First, make sure to back up any data you want to keep. Then go to Settings > Initialization > Initialize PS4, and choose the “Full” option. This will erase all your data and restore it to factory settings. Happy selling!

To wipe your PS4 for selling, back up important data first, then head over to Settings > Initialization > Initialize PS4, and select the “Full” initialization option. This will completely reset your system.

Did this myself when selling my PS4 last month. Just back up your saves, then navigate to Settings > Initialization > Initialize PS4, and pick 'Full' to wipe it. Worked like a charm!
