10 Things You Didn't Know Your PS4 Could Do

The PlayStation 4 is the leading, current generation, console by a landslide. Sony didn’t market their console as the “all in one” entertainment system like Microsoft did with the Xbox One, but that doesn’t mean that the PS4 doesn’t have some tricks up its sleeve. From incredibly useful to semi-pointless, here are some of the most interesting things your PS4 could do, that you may or may not have known about.

[@nudesquirell334]

Mr. Bigglesworth lol

[@mr.bigglesworth2952]

Seriously they're showing CoD ghosts and Knack. and those games are ancient even for the PS4 xD

[@RageQuitRQ]

Mr. Bigglesworth I was thinking that because these facts would've been OK when the console JUST released

[@mr.bigglesworth2952]

Rage Quit that too. Lol

[@Thebossstage1]

Just thinking that The games he was showing were launch titles xD

[@dismaljupiter4030]

Nice clickbait thumbnail

[@xXtuscanator22Xx]

Dismal Jupiter Well actually it's a real console lol you can buy it off Amazon

[@futoijosei]

Dismal Jupiter What is it called?

[@AnthonyKingsTV]

Here is the guys who actually makes them EdsJunk337

[@explicit862]

Tommy Berger im not gon search it but its still clickbait at its finest

[@dismaljupiter4030]

I don't think you know what clickbait is sweetie

[@jackburton8352]

Quite a patronising list like all PS4 users are morons.

[@saltysalt9213]

I knew all of these, hell everyone that has a PS4 knows this

[@urielvillagran8813]

[@saltysalt9213]

Uriel Villagran Lol

[@サト_像]

Lol I don't

[@awasteofspacetime]

what a surprise, it's Fraghero and it's click bait.

[@youngburv]

Gaming_God14 no, it's a ps4 hooked up to a computer moniter, not that hard

[@awasteofspacetime]

Cooper Johnson I was talking about the entire video. Between the articles I see on Facebook and the videos I've seen from them here on KZbin, Fraghero just puts out click bait.

[@rizaadon]

Gaming_God14 if you want the video shown in the thumbnail type in Eddie zarick

[@migueldelacruz3051]

One thing the PS4 can't do, backwards compatibility. Man, one of the most important feature but was not applied.

[@bluethegiant513]

Miguel dela Cruz Backwards compatibility isn't an important feature. It's cool, but i would rather PlayStation focus on the the present/future rather than the past

[@migueldelacruz3051]

I respect your opinion Thebluegiant. But there are a crowd out there that are like me, who wish to play last gen games on the new gen console.

[@yareyaredawa]

Or simply remaster MORE old games

[@jackduggan6138]

Miguel dela Cruz They cant do backwards compatibility.

[@tryhardgaming5484]

Who really want to play OLD games when there is so much new stuff out? Maybe if your poor and can't afford new games whenever :)

[@Vintagesonic1]

Who else already knew everything about the PS4 in this video *ALSO THAT CLICKBAIT THOUGH*

[@memetrain1572]

Vintage sonic 1 I'm sure you didn't know that your PS4 turns off if you're holding the home button for 10 secs btw I stole this fact from the comments above sooooooo yeah I haven't tried it yet

[@Vintagesonic1]

*Bruh* ive owned a PS4 for years and i know for a fact that dosnt happen

[@JunoBXRthesequel]

Rico Rodriguos that just turns off the controller

[@respekwamen9202]

Vintage sonic 1 i knew EVERY FUCKING THING

[@Vintagesonic1]

[@callumbrent3306]

1. Login with facial recognition 2. Screenshot by holding share button 3. Switch between last 2 applications by double tapping home button 4. Pairing PS Vita with PS4 5. Discover how rare your trophies are 6. Power saving modes 7. Voice commands 8. Other headsets can be used 9. Backup your data with PSN Cloud or USB 10. Type by facing controller to keyboard

[@allarian8726]

Was hoping for a hidden function that allowed the PS4 to turn into a Death Star...

[@achmadtitofauzan3809]

Allarian damn and i hoping that we can turn the controller into lightsaber

[@bkids5359]

When he said you can back up your "important data" I laughed

[@otnath]

this guy sounds like the tutorial guy from little big planet

[@superworldsun]

Did you know you can turn on a ps4 and use it as a heater. In just 10 minutes my room is on fire.

[@justaguy3436]

Or maybe a lot of people have shitty internet so they can't use the PS Vita to play the PS4

[@BallistikaGames]

You can also used the sensor pad to move around the little circle for the keyboard as well

[@GamingASMR_x]

remote play does not make your ps4 games portable you can't even be 10ft away from your ps4 before it starts lagging

[@confusedheavy6933]

I know Right

[@amritk5173]

Spikiest Lotust need good connection unfortunately

[@crazeeeavery4203]

Spikiest Lotust lol I remote play from work via WiFi.

[@evandrakent]

i remote play using tmobile hot spot all the time, is the only reason i play ps4.

[@atomicace1551]

I like the fact with Sony's new firmware for PS4 you can use external USB devices as storage for your games so you could buy a 4tb drive to store all your games and stuff which is a pretty Epic feature

[@Azasef]

You don't have to use the controller at all for typing. I just plug in a wireless keyboard and mouse and voila! 😜

[@Lex44477]

Rodrigo Diaz-Icasuriaga or ones with wires voila

[@saintsfps716]

i can get my keybord to work but no my mouse which sucks

[@Azasef]

saints FPS I have an old Logitech m150 from a combo mouse and keyboard package. They work fine.

[@saintsfps716]

i legit have a 20$ one from ebay looks nice works decent for the price and the keyboard and mouse plug in with 1 usb dongle so could be cause its so cheap and not very good

[@lhitman2222]

Rodrigo Diaz-Icasuriaga you can use the d-pad to type

[@ecovasquez6246]

i had a ps4 for a year now and i didn't know any of this so thanks i didn't know this channel but im a new sub cuz of this video keep up the good work

I Hate The Xbox Kids Who Says OMG PS4 IS A -Scrub- Xbox One Will Always Be Better....... Im Like: -Wtf.... Xbox Is Just A Frcking Copy Of Ps xDDD It Is Created Only Then When Ps2 Came Out xDDDD And Ps4 Is Not a -Scrub- It Is Just A Lot Better Console Than Your Box When You Put Your Socks When yo Mom Tell Yo To Go Sleep And Ps4 ???? My Dad Has A Xbox One And When I Buyed ps4 He Played Whit It For A While And Said: -Okay So Now I Know That Xbox Is *Shit*

[@robertvisa7358]

[@DocHollidayGames]

You're seriously going to title your video things we "didn't know" as if you are privy to knowledge that we're too stupid to figure out on our own? It's a bold and arrogant assumption. How about you give your audience a little more credit and title it "things you may not know"?

[@trexxis812]

Joseph Holliday that's nitpicking the likes of which we may have never seen

[@DragonProtector]

it false advertizing jsut so they can get more views it all ways to scam for money

[@thechoiceisyours3041]

Copied comment.

[@DocHollidayGames]

Shadow of Intent ?

[@thechoiceisyours3041]

Joseph Holliday This comment gets posted on every video with this kind of title, more or less word for word

[@Skullfire-lh4fb]

The one at 3:38 about the headphones work the same on Xbox one the thing that also makes it better is the PS4 has to use usb when Xbox can use AUX that plugs into your computer. Some headphones to work on PS4 they need a adapter for usb

[@dustyjello2560]

I didn't know you could put games in the ps4 I was using it as a sliced luncheon meat holder

[@batmanvsuperman_]

Ah yes the console with the most plain dashboard in gaming history.

[@leaktv4682]

To you guys who worried 1:14 look at the date Thanks me later

[@Daggerdawg]

FIFA 17 I noticed because it's on a different version

[@nickolas2782]

That's the date that the screenshot was took, so this video still possibly could have been made lately

[@YOSOYELDURO23]

Wait a minute, I've seen this video, like 2 years ago.....................

[@atnxgamerz8479]

Lol u only need the controller on Xbox to use any headphones

[@atnxgamerz8479]

Who tf would wanna put anti virus and keep updating a gaming device cause it isn't capable of running next gen games that keep requiring better operating systems, bitch games keep improving, at least a console ensures that u will be able to play the game with out buying extra shit.

[@Lex44477]

AtnxGamerz On ps4 you can also plug in the usb port or in the controller my headphones are wireless and come with a usb dongly that i can plug into my pc ps4 or tv

[@wadud92]

Headphones are not the same as a headset. Yes you can use headphones with a 2.5 jack on the PS4 but if you have the money for it a decent headset will give you a lot better sound quality, directional sound and mic quality

[@KazuyaYuza]

Now I know why I'm not subscribed to this channel

[@tywightman7256]

Ps4 is best only people how like Xbox are the ones how started with it but I switched and I like ps4 better

[@tywightman7256]

Troooooowwwwww

[@philrobertson2705]

And not one word about the external HD feature in one of the latest patches. I now have 3TB space and no lag and don't have to worry about how many games I have installed.

[@allenslayz5118]

Console peasants ranting saying pc sucks welp I got bad news for u. One thing u didn't know pc can do that console that can't Better Graphics without mods

[@Hellsong89]

Remembers back in the day when xbox one and ps4 peasants were fighting over witch has better graphics... LoL against PC its not even competition... native 4K vs upscaled scam Also kelavia... humans enjoy videogames with mainly two senses, eyesight and hearing.. why we should settle for less than perfect, top of the line graphics? Specially when we are paying for it? Isint the goal to enjoy games to their max potential and not end up as corporate slaves, taking whats given to them?

[@kelavia2112]

Hellsong89 The story is more important in my opinion.

[@memetrain1572]

Clorox Bleach I agree with you mr.bleach even though I'm a console peasant. p.s think of a creative name than that overused bleach bs.

[@muhammadamirrul5666]

Who care about graphics if there are a lot of hacker on pc

[@kelavia2112]

I agree with the point you told me, but in the first part of your comment, the line between console and pc is blurring, plus #projectscorpio

[@jasonanderson589]

That last one about the keyboard is great.

[@AceCrasher24]

This just makes me love PCs even more, none of these are problems and none of these are benefits. PC master race Bois. And it's not like Sony are just copying features we already have on many other devices just to up the price. Most of their console sales are because of exclusives and membership, but in reality it's going to die within a decade. They won't merge with PC and they sure as hell won't quit their exclusives which they will eventually run out of. And I'd like to point out, I think it's stupid how you mention some of these features that are just as hard/easy to find on the xbone. This video acts as. If it's promoting the console, irrelevant that the other consoles, devices already have these features and have had them for years.

[@youngnat]

ThatGuyMike But will the pc die out and why?

[@NeonPegasus1979]

+ThatGuyMike Can't play Persona 5 on a PC :)

[@sitizenkanemusic]

Doesn't xbox one controllers compatible with 3.5mm headphone jacks? Because I'm listening to music on my phone using my xbone headphones.

[@kappage11]

all of the xbox one controllers nowadays also have the ability to attach headphones. so this is a list of things ps4 has that xbox has had forever...

[@matthewsmith2385]

Yep

[@maddman9876]

kappage11 this was filmed like 4 years ago, look at the games he has.

[@anonymousisgamer8945]

[@bootywrecker]

m8 why does that have anything to do with whhat angry gamer just said?

[@ellipticole5575]

hold the home and share buttons at the same time, the LED on the back should start flashing a light blue and then you can connect the PS4 controller to your phone or tablet with Bluetooth. 🎮

[@gavinstraubinger96]

second

[@Monius13]

a lot of people still don't know ps4 has keyboard and mouse support. I'm new to the channel so if you mentioned this elsewhere, sorry. lol it just drives me crazy more people don't know. makes typing so much easier. :)

[@matthewsmith2385]

Xbox can do all of this

[@h3w45]

MLG Shadow Nigh does xbox have all ps4 exeulseive ? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@RageQuitRQ]

hiwa doski ew emojis.

[@wobbliestmaple3478]

[@bootywrecker]

[@MineBro56]

The percentage thing is on Xbone, too.

[@douglasmoulton3137]

first

[@AverageJoeGuitarPlayer]

I did not know about clicking the home button twice. I will have to try that out.

[@SpagettyLettuce]

The video ended and i'm still waiting for it to show me something I didn't know

[@ChocoRobz]

That double tap home button is awesome, i didnt know about that. Now i can netflix while the game loads.

[@ahmdfaiz4937]

FragHero you miss one.If you press PS home button and square simultaneously it will make the picture more big but you cannot play it if your picture is big.Apologies for my English is bad.

[@Dazeencraft]

Things I knew my PS4 couldn't do: Play games at 60 frames per second. You better pin this up lad, or you're gonna have a really bad day.

[@kletus8865]

You can also use the pad like a laptop mouse to type if you don't like the controller motion one I find both are good

[@encryptacat8817]

I use an external microphone with the usb ports, it gives me a higher quality sounding mic. I use an audio technica AT2020 usb+

[@camerondaigle4412]

you can also use the touch pad with ur finger to slide effortlessly from one letter/number/symbol as well when entering anything Instead of the motion control or the d pad and or the thumbsticks!

[@isaiahthemaster4105]

you can also use the touch pad to tipe with and press x to select the letter you want

[@yukumasan5228]

I knew all of them, but I support my bro fragHero

[@jeremywillson869]

I know everything on this list already, except the switching between applications by tapping the home button twice thing

[@CarlosHernandez-cx5cp]

Very Useful I had no idea you could put all audio to the headset I just bout a Playstation 4 so this video was definitely helpful

[@UltraZakii]

...only to find out the thumbnail was all a click bait. Hopefully this channel doesn't appear as a recommendation again.

[@Hotroder-mh9dp]

What about the touch pad on the controller? Use it for the keyboard and some applications

[@Dralyn06]

I just got my first gaming system about 3 months ago. I was hoping to get the vita cos I really wanted to play tlou when I was on long road trips.. Does it really have to be connected to a ps4 in order to play tlou or any dlc's cos I don't wanna spend the money if it doesn't and I can't find any answers on the internet by looking them up.. Someone pls answer this

[@cssplayer91]

3:37 "use any wired headphones other than official playstation ones" is not a feature, its a crippling feature. The ps3 can connect to any wireless bluetooth headset and the ps4 cant

[@r3troassassin334]

On the rating and how rare the acivment is there was the acivment "i came i saw i blew stuff up" like what wrench said in watch dogs

[@calvintsan6278]

When your trying to type, you can use the big rectangular box on your controller as a mouse. It's like touchscreen

[@Ningyo42]

These lists always come with facts I didn't know, but you got me on one. Thanks! But a nit pick... I have a PS4 Pro and an Xbox One, and the Xbox One pad does have a headphone jack. Well, most of them do. The oldest ones don't, but they fixed that pretty quickly. The headset that I use works on both consoles. The Xbox One does have an adapter that lets you control the main volume, as well as volumes of game sound and chat, but it's not necessary to use on the majority of game pads. But then that brings up a question: When I use my headset with my PS4, I get voice chat only from the left side. Is this normal on the PS4?

[@lodown505]

playing on the vita doesnt make the game "portable". its range is roughly 15 to 20 feet (ten if theres a wall between you and the console) and once the signal weakens the game stops.

[@pierreakol3556]

Ps4Gamers: Meh, tell us something we don't know... PcGamers: That it? NintendoSwitchGamers: Holy sh*t

[@spydaman2022]

You can also use your microphone on your headphones to do a voice search in the search bar

[@h8GW]

Dislike for not telling me anything that the system already tells you right out the box. ...Or for anything NOT discovered from a frustrating first week of fruitlessly flipping through menus to get the the PS4 to do something IT COULDN'T but that the PS3 COULD. Also for wasted time writing this comment.

[@nicr1372]

not only does the XboxOne have all of these features but they work 10x smoother.

[@houseslosttribe1351]

I ask this as frontier isp is screwy n I have to set up port frwd somehow without a normal pc Hwvr I'm sure there is a way yet frontier tech support does NOT have reference material to guide through this step any help w be gr8tly appreciated. currently trying to do this through my ps3 Hwvr ltr I'll need instructions on how to do this w ps4 ...thx Warlord

[@RyanPryor1]

You can use any headphones/ headset on the XB1 too

[@Wulven-Hollow]

Can you give us any info about that thumbnail image? That looked pretty neat but you didn't mention it in the video.

[@Blackknight-po6po]

Okay so. Idk if this is happening for anyone else but when i use headphones that have a chat audio and game audio option. I have to use the chat volume to adjust the overall volume of my PS4. Pretty much making the game audio button useless. Is this happening for anyone else? Is there a way to fix it?

[@NishantSengar]

plugging the headset in the controller is a quick and effective way of killing your controller battery

[@RandomVids0987]

You can also use the touch pad to type on the keyboard as well but oh well.

[@ChopSamaHuh]

Woah, sick video dude

[@TamashiSakka]

Also connecting your phone to your ps4 using the apps is extremely useful!!! You can do so much in so little effort and time

[@skywardsmite]

You can use any headset with the Xbone, I have a Xbox and I can use my headsets for my PC without an adapter

[@averagestalkr8354]
