Sony has rolled out the first major software update for PlayStation 5. The global rollout brings several new features and improvements, including the ability to store gamers in external devices. The limited storage on PlayStation 5 was a point of concern for many gamers. The new-gen console had a solid-state drive (SSD) with 825GB. Out of this, some is already occupied by the system, so you eventually get just 667.2GB. This is a major problem as you have limited storage to download games. With the rollout of the new update, gamers will be able to store more titles on compatible USB drives. The feature will allow users to their transfer their PS5 games to USB extended storage from your console’s internal storage. Now, this is definitely a great feature but, there is a catch too. The users will not be to run the transferred games directly from their storage device. To access them, they will still have to transfer the gamers back to the console’s internal storage. Sony claims that it will be faster to reinstall PS5 games from USB extended storage than to re-download or copy them from a disc.
