Sony Confirms No SSD Expansion for PS5 Right After Launch

Sony has confirmed earlier reports that claimed the PlayStation 5 console will not offer the option expand SSD memory right after launch.

As early as March 2020, Sony's hardware system architect Mark Cerny announced that the PlayStation 5 console will not support SSD memory expansion from the start. However, some things may have changed a bit in recent months, so The Verge asked the Japanese company for a confirmation. And they got it, so we can officially say that nothing has changed in this regard. We will get this possibility only after one of the future system updates. PS5 has a socket for M.2 SSD, but it will be unusable for now.

His adventure with journalism began with a personal blog, the name of which is no longer worth quoting. Then he interpreted Iranian dramas and the Joker, writing for cinematography journal, which, sadly, no longer exists. His writing credentials include a degree in film studies, but his thesis was strictly devoted to video games. He has been writing for Gamepressure since March 2020, first writing a lot about movies, then in the newsroom, and eventually, he became a specialist in everything. He currently edits and writes articles and features. A long-time enthusiast of the most bizarre indie games and arthouse cinema. He idolizes surrealism and postmodernism. He appreciates the power of absurdity. Which is probably why he also tried soccer refereeing for 2 years (with so-so results). He tends to over-philosophize, so watch out.
