Stopping a download ps4

Want to pause downloads on PlayStation 4? Here’s how.

As excellent as the PlayStation 4 is, it has the annoying habit of downloading multiple games or updates at once. So if you’ve just bought a game, there’s every chance it’ll be slow to download because the PS4’s also downloading the 72 gigabyte patch for Assassin’s Creed: Barnsley. Here’s how to pause downloads on PS4, so they’re not getting in the way of the content you actually want to download.

• Go to the main PlayStation menu – press the PlayStation button on your controller to access the menu if you’re not already there.
• Push up on the left thumbstick and select “Notifications”. Press X.
• You’ll see a list of notifications. Find the one that says “Downloads” and hit X again.
• Find the download or downloads you want to pause and hit X, then select pause and hit X again.
• The download is now paused.
• When you’re ready to resume downloading, after the game you really want has downloaded, repeat the above steps but select resume instead of pause.
