PlayStation 5 owners can finally use extended storage for games with new update

An upcoming update for the PlayStation 5 will make it a lot easier to store your downloadable video games. Sony announced Tuesday it is rolling out the first major software update Wednesday for the PS5 since launching last November. The top feature coming to the video game console is support for external USB drives for storing PS5 games. If you run out of space on your PS5, you can transfer games onto an external USB stick to make more room. However, users can't play those games directly from the USB stick or download games directly to the drive, says Sony.
