Apr 07, 2017 Yes, this is definitely a glitch. It seems that once we have less than ~50GB free, you can't download anything unless you free up space to have 50GB or more free again. I've seen many other people who are also having this issue. Whenever my PS4 has less than 50GB free, I can't even download a small indie game. Jul 29, 2016 PS4 Can't Download Bug PlayStation 4. Deleting and reinstalling the game. And yet the only progress that has been made was that before now, it was stuck trying to download version 1.25 and after deleting and reinstalling Destiny, it became stuck on version 1.26. TL;DR: I can't download updates because I it says I don't have enough. Like i would have 20 GB and would want to download lets Say Minecraft(just pretend) which is lets say 10gb. It would tell me i need more space, after freeing up 50+ GB then it would let me download it. Edit: My hypothesis, is that the ps4 needs that extra space for game/software updates but honestly i dunno, its kinda stupid if you ask me.
Everytime I try to update it says it cannot download and I need more storage but I have more than enough to do this, few friends have the exact same problem
Same problem , 40g free space , no solucion.
Same here
Same thing here in Canada. In fact the same thing happened last update. I deleted a bunch of files and games despite having plenty of free space and.. it downloaded after that. The download file was less than 1gb I believe so it was a bit frustrating. Perhaps it requires a lot of free space during the install process? Still that'd be ridiculous unless it's an architectural problem with the PS4.
Same problem here!
Same here!
Ok. Apparently you need twice the free space on PS4 as any content you download for it. It's to allow the file to unpack and install. Now the update might only be around 600mb but the game itself is getting patched.. which should be about 12.34gb at the moment. So have at least 26gb free space available and it should work (worked for me). As for FreddyDream's 40gb I don't have any clue. Maybe he has a PS Pro? That update is much larger then as it adds support for it in this release and the filesize is larger and should probably require more than 40gb to have room to install.
I have 38.49 gigs free on a normal ps4 and it still will not work for me.
BT160913 - Sometimes when it doesn't download it's because you have too many download notifications. It's weird but true. Just erase them. I assume you knew that though but not a lot of people know that until it happens to them. But failing that.. got no clue.
Yea I cleaned my ps4 of all that junk and still no luck but thanks for trying.
This is so enraging, I've been none stop trying to download this for 2 hours and I think It's giving me a migraine. I've Cleared notifications, downloads and uploads. I've ended up deleting battlefield leaving me with now 60.58GB. Turned my PS4 on and off, re started it at least 8 times now.nothing is working.
3% then error
3% then errorthat is what is happening to me and i don`t know how to fix it
Same problem here the thing with deleting notifications dont work
Ps4 Cant Download Game Enough Spaces
Still will not work for me!
Still the same problem. Download stop at 3%.
It would be great, if the technical support would tell us the status. Please fix it.
I fixed it. It took just a free space that is nearly 125 times bigger than the size of this update.
What does that mean? I had 33 Gb of free space. I deleted another game to get 82Gb of free space. After that I was able to download the 656 MB Update. Ridiculous.
I have had the same problem for like a week now !! thanks for finding a solution !
