On April 14, 2021, the first major update for the PS5 console will arrive. Many users around the world were waiting for this to happen so that Sony would correct some of the inconvenience of using their machine and add new functions.
These are the news that this update will bring.
Storing PS5 games on external USB drives
Thanks to this update, we will finally be able to move PS5 games to extended USB storage from your console’s internal disk. It’s a great way to expand your console’s storage capacity.
Of course, keep in mind that PS5 games are designed to take advantage of the console’s high-speed SSD, so they cannot be played on extended USB storage. They also cannot be downloaded directly to it. However, games that you transfer to or copy to internal storage will automatically update when applicable. In addition, they can select the game modes they want to install (such as campaign or multiplayer) for titles that allow this option.

PS4 and PS5 players be able to use intergenerational Share Play together while chatting in groups. Thanks to this, users of PS5 consoles will be able to make their friends see their game screens or test the games through Share Play even if they play on PS4 and vice versa.
Thanks to the April 14 update, we will also be able to submit requests to join a game session to friends who play on a PS4 from PS5 or vice versa.
