How to backup and decrypt your ps4 disc games and run them from the hard drive without the original disc. you can also use this to backup a game and send it to someone so they can run the game. For disc-based games does the ps4 install the entire game -as if it was digital? playstation 4 (for example) has a digital copy available, i know that it is possible for the game to run without a disc. basically, is the knack install from the disc the same exact thing on your ps4 as a knack digital download? thanks for your time!. The disc is only there to verify you bought the game. the file on your ps4 is the same as the file you would download from the psn store but with physical copies you still need to insert the disk to be able to play..

Will you be able to play games without the disk after install on ps4? discussion in 'playstation lobby' started by larrylegend, playing the game without the blu-ray is out of the question. First, remove the disc and uninstall the game from your ps4. then you're gonna go to library on the ps4, where it holds all of your games even if they're uninstalled. this step is important, because if you go to the ps store it will tell you you've already purchased and you can't download..
