Ps4 downloading game disc

No data is streamed from the disc and each one is installed to your hard drive in the same way a digital game is. The only way to play games without a disc is to download games from the PlayStation store. Playing downloaded games is as simple as selecting a title from your list of games.

Neither is superior in terms of graphics, performance frame rate , or resolution. The reason of this is simple — every PS4 game needs to be installed on the hard drive.

This includes physical PS4 games. I tend to go physical when I can due to the ability to play indefinitely. Physical games also tend to fall in price over time while digital titles often rely on PlayStation sales for savings.

PS4 discs can also be resold or traded in to lower the cost of future game purchases. Even if you install the game off the disk, the console will expect to see the disc. The PS4 uses the disc to basically say 'Hey! You really do own this game! For your downloaded games - yes. You will just have to download the game onto both consoles. As long as you are using the account you purchased the game with, it should work.
