PS5 New Storage Options – April
The update PS5 users have been waiting for is here. While it doesn’t solve all the issues, it does solve a big one. PS5 users can now transfer their games from their hard drive to USB extended storage.
You can also copy the games BACK to the internal storage seamlessly when you’re ready to give it another playthrough. Transferring from USB to hard drive is also considerably faster than re-downloading the game (or transferring it from a disc, if you have the disc version).
Keep in mind that PS5 games are meant to be played with their ultra-fast SSDs, so they can’t be run off external storage/USBs.
PS5 New Social Options
PS4 and PS5 players can now Share Play together while chatting in parties. This means that PS5 console users can let their friends on PS4 consoles view their game screen, or even try out the PS5 games through Share Play, and vice-versa. Options include the ability to share your screen with a friend, pass your controller virtually to a friend, or pass a second controller virtually to play co-op games together.
A selection of your friends’ joinable game sessions will also now appear on both PS5 and PS4 consoles, allowing for more gameplay opportunities together. The “Request to Join” option also serves as a shortcut to sending a game invite, reducing the time it takes for you to get into games with friends.
