FAQs
Can I play PS4 games from the extended storage on PS5
Yes you can play PS4 games on PS4 using a USB extended storage. You can also play the games you put on the extended storage from the PS4 on the PS5.
Can I play PS5 games from the USB extended Storage
You currently cannot play PS5 games from the USB extended storage. This is because PS5 games are designed to run on the SSD which is way faster than the USB extended storage.
This means that even if Sony later makes it possible to play PS5 games from the USB extended storage, games will be loading slower and you will not be able to play on high resolution with high fps.
