A "dark archive" model, where encrypted, non-executable dumps are stored in a single, access-controlled library (e.g., Internet Archive’s Redump project), released only after the console’s commercial death. The PS4 is likely not "dead" until at least 2028–2030.

A PS4 ROMs archive is essentially a digital library that stores and provides access to a vast collection of PS4 ROMs. These archives are usually maintained by enthusiasts or groups of gamers who are passionate about preserving and sharing games. The archives can be accessed online, and users can browse through the collection, download the ROMs they want, and play them on their devices.

Finding and using PS4 ROMs (commonly called PKG files) is a more involved process than older consoles because it requires specific console firmware and software to run them.

If you are looking to secure your own library rather than downloading third-party archives, Sony provides official tools: External Backups : You can archive your entire library to a USB drive via Settings > System > Back Up and Restore Cloud Storage
