How to not download ps4 game onto harddrive

SCE Worldwide Studios President Shuhei Yoshida has confirmed you can fully install games onto the PS4 hard drive.

This was confirmed on Yoshida’s official twitter when he answered with a simple “yes” when a fan asked him about it.

This means you can buy a disc-based PS4 game and install the full game content onto the hard drive. However, the disc still needs to be inside the PS4 for verification purposes.

Since the console will launch with a huge 500GB hard drive, I’m sure this is enough space to fit in at least a couple of full installations depending on the size of each game.
