Absolutely! Just plug in an external hard drive with a USB 3.0 port, and you're good to go. The PS4 will recognize it and guide you through the setup process. It's a lifesaver for those massive game libraries!

Yes, external hard drives work with the PS4. Just format it correctly in the settings, and you'll be able to store all your games and apps.

Nope, not necessary. Just uninstall games you're not playing. It keeps things simple.

Yep, you can use an external hard drive with your PS4. Make sure it's a USB 3.0 and has at least 250GB of storage, up to 8TB. I expanded my storage this way, and it's been smooth sailing!
