Seagate unveils Game Drive external SSD for PS4 and PS5

Seagate has been launching external Game Drives for consoles for around a decade now, starting in the Xbox One and PS4 generation. We've moved up to external SSDs for the new-gen Game Drives for Xbox Series X/S and now, there is a PlayStation 5 Game Drive SSD hitting the shelves as well. 

The Game Drive SSD is an external drive solution for those who want to take their games on the go or easily transfer them between systems. The PlayStation Game Drive from Seagate is officially licensed by Sony, and you'll get capacities up to 2TB, so you'll easily be able to keep your digital games accessible when Black Ops 6 eats up all of your free install space in October.

Setting the SSD up takes less than two minutes through the PlayStation OS, and you'll benefit from the latest connectivity standards, including USB 3.2. Out of the box, you'll also get a USB-C to USB-C cable, and a handy USB-A to USB-C cable, so you should have no issues plugging the drive into a console or PC. However, do note that current-gen PS5 games will still need to be installed on one of your internal PS5 SSDs. The Game Drive should primarily be used to hold PS4 games, which can run directly from the external drive. It can also be useful to PS5 owners who need extra storage space for saving gameplay clips.

As you would expect, the new PlayStation Game Drive is designed to fit right in with the console, including the sleek blue light bar we've all come to know from the PS4 and PS5. The Seagate Game Drive for PlayStation is available now, priced at £139.99 for the 1TB version and £229.99 for the 2TB version.
