PlayStation 4 has been the talk of the town for over a year now. Sony’s tech marvel has gotten even better with refined features and super-exciting games. In a world where VR is common, technology like PS4 seems hard to adjust to. But Sony PlayStation 4 has strengthened its place.

Christmas just passed away, and if you are gifted with the most powerful PlayStation in the world- the Sony PS5, you would have to learn a few things. There are plenty of things in this gaming console to be excited about, and you would certainly want to start immediately. You will have to set up your PlayStation Account and a PS Plus subscription so you can start to play online. The process is excruciating and setting up the console needs attention.

Just make sure, the setup procedure is easy and simple for you, we have mentioned a complete step-by-step guide to set up PS4. Follow the process and your PlayStation 4 will be gunning before the period you would have imagined;

 


Box Is Mandatory


Don’t ruthlessly unbox your PlayStation 4 in the thrill. The box is a compulsory part of the setting so don’t tear it into pieces or take the dangerous step like throwing it away. The box is a pre-designed carrying package for the PS console. It means that whenever you have to take your PlayStation somewhere, the box will work as a travelling case.


Attach Console To TV


Got a Playstation 4?

 The HDMI cable would be included in the complete PS package. Attach one part with your TV and the other part with the PS4 HDMI Out port. After connecting both PS4 and TV, connect the console to the satellite or cable box. There must be a HDMI cable before your setting, which would be connecting the cable box to the TV.

Unplug the existing cable from the TV and plug the spare one into your console. The connection would directly be made where the console’s “HDMI IN” port is present. After the connection between the TV and console, and the console and cable box are done plug the PS4 unit into a power source and adjust the batteries into a controller.

Switch on the TV and search the input that you used for your PS4.


Internet Connection For Unlimited Gaming Experience!

If you want to enjoy games like you have never before, then an internet connection is necessary. Hardwiring your internet router or modem to the PS4 will suffice. To complete the internet connection between both devices you need an Ethernet cable. Keep in mind that cable is not part of the PS4 package and you would have to use yours or buy a new one.

Connect one end of the cable to the LAN port to the PlayStation 4 and the other end to a router or modem. If your internet connection to the PS4 is wireless, then follow all the commands and steps which are coming one after another on your screen.


Match Your Controllers

As soon as the connection with the TV is done and the internet connection is fixed, you have to pair the controller with the PS4 console. A Micro USB console will come along with the PlayStation 4 package, use that to connect and press the “PS” button on the controller. That’s all your controllers are paired and that is the most vigorous and savouring duo you would have ever used.


Setup Your Account


An account is necessary to keep count of all the in-app or game purchases you would make with their PS4. The setup procedure includes creating a PlayStation Network account, including your username, birth date and password, primarily. A password should be strong so that no one can hack your account.

The created account will store all the records of your purchases, so if you cannot get back to your account you will be in serious trouble. For safekeeping, write your password in some secret place so that if you forget you have another option to look upon. If you used any previous model of PlayStation and have already made your account, you can use that login details and information in the new PS4 too.


Download Apps, Install Updates and Bingo!


Setting up also includes downloading all your preferred games and updates. Take a few minutes to survey if any updates are pending. If there are updates, then the console will guide you on how to update. Follow all steps for updating and restart the console when updates are complete.

After completing the updates, you can now download your favourite apps, games or any app you want to test. Download all, as per your choice, and get started.


Subscription To PlayStation For A Membership


In case you are interested in playing with multiple players, you need to subscribe to a PlayStation Now Membership. Get the membership there to reap all the benefits of your PS4. Believe me, it would be the most enthusiastic and thrilling game experience you would ever have.

This is the procedure all the over-eager PlayStation 4 owners would have to follow, before plunging right into their console. You need to follow these steps carefully for an everlasting experience with PS4. After you are done, don’t wait for anybody to forget the world and enjoy the never-ending fun rides of apps and games.
