But  there are still solutions. You could purchase a 4K Blu-ray player, which will  allow you to enjoy 4K content directly. But, if you&#8217;d like to stick to your PS4  without having to buy another device, you can convert the 4K Blu-ray content to  a resolution like 1080p that the PS4 supports, so you can still play the  content on your PS4. <\/p>\n<p>In the following section, I&#8217;ll present a simple way that enables you  to convert 4K Blu-rays. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"part2\" class=\"title2\">How to Play 4K Blu-ray on PS4<\/h2>\n<p>I recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/uhd-ripper\/?utm_source=leawo.com&#038;utm_medium=250811_leawo_uhd_ripper&#038;utm_campaign=1428\"title=\"Leawo UHD Ripper\" target=\"_blank\">Leawo UHD Ripper<\/a> to convert Blu-ray to 1080p,  and it always does a good job.

It supports converting Blu-rays  and DVDs to formats like MKV\/MP4, with options to choose from different  resolutions, subtitles, and audio tracks.

I didn\u2019t  get any playback errors, and the quality stayed sharp even after downscaling to  1080p.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"rec\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/images\/products\/win\/uhd-ripper.jpg\" class=\"highslide\" rel=\"highslide\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Leawo UHD Ripper\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/images\/products\/win\/uhd-ripper.jpg\" alt=\"Leawo UHD Ripper\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>\n<p align=\"left\"><a style=\"font-size: 20px;\" title=\"Leawo UHD Ripper\" href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.com\/uhd-ripper\/?utm_source=leawo.com&#038;utm_medium=250811_leawo_uhd_ripper&#038;utm_campaign=1428\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Leawo UHD Ripper<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Rip 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray to Video\/Audio in 180+ formats with Hardware Acceleration and 100% Original Quality Retained<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul-inside\">\n<li>Edit 4K UHD Blu-ray Movie for Output Video.<\/li>\n<li>Maintain multiple audio tracks, subtitles and angles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><a class=\"rec-dl-win\" href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.com\/downloads\/uhd-ripper.html?utm_source=leawo.com&#038;utm_medium=250811_leawo_uhd_ripper&#038;utm_campaign=1428\">Download<\/a><a class=\"rec-dl-mac\" href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.com\/downloads\/uhd-ripper.html?sys=mac&#038;utm_source=leawo.com&#038;utm_medium=250811_leawo_uhd_ripper&#038;utm_campaign=1428\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"title6\"> Step 1: Load 4K UHD Blu-ray Files<\/h3>\n<p>Ok, first install the software and launch it.

Connect Your PS4  Pro to a 4K Supported Display<\/h3>\n<p>First, use a 4K supported HDMI cable to connect your PS4 PRO to your  4K TV or monitor. I use Cable Matters 48Gbps Ultra HD HDMI Cable, and you can  choose similar products.
