It seemed that this news would never arrive but at last Sony has made a statement in its official website in which he advertises the ability to add an external hard drive in the next update. This is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated news for PlayStation 4 users since the console continues to be sold with a 500 GB hard drive and a 1 TB hard drive, but games are taking up more space and it was evident that a measure of this type was necessary today. So once they release the update 4.50 of the operating system, users will see support for an external hard drive implemented.
In this respect, the maximum capacity of this hard drive will be up to 8 TB with USB 3.0 connection so users can enjoy much more space on the console for games. The 500 GB version has always been a somewhat scarce version and as I said at the beginning, the 1 TB version was already falling quite short also because of the space that games currently occupy. This will also prevent users from having to change the internal hard drive despite having an external drive to carry around in the case of moving the console.
By connecting an external hard drive, you will be able to access everything from the PS4 home screen, as always. In addition to the improvement expected and desired by all the owners of this console, the company adds in this update the option to add wallpapers to suit the user and the option to watch 3D movies with the PlayStation VR glasses. This version enters tomorrow in beta form with code name: Sasuke, for the chosen users and in the near future for the rest of the users.
