What Happens if I Initialize My PS4?
Initializing your PS4 means it's going back to day one, like it just came out of the box. All your saved data, downloaded games, and settings will be deleted. Not kidding, you'll lose everything!

When you initialize your PS4, it will restore the system to its factory settings. Basically, all your data, games, and settings will be wiped clean. So make sure you back up anything important before taking the plunge!
I initialized mine once, and lost all my saved games. It was like starting afresh, but make sure to back up to the cloud or an external drive!
Hot take: Initializing is like hitting the reset button on life. Sometimes you just need a clean slate, but be ready to lose everything on the console.
