Latest PS5 Firmware Update To Add In SSD Storage, 3D Audio, And Trophy Tracking

Good news for people wanting to add more storage to their PS5s: the next major firmware update for the new PlayStation console will add in the following:

  • M.2 SSD storage expansion support,
  • UX enhancements, 3D audio for built-in TV speakers,
  • PlayStation Trophy trackers

The SSD expansion option is clearly the most-requested feature from every user out there who aren’t satisfied with the 875GBs-or-less they have to work with. There’s even a F.A.Q. on how to add an M.2 SSD to your PS5 console. Here are the basic answers and a how-to video that goes step-by-step:
