Sony is rolling out the second major system software update for the PlayStation 5 today and it's perhaps the most important to date -- namely because it sees the arrival of M.2 SSD Storage expansion support. And with that players will be able to expand the space they have to fire up PS5 games using the system's blazingly fast SSD speeds.

As per our previous report, due to the system specs of the PS5 being on the high end when it comes to storage, only certain drives will be supported. With the Seagate FireCuda 530 (link here) being one -- and one we will be testing in full in the coming days so stay tuned on that front. Plus, it solves the issue of what drive to get right out of the gate.

Here's a breakdown of the updates coming, including expanded 3D audio support and new social features.
