Factory resetting a PS4 takes anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours, depending on the amount of data and settings. Once you start the process, just let it do its thing and go grab a snack!

For a full factory reset, you鈥檙e looking at around 1-2 hours, but it can vary. Make sure your controller is charged because you鈥檙e in for a bit of a wait!

If you鈥檙e in a rush, expect at least 30 minutes for a quick reset, but for a full wipe, it鈥檚 best to set aside some time (1-2 hours).

Pro tip from experience: mine took about 90 minutes. Your mileage may vary, but expect around that ballpark.
