that's disappointing to hear.

I bought a fat ass external hard drive for my PS4, and I was hoping that I could just attach it to the back of a PS5, if I ever move on to one.

You can play PS4 games off of it still

PS5 games would be too slow to load. Well, games made for PS5 of which there's like 3.

The point is to store the games so you don't have to download the games/updates in the future

Xbox is the same, you can't play series x games off an external drive but you can play Xbox one games
