Change DNS Server is not a necessary step before play games, but if you need to download big gaming files or plan on gaming online on your PS4, you should definitely consider choosing a good DNS server.
DNS (Domain Name System) server, helps your connection find the IP address of the server its trying to connect to. Some of the potential benefits of using a better DNS include faster downloads, faster browsing in the PSN stores, better connections and pings.

Follow the points below to change the DNS server on your PS4:
