PS5 Storage Tip: USB Extended Storage Limits
If your PS5 is running low on space before installing another game, you can use USB extended storage to offload game data. However, PS5 games stored on a USB drive cannot be played directly from it; you must move them back to the console's internal storage or a compatible M.2 SSD before launching.
For playable storage, use the built-in console storage or install a compatible M.2 SSD. Meanwhile, screenshots and video clips can be copied to a FAT- or exFAT-formatted USB drive, though not every device is compatible. Have you tried managing your PS5 storage with an external drive?
