PS5 April Update Adds USB External Storage Options
Sony announced the first major system software update for the PlayStation 5 since its launch in November 2020. The PS5 April Update will launch on April 14, 2021 and add storage options long demanded by those lucky enough to get a system early on. Also included are enhancements to the console’s social features and user interface.
The biggest and most qualitative change to come in the PS5 April Update is the addition of the ability to transfer PS5 games to external storage devices plugged into the console’s USB port. One of the PS5’s headline features is its ultra-fast solid state drive, which enables extremely fast load times. However, the SSD’s 825GB of storage is somewhat limited, and the system required that PS5 games be installed to the console’s internal storage to work.
