PlayStation 5’s April update will launch globally on April 14 and brings extensive support for external USB storage to install next-gen games, cross-gen Share Play between PS4 and 5 as well as new features for the PlayStation App on mobile devices.

With this update, you can easily transfer and play your games from an external USB storage device. Sony says that “it’s a great way to extend the storage capabilities of your consoles, and you can copy your PS5 games back to the console’s internal storage when you’re ready to play.”

The update also brings several QoL features including,

Improved Game Base
Disable Game Chat or Adjust Players’ Volume
Game Update Pre-Downloads
