Do not use a standard 2.0 USB stick. Large PKG files (like Red Dead Redemption 2 ~100GB) require sustained read speeds. A USB 3.0 external SSD offers the fastest installation times. Part 3: Step-by-Step – How to Pass PKG Games to PS4 via USB (Top Method) This process assumes your PS4 is already jailbroken (GoldHEN running). Step 1: Format Your USB Drive Correctly The PS4’s internal package installer recognizes two formats: exFAT (recommended) and FAT32 . However, FAT32 cannot handle files larger than 4GB.

No. The PS4's stock Package Installer installs one at a time. However, Itemzflow (a homebrew app) allows queuing multiple PKGs.
Absolutely. USB 2.0 max speed is 480 Mbps (approx 40 MB/s). A 50GB game takes over 20 minutes to install. USB 3.0 at 5 Gbps reduces that to ~5 minutes.
