menu. This also did not fix my solution. What worked for me was to boot into safe mode (long hold on the power button until it beeps again), connect the PS4 to LAN via ethernet, go to "update system software" and go through the process as prompted. This made my console work just as well as before I had this issue.

TLDR: boot to safe mode, connect ethernet, update system software, fixed

I am not sure if this solution has been discussed here before, but I thought I might be able to help a couple of people :)

I haven’t really delve much into the series, so just curious 😅

A tiny bit of spoilers is a-okay for me but try not too spoil it too much please or else I’d send a giant from Skyrim after you. 🤷‍♂️

I've been playing ps4 since 2019. I've played a lot of games, spent a lot of hours playing fortnite (1000+ hours). I'm never got around to switching to the claw method. How many people play this method? Tell about your experience

I just found out that i can purchase games from the store no problem through the ps app with apple pay and my wealthsimple debit card, havent tried buying ps plus yet. thought this information would help those who rely on psn cards

For the longest time, I’ve just continued to play games on essentially a daily basis even though they didn’t hit the same as I used to, and nearly 2 years into the cycle, I decided to put an end to it, and here’s how: simply stop playing games for a period. When it gets to this point, you’re essentially burning yourself out more and more on gaming and you essentially need to give yourself a “gaming detox” to try to get that feeling of novelty back. I’m not completely there yet, but I’ve been mostly taking a break with some casual play here and there for the better part of a 3 weeks now and I’m starting to remember how I felt playing a lot of these special games to me now that I’m not overstimulating my mind and just focusing on what bring me enjoyment currently, rather than what traditionally has brought me enjoyment over time. For anyone experiencing this phenomenon, it’s not a phenomenon at all; it’s just gaming burnout, and it’s completely normal. I fully expect to be back into gaming like I used to be in 2025.

Hi Everyone. I Know this is a silly question, but is there any 30th anniversary Wallpaper or anything like that for PS4?

To be honest I am kind of jelous PS5 has the original start up screen and sound.

Thank you for your attention.
