The PlayStation 5 may have a fast storage expansion port waiting to be used, but Sony has now unlocked external USB storage options in the first major PS5 console update since it launched.
As reported on the PlayStation.Blog, with the latest system update installed, it s now possible for PS5 owners to connect a compatible USB drive and transfer games to it. PS5 games can t be played from USB storage (PS4 games can), but Sony points out it s a great way to keep a local backup, and that it is faster to reinstall PS5 games from USB extended storage than to re-download or copy them from a disc.

Only encountered a few bugs so far on the PS5, mostly involving the media remote. Sometimes the menu (when you press the playstation button) doesn’t appear if I turned on the PS5 using the media remote, I then have to switch off the PS5 manually. Also the console crashes instantly if I press the Youtube button to turn on the PS5.Log in to reply MrYd 13/04/21, 15:53
Looks like it only lets you move things between the internal and external storage. Would be nice to be able to back things up to the external and leave them on the internal as well.
