A user interface review movie published by Digital Foundry revealed that it is not possible to copy game data stored on a PS5 SSD and move it to external storage. In addition, it has been found that save data for games for PS5 cannot be transferred to external storage.
In other words, if the PS5 is full of storage and you can no longer install new games, you will have to delete the old game data. However, it is possible to transfer the PS4 game data installed on PS5 to an external USB storage.
This is because next-generation titles for PS5 will only run from the PS5's internal storage. This specification is the same for Xbox Series X, but in Xbox Series X, the dedicated title cannot be executed from the external storage, but it can be copied to the external storage. Therefore, even if you do not completely delete the game data, you can move it to the external storage and save it, and then move it to the main unit storage when you play again.
In addition, PS5 has an M.2 interface for expansion storage, but it has become clear that this interface can not be used at the time of release. In addition, PS5 has a storage capacity of 825 GB, and it has been found that the actual usable capacity will be further reduced to 667 GB, so the specification that game data can not be transferred to external storage is a large number of games. It seems to be a big problem for users who try to install and play.

As of PS4, some game data is over 100GB, and it's clear that more titles will have a data size of over 100GB on PS5, so Digital Foundry's Richard Lead said, 'Sony. I sincerely hope that will address this as an urgent issue. '
