Only for backwards compatibility titles. PS5 titles have to be run off of either the integrated storage or an M.2 SSD.
Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade
Prox@lemmy.world 2 days agoAre you able to expand the PS5’s storage with just a normal USB 3.0 drive?

You can, but you can’t play games from it, it would be storage only. You’d have to move it to internal memory to play it.

Okay, so isn’t that exactly the same situation as the Xbox, but then the Xbox gives you the additional option to actually expand the hot storage?
jordanlund@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Yup. On the PS5, you can add standard M2 storage to increase the usable internal space.
On the Xbox you have to use the Seagate or WD plug.
