PS5’s first major update adds a ton of new features and improvements

The PlayStation 5 technically launched five months ago, but countless gamers are still desperate to get their hands on the new console as it continues to pop in and out of stock on a daily basis. Nevertheless, more than 6 million PS5 consoles have been sold as of March, and Sony is finally ready to release the first major software update.

On Tuesday, Sony announced that the PS5 April update will begin rolling out on April 14th, bringing a number of long-awaited new features and improvements to the console. The biggest addition is one that fans have been requesting since before the console even launched. Once the update arrives, PS5 owners will finally be able to transfer their games from the console's internal storage to a compatible USB external hard drive.
