Super-Fly Spider-Guy Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Sometimes the machine knows there's updates and doesn't count then in the estimate. Try killing your internet and reinstalling the game, if you can't afford to free up some space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleggworth Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Digital requires you to have double the required space to download it. If it's disc I'm not sure, i guess it must be the update thing noted by spider-guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitalFury Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) Games usually require 2x the space...a download and install file. As far as I'm aware this is the same on PS4. (digital not disk) So if the game is anything above 25gb your gonna need more real space Edited May 12, 2016 by VitalFury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) Delete games. Games for UpdateStation 4 take much more space than store estimate due to updates and so on. Edited May 12, 2016 by Satoshi Ookami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks its ok i updating my hard drive i just want to wanted to back up my hard drive but i thought it was corrupted because i can't install a 24gb game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneIronshield Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 So because dragon age comes in at 60GB it requires 120GB altogether ?? Only during installation, during that step is the only time double the space is required. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tosmasta00 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I don't know how people manage to get their HDD full so easy. I got a bunch of games on my ps4 and only takes up like 140GB. Aside of that as someone said you could delete games that you won't play anymore to free up some space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sicho Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) I recently put a 2TB HDD in my PS4 because my 500GB was full. Now I have already around 1.2 TB used up... Edited May 12, 2016 by Sicho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With no games you only get around 1.7 TB. That's standard across hard drives(HDD makers use 1000MB as 1GB and 1000GB as 1TB where as its 1024MB is 1GB and 1024GB is 1TB- so it's actually around 1.83TB and then the ps4 reserves some for OS/OS updates) somyou must have around 4-500gb of games/apps. Blame the hard drive makers for this one, advertising works better to say 500gb/1tb/2/tb ect but in the real world it's actually slightly less 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceofjade Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 external hardrive or delete some games, tbh with games regularly coming in at 50-60gb now a 1tb ps4 should have been default instead of 500gb it's so annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrickenBiged Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 external hardrive External HDD doesn't work to actually run the games from tho. That's an XBOne feature, but not available on PS4. (Assuming you're on about connecting via USB. If you mean an external HDD connected to the SATA port where a HDD would normally sit, than that'd work, I guess.)

Z1MZUM Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I'm still using a Nyko Databank and a 4Gig 3.5 inch hdd, I haven't had any problems despite the regular negative feedback on the internet. I'll take a screen shot of the storage and dump it on the ps4 screenshot topic, I recommend this product, don't listen to the internet complaints.

AffectatiousDonk Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 My 2TB has been maxed for awhile, would definitely suggest getting as big as possible, especially if your buying games digital 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidou Kuzunoha XIV Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 It may not be installing because the game install + updates are larger than 50gb (even if the update(s) will overwrite data on the install, it still counts it as being separate before the updates have been installed). You're going to have to delete something from your hard drive to make space for it unfortunately. I have to keep deleting game installs regularly now as my 500GB hard drive is constantly getting filled. I'll probably upgrade the hard drive eventually, though I'm notoriously lazy when it comes to that sort of thing. I stuck with my 80GB PS3's hard drive until it died just last month though, after 8 years of use. I doubt I'll ever fill the new PS3's 500GB hard drive.
