Also question is, how can I play a ps4 game without updating it?

Disconnect WiFi or Ethernet from your console. This prevents any updates to games or your console. However, it also prevents playing online games. Disable (Uncheck) automatic updates from [Settings] > [System] > [Automatic Downloads]

do you have to update games on ps4? Like all modern games and apps, the games on your PS4 need to be updated occasionally as the developers fix bugs and make changes to the software. You can let your PS4 do this automatically in the background, which is convenient because it will even do this when the PS4 is in standby mode.

Likewise, people ask, can you play ps4 games without installing them?

So no, you cannot play games on any modern console without first going through either a full download and installation (for digital games), or an installation process (for physical disc-based games). Recently I bought a PS4 game from the PlayStation Store with money, but it is taking years to download.

Can I play my ps4 without day one update?

Yes, sort of. The PS4 requires updates to play online or multiplayer. You will not be able to use the shop or play games that require an online connection. Almost all games require a day one update, but you can play without that if you want to play a broken game.
