Hey everyone, so my power just tripped and now my PS4 is asking for a manual update. I know the steps to do it, but for some reason, it’s not working. I’ve cleared my USB stick and only saved the necessary file, yet it’s still not taking the update. My only concern is that it might need to be a 1TB USB, but I don’t have one like that. Any tips on how to get this update to work?
1 Answer
I had a similar issue with my PS4. The key is to make sure you’re reinstalling the system software from scratch instead of just updating. You don’t need a huge USB—any stick works as long as it has the update file, which is only about 1GB. Check out the official guide from PlayStation if you need step-by-step help!
