New PS5 update brings the function that all players have been waiting for

The PS5 has been struggling with a big problem since the release: the storage space of the Next-Gen console falls out amazingly small. Thanks to a new update, there is finally a solution.

Beta update for the PS5: New software turns off SSD extension

10 million ps5 consoles Sony has been selling since the release - but since then, many players have been a big problem: The storage space of the Next-Gen console falls amazingly poor . Since games are now more and more capacity for themselves, the fast SSD of the PlayStation 5 is filled quickly for bursting.

But fortunately, the console's memory can be easily expanded thanks to a M.2 slot, right? So far this was not the case, because Sony has deactivated the function. Now, however, a new beta update has been published, which the SSD lock finally picks up and allows you to expand the storage space of your console with a quick PCIe SSD (Source: Sony).
