There needs to be a better way of updating games (lemmy.world)

How can it be 2023 and this console still fails to keep all of your games updated, or at least offering a button to manually update every game installed by a single click.

It feels like it only checks for updates for the last 15 games or so you played, which is an upgrade over the like 5 on the ps4, but all of a sudden I want to play rb6s with friends, which I haven't played in months and I gotta wait for like 30 GBs of updates first.

Also there's no easy way to update games in the library at all. Select game, open the games page, click play game.. wait for 5 seconds, then close game again. And if you have a disk Version, you even have to insert the disk first.

How come my phone is easily able to keep 200+ apps up2date with ease, yet a home console that's plugged in and connected to the Internet at all times struggles to do so.

I have never had any issues with this. Every night it goes into rest mode and every day after work everything I have installed that has an update has been updated, even games I haven't touched in months. The only exception is when games push updates later in the day and the update just gets out when I get off work but that isn't a console issue and just an inconvenient timing.

Question, how many games do you have? Because in the beginning, it was the same for me. But I've added an SSD and put an external for my PS4 games and as said, it's only updating the last played what feels like 15 or so. Anything I have sitting downloaded, almost unused, is never getting updated.

It works just fine if you use the console like 'vanilla'. Install like 6-10 AAA games that fit in the internal storage and all will be updated, but especially with a psvr2 now that has 20 smaller titles installed for itself, I might not come back to those games for a while and play other games in the meantime, means they won't get updated. Then I'm playing VR for a week, several different games, take a break for a month and my regular games haven't been updated.

The play and app store have figured this out by having a check for all updates and update all button, I really wish the ps5 could simply do the same. Or just actually keep all games updated in rest mode without doing anything, that would actually be the best. Because I'm also having my ps5 in rest mode 99% of the time I'm not using it

Currently I have about 20 games installed on the main drive. Granted they're mostly smaller indie titles and then elden ring and destiny are the only large games I have. Never touched VR and I try to keep my installed games list small just because I like having space when something I've been waiting for comes out.

Yea but you see, you can easily have lots of games installed. And manually updating all of them just isn't an option.
