You see, that’s the kind of thing we need on the new PS+. Day one releases of smaller games like this, a new one for each fortnightly refresh or at least one a month.

Stray looks amazing and cant wait for that, will be day 1 for me either purchase or ill upgrade my PS+ sub
Resi 4 i loved so will be all in on the remake, i never played the Wii version tho which i now have so i may give that a go while i wait. Ive not played either of the 2 remakes (which is weird as ive played every other mainline resi), might pick those up when the PS5 patch comes, is there any word on those dates?

People who have added an SSD to their PS5: Do you find the game update copy times are any quicker when updating games on the M.2 SSD vs the internal one? These copy times are completely ridiculous, on a 1Gbps connection a 250MB update takes 3 seconds to install but nearly 10 mins (at time of writing as Sniper Elite 5 updates) to copy to allow the game to actually become playable. It's pathetic, and could well push me over the edge of adding an SSD if it makes a decent improvement.

With times like that it makes me think they are not simply replacing files but delta patching to reduce file download sizes.
Yeah, I believe that's part of the process. From what I've read it essentially makes a copy of the data being updated, writes the update, then incorporates that update back into the game files package.
The internal SSD of the PS5 is severely write-limited to reduce wear but it doesn't appear to do the same for M.2 SSDs (as is evident from the tests people have done copying games back and forth) so potentially the whole process could be much quicker on an M.2 drive. Frustratingly it's something Mark Cerny said would be a thing of the past on PS5.

Slowing down write speed doesn't reduce wear
, it still has to write the same amount of data regardless of how fast it does it.Slowing down write speed doesn't reduce wear
Didn't entirely make sense to me either but it's what I've heard, and certainly all indications point towards it having slow write speeds despite the fast reads.

More likely they used cheap QLC NAND with slow write speeds.
Digital Foundry did some tests, the write speed is much, much slower. It takes an age copying things to the internal SSD vs the M.2 drive or even an external USB SSD.
No the write speed to the internal is a lot than the read speed.
The first is on Steam still.
I only have ps5. Bummer.
Shame. X-Men Origins: Wolverine was another great hack 'n' slash game.

Hopefully the new one from Insomniac will do the character justice (although it's a long way off).
It better be a 18 cert or that will kill it for me.
