Sony has just confirmed that the upcoming PS5 Slim console will continue supporting expandable storage, which is great news for game enthusiasts needing extra space! According to a PlayStation representative, there will be "no changes with the new model," which means users can still add an extra SSD by removing the console's back cover.

Notably, the PS5 Slim will provide more memory than the original version, featuring 1TB of internal SSD storage compared to the previous 825GB. This extra storage is a big selling point for the PS5 Slim and comes in handy given the hefty file sizes of blockbuster games these days.

New users should bear in mind that not just any M.2 SSD can be used with the PS5 - it needs to be a PCIe Gen4 type. However, despite Sony's requirements for read speeds, many users found that slower SSDs also work in the console.

There's another exciting update: a recent software upgrade now allows up to 8TB of additional SSD storage on the system, which is a great bonus.

The PS5 Slim is set to be launched soon, so stay tuned for more updates. If you're considering getting a PS5, it's worth checking out the best PS5 SSD deals. And let's not forget that last month's update now also allows you to use up to 8TB of extra SSD storage!
