This drive will be able to be used to store PS4 games to be played on PS5, but it will NOT be able to store PS5 games. Sony stated this in their hardware presentation. The only expansion drives that will be able to store PS5 games are certain NVME SSDs. Sony intends to release a list of verified NVME drives that offer enough bandwidth to support their custom drive controller later this year or early next year.

Hi Devlyn, The WD My Passport external drive can be connected to PS5 as external storage. The hard drive comes pre-formatted for Windows computer, reformatting may be required to make it work with PS5. Please refer to the link mentioned below for more information.

That's a great question but to be honest I think the best way to get your answer is through a Sony Support. They should be able to assist you with that accurate answer
