How to eject a disc on PS4 - two ways to remove a disc from your PlayStation 4

If you've only just bought yourself a PS4 then you might still be learning about all of the ins and outs of using it. It's a natural and rather fun part of getting a new console.

You might not know that you can turn on your console by holding the PlayStation button on your PS4 controller, for example.

You might also not be sure of how to eject your discs from the console. Despite it seeming like an easy task, some of the PS4 variants aren't very well marked.

So, here's how to eject a PS4 disc and the multiple ways you can do it.

How to eject a PS4 disc using a button

The main way that most people will use to eject a disc on PS4 will be to use the button on their PS4. The thing is, it's not always in the same place, and it depends entirely on what kind of PS4 you have.

On an original PS4, the button is essentially invisible, but it's the bottom vertical line on the front of your console. Push this and you'll eject the disc.

The slim version of the PS4 is on the lower of the two horizontal slits across the front of your PS4 on the right-hand side.

The PS4 Pro has the button on the left-hand side at the front, and it's a tiny little button next to the power one. At least it's marked properly.
