PS5 internal SSD support has been confirmed for an upcoming update, Sony today declared.

“This feature is only available to beta users at this time. The internal M.2 SSD expansion feature will be enabled via an upcoming PS5 system software update. Please check the guide below for more information,” Sony said in an update.

PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 NVMe SSDs with a capacity between 250GB and 4TB will be supported, Sony continued.
