Plug in a compatible USB extended storage
Your PS5 console can access compatible PS4™ and PS5 games saved on external storage devices that support SuperSpeed USB and are between 250GB and 8TB. By shifting your PS4 games onto a USB drive, you can make room on the internal Ultra-High Speed SSD for your PS5 games.

Note you can play your PS4 games straight from the external storage, but to play your PS5 games, you'll need to copy the game data back to your PS5 console's SSD. It's much quicker to copy a PS5 game from USB extended storage than to re-download it.
 
 
Get more space for your PS5 with an M.2 SSD storage expansion
You can now store and play your PS5 and PS4 games, as well as media apps, directly from a compatible M.2 solid state drive installed in your PS5 console. But before choosing a drive to install, you should review the minimum performance and size requirements, and you must download the latest System Software Update to your PS5 console. Click the link below to find out more, then check out our handy installation video.

Use PlayStation®App
If you need a little more space before your next gaming adventure, you can manage your PS5 console's storage using the PlayStation App. Download it for free from Google Play and the App Store.

Delete now, reinstall later
Of course, there's always the option to delete your old games to make space for new ones. But don't worry – they can be redownloaded again later from your Game Library! Simply navigate to Settings > Storage > Games and Apps on your PS5 console to see what you can delete.
