Why Delete Games From Your PS5?

The PS5 comes with a 1TBhard drive, but you only have about 660 GB of usable storage.

Alternatively, instead of deleting games, move them to a compatible USB external hard drive.

The OK command

A 2021 PS5 update includes this off-loading ability, which is a great way to free up space.

When you’re ready to play the game, copy it back to your internal storage.

The game will even automatically update if a newer version came out while it was in USB extended storage.
