There’s a neverending supply of free next-gen riches available as part of your PlayStation Plus subscription, but what if you don’t have space on your hard drive to host them all? Previously, you were forced to download these wares should you want to add them to your account, but as part of PS4 firmware update 2.00, Sony’s made it possible for you to add these games to your library – without needing to download a kilobyte.
1. Go to the PlayStation Store
From the PS4’s main menu, you’ll find the PlayStation Store icon positioned to the top left of the screen. Push up and navigate to the left to reach it, and select it to enter the PlayStation Store.
2. Access the PlayStation Plus Members Area
If you’re a PlayStation Plus member, you’ll be able to access the PlayStation Plus Members Area from the menu down the left of the PlayStation Store, which includes a list of all of the latest Instant Game Collection titles. Click on one to access its game page.
3. Add to your Library
You’ll have two options on the game page: ‘Download’ or ‘Add to Library’. Push the ‘Add to Library’ button, and, after a brief loading screen, the title will be marked as purchased. This means that you’ll be able to come back and download it at any time – as long as you’re still a PlayStation Plus subscriber. It’s a basic addition, but one that should come in handy if you have a strict ISP or limited free space on your hard drive.

WTF? Did that from day one, because I only own a PS4.
This feature is nothing new. I've been doing this on PS3 for years. I would just confirm purchase and then cancel before it downloaded and then go to downloaded games to redownload at a later date.
Huh, after going to checkout I'm pretty sure its always asked if I wanna download or not.
I thought I could always do this...I remember doing something very similar on the PS3 so I could claim my free games without have to worry about clearing enough memory space for them right away.
yeah on ps3 you had to cancel the download. I called it "tagging" the game for later download. mostly used this for my vita. I hope this feature tags all platforms PS4 PS3 and Vita games at once. Its something every plus member should do even if you don't own them. Just in case you buy one in the future you will have many games taged form the past to download.
WHAT!?!?!? I wish I had known this earlier. God damit!
Hopefully that could come to the PS3 & PSVita to + GOD the PS3 Store is sooooooooo SLOW :-/ I am so used to the FAST PS4 Store now + I downloaded the 3 PS4 games today & they are well good to
@hadlee73 I've been doing the same for ages. That way even if you don't have a vita, ps4 or ps3 when you actually purchase one you will have all the plus games ready to download and install
Easiest way to do it would defiantly going to sonyentertainmentnetwork.com and "buying them" from web store. You can also do this with PS3 And VITA for that matter. Every month I go there even though I don't have a PS3 anymore just to have that back catalog for when I buy another!
