PlayStation 4 format – so go ahead
- You first go into the "settings" on your PS4 console.
- Go here to the bottom and select the item "initialisation".
- In the next step, select the Option "restore default settings".
- Now the message is shown that by this process all the game data will be lost. You confirm this with "restore" and "Yes" that starts the process.
- Wait until the restore is complete. Meanwhile, the console must not be disconnected from the mains.
- After the process is completed successfully, you need to set up the console again.
Before you perform this procedure, you should save your data. As you have a Backup on an external hard drive, read on the next page.
