Nobody I know with a PS4 even knew (or cared) that you could do this, but I appreciate that you can tailor it to your tastes and make everything look a little less messy. I have folders for PSN games, disc games, free to play PSN games, PS Plus games and unplayed games. I started with just the latter as like many people nowadays, your unplayed list get out of hand if you let it How about you? Do you use the folder options? If so, what do you use them for? I'd be interested to know if anyone has any suggestions. |
Do you tidy up your PS4 xmb with the folder options?

Registered 9 years agoI have:
Currently playing
Next - Disc
Next - Digital
Multiplayer
PSVR
Separated disc and digital mostly because otherwise there would be approx 100 in one folder, but also influences what to play next if I either want to clear space on the console (digital) or physically clear space by playing and selling the disc. -

Registered 19 years agoOngoing games are loose, completed games are in an 'old games' folder, miscellaneous apps are in a 'misc' folder.
Exciting stuff.

Registered 10 years agoHaven't heard it called the XMB for a while, but on the PS4 I only have the one folder set up for VR games.
Having said that, on my Vita I've got the games seperated by genre due to the volume of games on the 64GB card it really is the only way to do it.
Folders include, but not limited to, Useless Guff (because I can't delete Near for some reason) Action, Stealth, RPG, Puzzle, Platformer, Roguelike, Shooter, Adventure, Sport, Indie and so on and so forth.
I mean I could set these up on the PS4... but I'm not sure it wouldn't make it look a bit scrappy compared to a line of clean game slates.

Registered 19 years agoWhen folders were added I found it a Godsend. I currently use a mixture of Genre and type of game.
Arcade (for your Resogun style quick play games)
Action (Bloodborne, Dark Souls 2+3, Nioh ..)
Open World RPG (Skyrim, HZD, GTA5 ..)
Shooter (Battlefield, Doom, Borderlands ..)
Sports (WWE -dont judge me, Fifa, some golf game ..)
Indie (Minecraft, Terraria, Binding of Isaac ..)
VR (Super..........Hot, Rush of Blood, Ultrawings ..)
I have a few more but you get the gist. I do the account sharing trick with a friend and we both only buy digital and take it in turns so the library is pretty large especially with the plus titles, so anything not immediately gash gets installed on the 2Tb external drive and put into the relevant folder. -
I've got four:
* "Downloadables" (games that I have to download from the PSN store so those are the last ones I delete when I need space)*
* "Back burner" (for games that I've got quite far in but couldn't quite bring myself to keep playing)
* "Multiplayer" (stuff like Monopoly that I really only play with the wife)
* "Useless shit" (stuff like The Playroom that I'll never use but can't delete) -
No.
I like to scroll through all my games.. ALL MIIIIINE -

Registered 18 years agoFolders on ps4 are shite. Can’t use it for digital games unless they’re installed.
Waste of fucking time. -
Yes, I use folders. Digital, Disc and APPS -
Apps, VR, and Indie (with about 30 titles in it). Leaves the big games to just float along the bar.
