To update your PS4 from version 4.74 without a Blu-ray drive, you can use a USB flash drive to perform a manual update. First, ensure your flash drive is formatted to FAT32. Download the latest PS4 firmware from the official PlayStation website and save it in a folder named "PS4" on the root of the USB drive, and within that folder, create another folder named "UPDATE." Rename the firmware file to "PS4UPDATE.PUP" and place it in the "UPDATE" folder. Insert the USB drive into your PS4, go to Settings > System Software Update, and select the USB drive to start the update process. This should allow you to update without the need for a working Blu-ray drive.

To optimize your PlayStation 5 for the best video quality on your 4K HDR TV, set the resolution to 4K (2160p) and enable HDR in the PS5 settings under Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output, ensuring that HDR is set to "On When Supported." For VRR and ALLM, go to Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output and turn on "Enable VRR" and "Enable ALLM." When checking video output information, ensure the resolution shows 4K and that HDR is listed as active. For recording and streaming, choose the "1080p" resolution at 60fps for a good balance between quality and storage efficiency, and consider using the "Low" quality preset for recordings to save space.
