Want to upgrade your PlayStation 5 storage? In this video, I’ll show you step-by-step how to install an M.2 SSD in a PS5 so you can add more space for games, apps, captures, and updates. Since Sony announced that discs will no longer be available in the near future, this has brought attention to potential storage needs. That said, disc vs digital doesn’t change the amount of storage needed. But as game files get larger and larger, having more storage is going to be necessary.
I’ll walk through the full PS5 SSD installation process, including removing the side cover, accessing the SSD expansion slot, installing the M.2 drive, securing it properly, and formatting the SSD on the PlayStation 5. This guide is beginner-friendly and designed to make the upgrade easy, even if you’ve never opened your PS5 before. Check out the full video and let me know if you have any questions. And as always, thanks for watching!
