Turn off ps4 while games are downloading

I'm downloading the update file for The Elder Scrolls Online, which famously is extremely slow. I'm 3 hours in and have just finished the first mb. I'm going over to my boyfriends for a fortnight tomorrow night and I'm bringing my ps4 along as he hasn't got one but we like to play on it 24/7. I don't think it'll have finished downloading. You can. Just turn it off, move it, and when you turn it back in the download/install will resume. PS4 shuts down while downloading games/updates. As the title says. The most recent occurrence of this is today while trying to download Neverwinter. I've tried downloading in both Power On and Rest mode. Initially, the download made it to just over 1GB before my PS4 turns off. Now, every time I turn it back on and try again now it shuts down after a few short minutes of downloading.

One of the cooler features of the PlayStation 4 (PS4) is the ability to download your games without having to use the system. Instead, you can control this feature from your phone, so you don't. When you restart the Epic Games Launcher - even if it got force-closed, and/or you restarted Windows or your laptop in the meantime - it will continue any downloads it was working on before it was closed. Note that they - obviously - won't continue downloading while your laptop is shut off. My PS4 doesn't download game updates in Rest Mode, when I turn it on the updates only start downloading then and I have all the right options done 0 Tap here to load 3 comments.

How do I get my PS4 to download while off? Your PS4™ system automatically downloads update files for games and other applications. To download while in rest mode, select (Settings) [Power Save Settings] [Set Features Available in Rest Mode] and then select the checkbox for [Stay Connected to the Internet]. Answer (1 of 2): Umm the PS4 is not supposed to turn off while downloading their chief, and as a matter of fact a PS4 turning off while downloading has the potential to not only corrupt your hard drive but brick your system also, especially if it’s turn off during a software update.
