Similarly, you may ask, does ps4 use discs for games?
The disc installation is required on PS4 because the console is not designed to read games off of discs. Not surprisingly, Microsoft's Xbox One requires installation from Blu-Ray, too, and only runs games off the hard drive. If a PS4 user decides to download a game, they will have to wait longer to play.
Also Know, can you upload disc games to ps4? Yes you can install a game from disk, not cd, the ps4 games come on blu-ray. A CD has only around 700mb and is only suitable therefore, for audio files, smaller video files, older gen games (think ps1) or saving data on. You WILL need the disk to play though.
Also Know, do you still need the disc after installing a ps4 game?
As for downloading games to the ps4, you already do. The ps4 installs the games to itself in the background as you play. If you buy a game through PSN and download it onto your system, there will be no disc, and you can thus play without having to deal with a disc.
Should I buy disc or digital ps4?
There's no much big difference. Generally physical games need the disc in the PS4's disk drive whenever you play games. So you need to swap your discs whenever you want to play different games. A digital copy of a game refers to a game stored as software on a computer, be it PC, PS4 or any other media.
