It is actually insane how helpful you can be sometimes..

I always recommend people do these also for their PS4, and now (if lucky enough to have one), the PS5. A number of people used to think I was making it up, in particular clearing the cache. But even just doing that they saw the boost in performance. Doing these 2 steps, along with at least a quick dusting once a month should keep your PS4/PS5 running at or at least near its best potential.

I'm still playing my PS4 and I'm going to be playing it for awhile. I'm in no hurry to get a PS5, I've invested too much money for games, I still have games I haven't even played yet. I'm not going to get a PS5 and start buying 70 bucks for games when I have too many PS4 games on my Seagate hard drive. So I appreciate info on keeping my PS4 running smoothly, thank you!👍

Moving your games to an external USB SSD will work wonders too, I suggest that over replacing the internal one if you plan to upgrade to PS5 later. This will save you a LOT of time as you can connect the same external drive to the PS5 and play all the games off it without having to redownload or transfer the game files from the old console.

Great advice, I did this to my PS4 pro and it really helped. Cut my load times by 20%

[alvzcizzler]

This also applies to the PS3 in case anyone still uses that console but it's important to know that neither the PS3 or PS4 will take full advantage of an SSD upgrade since they use SATA II, only the PS4 Pro model uses SATA III interface which is strange but it's the only one that can take full advantage of an SSD upgrade.

I got an external hard drive. Works just fine plug and play. Really brought my system back to life. I had no idea you could just jack a drive into the USB port and it would real it as system memory.

Damn! straight to the point!!! Loved it!

[yeeee]

Always giving the best advice! Thanks!

You forgot to mention that applying black screen as a wallpaper will also increase performance as there is nothing to load so that will decrease the load from the system and you can use that extra VRAM for better performance, Hope this helps ( :

I can't thank you enough for this. My PS4 was freezing and lagging, started about 2 weeks ago. I have yet to get my hands on a PS5 and I was loosing my mind it was going to die on me. Thanks for the video HUGE help. #NewSubber #ThankYou #🙏🏿

This was a huge problem on my slim model. I also have over 200 games installed. Upgrading to pro was a big improvement but I was noticing slow down. Thanks for the spring clean up reminder! You're out here doing God's work

[moneybags]

Thank you for this tip my friend my ps4 was lagy and now it is a little better your tips are truly amazing 🙌❤️📣

I had a PS Vita that suddenly stopped working and wouldn't turn on.

I plugged in the charger for an hour and held the power button for around 17 seconds until it booted in safe mode. From there I chose the rebuild hardware option, fixed it.

Also if you have lag or NAT type 2 on your PS4 online try adjusting the MTU settings from 1500 down to 1450 or 1400, this will transfer a smaller amount of data more often.
Resulting in better performance.

Hey John, I would have thought you’d do a video or at least comment on the spammers/scammers who were posing as you and causing posts to disappear (either by wrongly reporting them as spam or deleting them).

Cheers for the reminder to do this. Even though most firmware updates do a DB rebuild, clearing the cache always helps speed up the UI.

Sadly, it doesn’t stop poorly optimised games from making the PS4/PS4 Pro work harder/run hotter & noisier though.

I recently got the Samsung EVO 870 SSD and the improvement is incredible....Cost nearly as much as the PS4 itself though but has greatly extended its life and performance

[tedpetersen]

Thank you now my PS4 actually has speed to it like it used to when I first bought it.

[mazika]

Very helpful. I had a lag and speed up issue with fifa 23 and the cache clear tip solved it immediately! Thanks

[UniversalGamerEdye]

I actually unscrew my entire ps4, clean the fan out and it did wonders! But this is a very viable tip for those who don't want to spend hours unscrewing.

[SrChr]

Did this earlier today. System now runs much better. ✌
