What is an MC4 file

MC4 files mostly belong to PS4 Save Wizard. MC4 files are binary containers that hold PlayStation 4 game data. They are used to store your saved game progress and sometimes to apply cheat or update modifications.
These files serve several roles within PS4 gaming:
  • PS4 Game Save: They hold the game state, such as levels and achievements.
  • Cheat Functionality: Some MC4 files are modified by tools to introduce cheats.
  • Update Data: Rare cases use them to add updates or patches to saved games.
  • To open an MC4 file, you need specialized software like PS4 Save Wizard or PS4 Save Mounter.
    FilExt.com note: It is wise to always back up your original file before making any changes. Because the file is binary and may include encryption or proprietary data patterns, even small modifications can cause problems with your game data.
