However, some PS4 gamers have still encountered a number of problems and issues when playing with the PS4, but subsequently, the PlayStation support site has found a number of fixes to ensure maximum experience for those who are able to play games on Sony's next-gen console.

Ejecting discs from the PS4

One of the more encountered and popular PS4 problems would be the trouble of ejecting discs from the PS4 console.

According to GameZone, Sony has not yet identified the cause of this problem, which means a permanent fix is not yet available.

In the PlayStation Support site, you are first asked to know which kind of title you are trying to eject, if you have installed any game data at the time of the issue, if you see any notifications before the problem came, and if you have already attempted to troubleshoot the PS4 console.

In addition, those who want to get a stuck disc out of the console, Sony has a step-by-step picture manual to show you the steps, but this takes more than just your usual button-pressing to eject. You'll be needing a Phillips-head screwdriver to pop open the PS4 console.

Encountering an endless "Installing Application" loop

Digital upgrade has been allowed for games that have been released earlier for current-gen consoles. And according to some gamers via the PlayStation support forum thread, it's not impossible to encounter the endless application loop error.

Some of the games that have already been listed to be vulnerable to this kind of error include "Battlefield 4," "Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag" and "Call of Duty: Ghosts."
