We are only a few days away from the release of The Division 2 worldwide. Well if you are a consumer of physical games and you have a PS4, we have very bad news: it could be several hours before you can play this brand new title thanks to the immense size of its first update. Ubisoft uploaded a support page of The Division 2, which revealed the size of its day one patch on different platforms. Provided you are online, your console will simultaneously download Title Update 1 while you install it.

If this were the case you could download a disc game and then sell off the disc version. Disc vs digital: which is worth it? Disc and digital PS4 games are identical in all aspects but convenience and pricing. Can you download disc games in rest mode?
Do disc game installations require an internet connection? Wherever a game is stored, save files, screenshots and video clips are stored on the internal drive. If you disconnect the external drive while the console is powered on, data loss or corruption may occur.
If the system is not shut down correctly, you may get a message that the external storage drive needs to be repaired. However, with that much storage, it should be easier to decide which games to banish to your Library when you need to make room.
The disc installation is required on PS4 because the console is not designed to read games off of discs. It's not a PlayStation issue. It's a physics issue. The machine may have a Blu-Ray drive that's about three times faster than the PS3 and sixteen times as much memory, but it's still more expedient for the PS4 to read data from its own hard drive.
Cerny said his team had heard too many complaints from current-gen developers about having to wait to load in new levels of games. Putting the data on the readily-accessible hard drive alleviates that. Not surprisingly, Microsoft's Xbox One requires installation from Blu-Ray, too, and only runs games off the hard drive. If a PS4 user decides to download a game, they will have to wait longer to play.
Cerny couldn't provide as narrow an estimate on how long a player who decided to download Knack would have to wait. That depends in large part on a user's Internet connection speed. Ideally, he said, they wouldn't have to wait more than an hour before beginning to play the partially downloaded games.
