If you have your PlayStation 4 set so that updates automatically download in the background while it's in rest mode, you may want to check to see what exactly was downloaded while you were away. PlayStation makes this simple in a three-step process.

How to check previous downloads on PS4

1. On the home screen, go to Notifications.

1. Press the Options button on your controller.

1. Select Downloads from the menu that pops up on the right of your screen.

It's as easy as that. You'll be able to see everything that was downloaded in your history — from games, updates, themes, apps, and more — and what date they were downloaded on. This page also allows you clear them from the list to keep it nice and clean if it's looking too cluttered.
