Don't think you can hide the tiles on the main screen (they would also be visible in library) but you could hide it in a folder they don't use - something like apps and just bury it at the end of the list.

If you buy it on the store then it will show in the library tab. You don't have to download it until Christmas Eve though.

Dont know about the PS4 but I did exactly thisd yesterday on the PS5. I bought the game on my phone in the ps store. In the library on the ps5 i went to the game and pressed the options button and a menu item called "Hide" came up. So i hit X and the game is gone. See if there is a similar operation on the PS4.
