Playstation 5 Won T Support Ssd Storage Expansion At Launch Confirms Sony

Sony has reiterated that the PlayStation 5 won’t support storage expansion at launch, even though it has a dedicated internal M.2 SSD slot. It will, however, be activated with a future update, although, there’s no ETA for when that might happen. The confirmation comes from Sony, which released a statement to The Verge on Thursday, stating that the feature “is reserved for a future update”.

According to Cerny, Sony will take the extra time to ensure the compatibility of all SSD drives with Sony’s I/O controller. That’s because not all M.2 SSDs are fast enough to keep up with the PS5, nor thin enough to fit into its SSD bay, he said. However, neither Cerny then nor the Sony spokesperson now has officially revealed a possible ETA for the update.
