How To Backup PS 4 Games From your PC While You Playing

Every gamer wants to know a method of how to backup PS 4 games from PC while he plays the game! The Yukimura update on the Playstation 4 was eagerly anticipated and fortunately, this update also known as firmware 2.50 was released recently. This update is very important for several reasons from which the ability to back up the entire content on a PS 4, in which game installs are included is probably the most important one.

The update itself will be very useful if you are ever in a need to reinstall a game. Because some games are really large in size and exceed over 40-50 GB of free space. Now, with the new update, it will not be required to re-download any of the digitally purchased games in case you have decided to upgrade or change the PS4 hard drive. This update will come quite handy in case you want to free some space on the console and after a while, you got the desire to play it again.

To store the existing data from your PS4 you will need a USB pen drive or external HDD.
