The time has come in just under two weeks: if you’re one of the lucky b******s who was able to order one on time, you can get started with your PlayStation 5 on November 19. Fortunately, you can always connect an old-fashioned external drive via USB, although you cannot play next-gen games from it. Microsoft has developed its own type of SSD sticks together with Seagate, which are available immediately at launch for Xbox Series X and S, but then you pay a whopping € 250 for 1 extra terabyte. However long it will take, it is certain that it will be an expensive joke to properly expand your storage of a next-gen console. It is not known when they expect to be finished with this. Sony first wants to test various SSDs for compatibility itself. PlayStation designer Mark Cerny warned at the announcement that support for this feature would probably only follow after the console launch. Sony has not yet announced which cards are supported and, according to The Verge, the SSD manufacturers themselves do not yet know. This must meet certain specs, including speed, of course. It fits a standard M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD, but it’s not that simple. Not a superfluous luxury, because the custom internal SSD of the PS5 only offers 825 GB, a significant part of which is already occupied by the system software. Until then, the slot where you can insert an extra SSD card will remain disabled.Īt the unveiling of the PlayStation 5, Sony announced that you can expand the storage memory of the console. In the beginning you cannot provide the PlayStation 5 with extra storage memory at all! Sony has confirmed to The Verge that this is something for ‘a future update’. It is perhaps a good thing that not so many next-gen games will be released this year. Officially no support for SSD expansion on launch PS5 And further: the launch triler of Godfall and everything about the endgame of Outriders. Good morning and welcome to the Night Watch on Friday 6 November! A lot of PS5 news today, with a small bullet through the church: for the time being you will not be able to expand your PS5 with extra SSD memory.
