PS5 Beta Software Unveils Game-Changing Features: 8TB SSD Support and Dolby Atmos Integration

Sony has introduced an exciting array of new features with the latest PS5 beta software, expanding the capabilities of the console significantly. Starting immediately, users will now be able to harness the power of 8TB SSDs, among other advancements.

Previously, PS5 users were limited to utilizing SSDs up to 4TB in capacity since mid-2021. However, the new system software beta, as announced on the PlayStation Blog, elevates this limit to a whopping 8TB. For gamers who frequently download titles from the PS Plus Game Catalog, this upgrade is a game-changer, especially with the decreasing prices of Gen 4 NVMe SSDs as Gen 5 models become more prevalent in the PC realm. With 8TB models becoming available for approximately $800 / £800 / AU$1,200, users will have abundant storage space for all their gaming needs.
