Major update enables PlayStation 5’s M.2 drive, improves game streaming and more

Major update enables PlayStation 5’s M.2 drive, improves game streaming and more The Sony PlayStation 5 has a standard M.2 slot for additional storage, but that was disabled at launch.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 series will not use under display cameras, says Ice Universe
