Boards PlayStation 4 For disc-based games does the ps4 install the entire game -as if it was digital? Steve06 8 years ago 1.

For example, I have bought Knack on disc. According to my ps4's memory list, it is taking up about 35gb of space. Is this only cached? As in, if I put in another game, will Knack's 35gb go away? I know that the ps4 installs the game, but does it still require the disc? Does that mean that I can just buy a game on a disc and install it fully then give the disc away? What is confusing to me is how a disc is different than a digital copy.

Given that Knack for example has a digital copy available, I know that it is possible for the game to run without a disc. Basically, is the Knack install from the disc the same exact thing on your ps4 as a Knack digital download? Thanks for your time!
