In the grand scheme of things in regards to PlayStation 5, it is better in most ways to its predecessor – the PlayStation 4. Ranging from the significantly improved loading times, higher framerates, greater resolution output, and the support for backwards compatibility of games from its former. However, there are certainly some takeaways from the next-generation console that is expected to be included in the box.

For one, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) is absent from the hardware, for now that is. While Xbox Series X|S both offer the feature which fine tunes how games perform even with technical anomalies, they offer to be an answer most games could only dream of for last-generation titles. However, Sony Interactive Entertainment does comment support is due for later on.

As for more updates that are due for the coming future, Bloomberg presses that there is more on the horizon for this summer. But rather than for VRR, the publication presses that there is a window for the long-expected expandable storage for the console. Oddly enough, the unit currently is not compatible with additional memory drives for players to carry over games from the PlayStation 4.

In the report, Bloomberg issues that Sony plans to enable support for the internal M.2 drive for a second solid state drive to be placed in the now-empty slot. On Xbox, Microsoft welcomes third-party drives including adapters to take advantage of more space atop of its partnered Seagate expandable 1 TB cartridge as well. Bloomberg also indicates the firmware update will also enter higher cooling fan clocks to reduce overheating of the system.

Outside of storage still not fully compatible with PlayStation 5, the PlayStation VR headset is still well-restrained on the system as well. But, Sony Interactive Entertainment announced a dedicated virtual reality headset for PlayStation 5 is in the works as we speak. You can read the full report by heading here.
