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 can’t even fit 15 games on the PS5, so updating the last 15 games means it’s going to update all my games. Fine by me.

And if a game is not in your last 15 games, what are the odds of you going back to play it any time soon?

I've got like 15 psvr2 games in about 150gb storage already. And well, chances are quite high, as I'm playing lots of different games usually.

In total, I just checked, I have 44 games installed. Idk. Some games I just download as I might play them again with friends one day, like GTA online or rainbow 6. I play them like twice a year, but when I do want to play them, I have to download an update first, which is annoying af. Especially as I'm having my ps5 in rest mode anyways.
