PlayStation 4 hacks now not- hacks. Not a way to hack

Maybe you didn't know that your console can
actually do

Hacks that maybe you did or maybe you didn't know
You can never go wrong with an extra layer of security on anything that you own electronic wise and we're gonna say at number 10
Setting up a passcode, and you don't want people using your console when you're not home. It's like your computer
You have all your stuff saved on there
You don't want somebody going in and messing with it
And you can actually prevent this and make sure that no one plays
Unless you are there you can find the options for this in the parental control section of the settings on your
Playstation 4 you can make it so only you can access your account and even make it so only you can access certain games
That's right. You can actually make it
Where if they got in they can't play the games that you don't want to if you live with younger siblings or anything like that?
You don't want them playing those M. Rated games. You can take care of that. It's all under parental controls
I actually have a password set up on mine
I have to put it in every time I log into the PlayStation 4, and I highly recommend it
At number nine
Did you know that you can actually use your phone your smartphone as?
A remote by downloading the PlayStation app on your phone
There's actually a ton of cool stuff you can do with it aside from buying and downloading games without having to turn on your console
You can actually sync your app with your system to use your phone has your remote
This will allow you to do things like send
Messages type sentences from your phone on a full keyboard as opposed to slowly typing one letter at a time with your DualShock 4 controller
If you are someone who sends a lot of text on the ps4 talks a lot, whatever
You should probably look into the PlayStation app for your phone as it would save you a ton of time make texting easier
Messaging easier all kinds of stuff so give it a try and let me know what you think
This next one's not exactly like a hack
It's some advice and number eight get a bigger hard drive
Many of us are familiar with the external hard drives that many consoles offer for extra space but in addition to that I'm sure many
Of you are also aware of how huge digital games are now they are big often taking
10 times as much space as they did on the Xbox 360 and the ps3
And if you want to get a new hard drive for your ps4 you can actually just replace the one that's already inside of it
Sony is actually totally in favor of users replacing the ps4 hard drive and even it has detailed instructions online
how to safely and efficiently replace your hard drive so if you've been running out of disk space
recently I
recommend you check those out and see what you can do because your average game is like 40 to 80 gig right now and if
You don't have a very big PlayStation 4 hard drive. You're gonna. You're gonna find yourself
Literally only be able to store one or two games on your console
Have you ever wished you could use your TV remote control as your PlayStation remote?
Maybe not that's kind of odd, but hey you can at number 7 syncing your console with your TV
You can actually do this if you go into your settings you can actually sync your console with your TV
Assuming your TV is somewhat new by going into the system settings and enabling the HDMI device link option
You can use your TV's remote to scroll through your PlayStation 4 apps
And you can even use it to turn it off and on just be aware that if you
Hit the power button and turn the TV off the ps4 will go into standby mode
It won't contain won't turn completely off so you have to understand you didn't power it all the way down
With your TV remote, but it's not a big deal. It is pretty cool
though that the PlayStation 4
has all these options to use external devices like your phone and your TV remote to actually work with the system I
Didn't know this one and number 6
you could actually dim the light on your controller the DualShock 4 has become known for the big blue light on its front side but
You can actually you can dim this thing pretty cool
It looks cool, but it eats up your battery pretty quickly in your remote
And if you want your controller to last longer you can go into your settings and dim the light on your actual
controllers this will keep them running longer without having to fully sacrifice that nice blue glow and
speaking of controller power
At number 5 charging your controller with a phone cable this one. This one is imperative
You should know this one a lot of people don't realize that you don't need the official Sony cable to charge your controller now Sony
Would probably like you to believe you do so that you buy their products
But you don't in fact almost all micro USB cables work as chargers and unless you have an iPhone
You're probably aware that your phone charger is a microUSB
Use your phone charger or any other
MicroUSB cable to charge your controller, and if you're an iPhone user don't worry
Just keep in mind next time you have to buy a ps4 charger that you can save money. Just getting a generic microUSB
Cable as opposed to the official Sony license one
Which usually with that license officiality if you will they're gonna charge you extra for just that when in reality?
The cords are all the same they all function the same, and you could get away using a much much cheaper one
At number 4
PlayStation live-streaming has become a huge part of the gaming world over the last few years huge
It's getting bigger by the day the PlayStation 4 is a pretty cool feature that allows you to see pretty much every stream you could
Across all platforms a lot of people don't even watch TV on their TV anymore there were live streams on their computer
They watch this stuff on their consoles
It's titled live from PlayStation and this app allows you to browse through streams from YouTube gaming from twitch
You stream all in one place rather than having to browse through all the apps
Individually you can go find your favorite stream right there on
PlayStation Live, which is pretty cool, and that's the way entertainment is going is live streaming
Many people like to listen to music while they're gaming and you can play music while you're gaming on your Playstation 4
It has a feature
That's specifically tailored for this by installing
Spotify to your console or just by downloading some mp3s
You can tinker around with your audio settings to make it so you can play that music while you're playing a game
And you're not going to be sacrificing the game's audio. It's not going to mix the two together
You can use both the ps4 s audio mixer is pretty detailed and nine times out of ten
You can find that perfect mix that allows you to hear the music
Just as much as you need to hear the game plus if you have the added luxury of getting your music playing through your headphones
Or through your TV speakers rather than your phone like I know many of us do when we're actually
Gaming so not a big deal
But I know a lot of people like to listen to music while the game and the PlayStation 4 tailors write to you
Many people forget that the PlayStation 4 actually has a pretty lengthy list of voice commands available to the user and that these can be
accessed by any
microphone voice commands through your headset
If you turn on voice commands in your settings a microphone plugged into your controller
Can be used to activate them your voice control settings also have a complete list of everything you can do with them
So be sure to look these over and take full advantage it can be a stand-up mic desk mic
It could be the mic on your headset a lot of people don't realize that be a lot of people realize Xbox one has voice
Control, but PlayStation 4 does as well
Okay the number one tip for you guys today PlayStation 4 hack whatever you want to call it is share play
This is a super cool feature for those of you who like playing with your friends, but either that you don't want it
You don't have a second controller
Or you want to play a game that doesn't have split screen
Share plays a feature on the ps4 that allows the host to share the game with another player without them
Actually owning the game, which is really really cool
It even allows you to shift control of single player games
from one
to another
Like if you're playing through a tough part of blood-borne you can shift control over to your buddy screen and they can do it for
You and get you through that level just as if you guys were playing together at your house
And they handed you the controller share play has a lot of awesome features
And if you're someone who likes to play ps4 with your buddies
You should definitely mess around with it and see what all you can use it for this isn't something that people talk about
They don't even really advertise it that much, but this is actually a big deal
Not just for sharing and having somebody come in and help you with the game
But the fact that you can go let your friends play a game that maybe they couldn't afford
Or they couldn't get at the moment. They could actually get on and play with you even though
They never officially bought the game and there you have it my friends. Those are 10 ps4 tips tricks hacks
whatever you want to call them, maybe make your
PlayStation 4 experience a little better all of these things are in there some of them are just hidden
