The launch of PlayStation 5 is within touching distance, and the build-up to it is throwing up a number of developments and updates. Each new day brings in heaps of new updates that allow the fans to draw a parallel with its perpetual competitor: Xbox.
PlayStation 5 will support external storage from day one, allowing users to play PS4 titles. However, PS5 titles can’t be shifted to an external disk to free up space. This puts PS5 at crossroads with Xbox Series S/X.
Microsoft’s new-gen console allows players to move the titles to external storage and move them back to internal storage whenever they wish to access them.

While Sony won’t offer this function at launch, it is possible that it will appear via a future system update. Moreover, all hope is not lost as there is one solution in sight.
