    NOPE. :smileyindifferent:

  • Ok thank u man
  • You can if you purchase the games through the PSN store. I haven't used disc in such a long time. I'm mostly if not all digital and I'm not looking back. Games that have installed with a disc will always need the disc in order to play

  • There seems to be a solution to this on Reddit.

    1.Install from disc

    2.Delete the game from your PS4

    3.Go to library and get the game again, now it's suddenly a digital DL

    I don't believe this to be true.

    I tested this theory with Knack, that I had on disk ages ago and subsequently removed.

    The entry for Knack doesn't appear in the Library at all.

  • Go to the Playstation store and It should say that you have purchased it and then re-download it.
  • Untill you get ripped off i have bought driveclub digital 3 times i got the digital version a day after it came out then when the psplus version came out my psplus lapsed and i could no longer play it so i payed 9.99 in the sale for it to have it taken away again when my plus lapsed and i have payed yet again for driveclub after buying all the dlc for it seperate costing upwards of 70 just on dlc just to have it taken away is not worth it my freind on xbox also was doing as i was and buying digital only to have his xbox break when he buys his new xbox he cannot sign in so rings up microsoft for them to tell him that he cant have his acount thus losing a 1000 or more worth of content i havnt had the error rectified nor has my freind so for that reason digital is a bad idea i would like to c a refund of some kind but i dought that will ever happen i was ignored by evolution studios after inquiring whos issue it is
  • ive done that and lost the disc i deleted it to free up space and i read this now i check my library it tell me to pay £25 for it what do??


  • Its because the one in your library would be linking to the digital version.
    You didnt buy the digital version. You bought the disc version. If you want to play it you will either need to buy a new disc copy or buy the digital one.
  • So with the game in the Council it will recognize it as downloaded, then go into PlayStation Store then you just redownload it without an online purchase
  • I'm sorry let me rephrase that as the game is in the council you go into PlayStation Store and it will recognize it has been already download and then you just redownload it
  • Are you a complete idiot or just half ?
  • I bought COD IW digitally and went to install it through a friends disk save me waiting to download the full game but it doesnt seem to work even though i have purchased it, so now i have to deleate the disk version so i can downalod the version from the playstaion store.

    Really big hassel if you ask me

  • I does....some how i downloaded destiny again after trading the disk in...trying to figure out if it is in fact the full game and it seems as though it is.

  • You can only download a game from the store if already purchased the digital version. If you had the disk version, than you need to get another disk, or purchase the digital the version.
    In regards to IW, the digital and disc version are coded differently.
  • Even if the game shows in your library it does not give you the download option only the buy option on the ps network aswell.
  • What if you download a game (new disk) and use a scratch disk to install while playing
  • They should just add a new play station feature that when you have a disk and you install the game with the disk in your play station, you have an option to register the game in a play station account making you account own the game that also allows u to play the game without the disk but the disk will now become useless
  • That is a terrible idea and would make having a disc pointless. Just buy digital versions of games instead. Also game discs are not internally serialized so that wouldn't work either. It would be cheaper to eliminate discs all together since you have to download updated versions of the game anyways. Also that is the same idea that microsoft tossed around that made the used game industry pointless and was not well received by stores or consumers.

How To Download Ps4 Games From Disc

Ps4 Disc Or Download

Can I install a disk on ps4 instead of downloading the game data? Ask Question 2. I bought a digital game (Rainbow Six) today and I must download the data from play station network. My friend owns that game on a disk. Can I download a game on 2 different PS4? Playing while downloading game in the PS4. Of course, there's almost always a patch to download before being able to play the game while logged in. So in a way I guess that takes away from how fast disc installs are on the PS4.
