  • QuestionCan this be used on ps5?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Yes, but it will not work for PS5 games. All PS5 games must be installed on the console's internal SSD.

  • QuestionCan you use it on ps5

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hi, Sony added support for external USB hard drives on the PS5 with their April 2021 update.  However, due to PS5 restrictions, games can only be played off the console’s internal SSD.  As such, external USB storage hard drives only function as a faster way to hot-swap games and data on or off the PS5’s internal storage. -Need Help?
