Ps4 randomly downloading games

I am surprised the PS5 doesn't have this option. DarrenM Member. Oct 28, 1, This sounds really annoying, especially with how limited space is.

Hopefully the fix is rolled out quick. Karlinel Prophet of Truth Member. Nov 10, 5, Mallorca, Spain. I thought this happened with all games, wrc9 had 2 games and took me 3 days to realize one was the ps4 version Azurik Attempted to circumvent ban with alt account Banned.

Dec 13, 4, The unfollow product did not work for me with borderlands 3 physical version , for whatever reason the PS5 still wants to install the game from the disk, after every restart.

But the unfollow product is the same for both versions. TCG Member. Dec 17, Rat King Member. Oct 27, 3, Portugal. I have Borderlands 3 on disc too and this type of stuff has preventing me from trying out the next gen version. Hope they address this rather sooner than later. Oct 27, 1, I had this issue with my AC Valhalla. I got "around" this problem by setting my PS5 to install PS4 games to the external drive and making sure my external drive doesn't have enough free space to install the PS4 version of Valhalla.

It is a really dumb work around but this is the only cross-gen game I currently own so well, it works for now. I just get an error message each time I boot my PS5 with the disc saying there's not enough space. Thug Larz Designer Bungie Verified. TCG said:. Thug Larz said:. Yep, this is happening to me too. I bought it digitally, and got about halfway through the initial download on my PS5 when I realized it was downloading the PS4 files. I stopped the download, deleted the files, and then set the version to PS5 to re-download.

This worked, but the game icon sitting in my Home Screen will switch over to the PS4 version and ask me to download it pretty frequently, even though the PS5 version is already on my system. It is annoying for sure. You would think they would have put more thought into it before launch but oh well.

I'm sure they will update it later. Did you try to download it the first time it happened, thinking it might be a patch, only to realize it was downloading the PS4 version of the game? I did lol. Oct 25, 7, I was going to post and say I don't have this problem with Dirt 5, but then I checked and both versions were installed. I'll try the unfollow method. CQC Member. Oct 25, How can you tell which version you have installed?

What a dumb issue lol. CQC said:. Carn Member. Oct 27, 7, The Netherlands. Oct 25, 9, I think I read that you can now delete those, but it's tiresome.

I've seen an error where any game you open tries to force an update. I prefer being offline to prevent those sorts of mistakes. OK so then none of what you're talking about is applicable to me since I don't have an exploited system, right? But until an exploit comes for post 6. Fingers crossed that we maybe see one this year. Yeah I'm going to wait for a proper full CFW jailbreak. I'm sure it's only a matter of time and I'm willing to not upgrade for a while longer. Wishing I hadn't gone beyond 5.

I almost didn't but then a friend really wanted to play a game together so I updated to 6. Maybe I'll get to a point where I can buy a second PS4 to keep updated, but at the moment money does not permit that. I wouldn't be so sure, but I admire Your optimism. Anyway, You can blacklists update servers on router to permanently kill online updates well, technically until they add new upd servers.
