Modern game consoles have very many updates, mainly to fix bugs. But some software versions also bring their share of new features and this is the case today for Sony’s PlayStation 5 (PS5).

There is also a new storage side, since the PS5 now allows you to expand its capacity with an SSD in M.2 format up to 8 TB, once morest 4 TB previously, in addition to the 825 GB of the SSD delivered with the machine. . Be careful though, not all M.2 SSDs are compatible with the PS5.
Another significant new feature, it will now be possible to adjust the volume or mute the beeps that the console emits when switching on, switching off and switching to rest mode. Convenient for night gamers!
Other improvements concern the interface of the console, aiming in particular to make it easier to use.
