Cam I Download Game Updates On Ps4 Without Disc
I have a copy of Detroit: Become Human on disc and I have the digital deluxe edition, which was bought through the store. I had already played the disc version before buying the digital version.
Since I have the disc version already: do I only have the bonus content or do I actually have the digital version too? Is it just because I have that version installed that I still have to use the disc to play?
With the ps4 do you have to download the game if you buy the disc? Will the ps4 just run the game or do you have to do a long download/install? Does the install take long and do you have to download data of the disc as on ps4 games such as killzone shadowfall it says it takes up 45gb hdd space. Application Update Files. Your PS4™ system automatically downloads update files for games and other applications. To download while in rest mode, select (Settings) > [Power Save Settings] > [Set Features Available in Rest Mode] and then select the checkbox for [Stay Connected to the Internet].

I have had this happen multiple times, especially with free PS+ games. I've always had to uninstall the disc version then download the digital version. You can back up your saved games if you're concerned about losing them, but they should be fine.
The disc version probably doesn't install literally everything since it can read some content from the disc, so it makes sense that you'd need to install a new version to play it without the disc.
If you buy a digital version of a game you already had on disc, it removes the requirement that you have the disc in the system to play. You would now own the digital version of the full game plus whatever bonus content came with the digital purchase.
