Sony has added support for external storage on the PlayStation 5 as part of a new update for the console.
The move means that gamers no longer have to rely on the internal hard drive to store all of their games. However, like the Xbox Series X | S solution, there are some caveats.
Users will not be able to play PS5 games stored on an external hard drive or SSD. Instead, the system essentially lets you store titles on a different storage device to make room for additional games. Players can then transfer the data again without having to download the software again.
Sony reiterated that it is working on a solution to allow users to expand the PS5’s internal storage via M.2 drives. These will support playing games without the software having to be directly on the PS5’s internal SSD.
The update also brings a number of changes to the social aspects of the console. New options include the ability to join friends playing on PS4 from the dashboard, a Share Play feature that allows remote play, and a zoom function so users can zoom in on the screen.
The latest update is expected to be released for most players on April 14th.
