Install games without leaving Orbit

For Orbit Store 0.0.2 for PS4.

Install a downloaded game

1. Finish downloading the game to your PS4. Orbit unpacks ZIP, RAR and 7z downloads first.
2. Open the finished entry in Downloads and choose Downloaded files or Install on PS4.
3. If it has several packages, choose the one you want to install.
4. Select Install on PS4 and follow its installation status.

The same controls are in the TV app, the browser and Orbit Zero, in all four interfaces. Downloading and installing have separate progress: a finished download means the files are saved, not that the game is installed.

The PS4 installs to its own installation storage. Choosing a download drive doesn’t choose where the game installs. Allow space for both copies during installation. Downloaded PKG and FPKG files stay on the drive by default.

To delete a downloaded package after it installs, turn on App settings → Storage & cleanup → Installed packages → Delete packages after installing. It’s off by default. If installation fails or the file changed after it was checked, Orbit keeps it. Archive cleanup has its own setting.

Installation needs a jailbroken PS4 with GoldHEN. It doesn’t change a game’s firmware, licence or jailbreak requirements. Orbit doesn’t start or uninstall games.

Install from Files

Open Library → Files, select a PKG or FPKG file, and choose Install on PS4. See Files.

Install from Orbit Zero

In Orbit Zero, you can download to This computer without a connected PS4. When you’re ready, pair or reconnect your PS4 and choose Send to PS4. After the transfer finishes, choose Install on PS4 in Downloads, or open Downloaded files and choose it there.

Installation runs on the PS4, not on your computer. Keep the PS4 awake and Orbit running on it. Stream & install, which installs straight from the computer without a copy on the PS4, isn’t available for PS4 yet.

Add-ons and bundles

Find DLC on Add-ons, or use Add-ons (count) from a game’s details. See the DLC guide for the content types and download choices.

Review the required base-game edition, title ID and known version requirements before installing DLC. A matching title ID alone doesn’t confirm compatibility, and seeing the base game in Library doesn’t mean its DLC is installed.

For a bundle, select and install each package you want. Orbit doesn’t install the whole bundle automatically, fetch missing game updates or choose the installation order. Activation packages need their content to already be in the base game.

If installation needs attention

• The button is missing: the download must have finished on the PS4. Only PKG and FPKG files can be installed; game images and game folders aren’t supported on PS4.
• The original drive is unavailable: reconnect the drive that holds the downloaded file. Orbit keeps the download’s original location rather than picking a different copy.
• The installer reports an error: follow the message and check space, package compatibility and GoldHEN. The downloaded file is kept for another try.
• The installer reports a conflict with an installed game: Orbit keeps the installed game and your downloaded file and shows the error. It never uninstalls a game by itself.
• Installation status is unconfirmed: use Check installation when offered and check the PS4 home screen. Orbit doesn’t send an uncertain installation again by itself after a restart or a lost response.

For a report, include the Orbit version, the game or add-on, its format, the drive and the exact installation error. Keep the files while investigating.
