The PS5 will receive a fresh firmware update before the end of 2021, but a beta version is already accessible to some participants in numerous regions. Notably, PS5 will make adjustments to one of the dashboard’s most criticized features – the Trophy Tracker!
The Verge has detailed the latest UI factors arriving in the PlayStation 5, but one, in particular, has captured our attention. Since its release, trophy tracking has become a headache. It takes too many keystrokes from the dashboard to go over your complete trophy record!

Initially, trophies were displayed in a horizontal list that scrolled left to right, but now they can be viewed vertically, similar to how they were on the PlayStation 4. Users will be able to see more details about each trophy without having to constantly select it, thanks to this minor but greatly appreciated change.
Beta Update: New Features
PlayStation also revealed on their website that the upcoming PS5 beta update will include M.2 SSD support, which has been requested by consumers since the release of the console!
| Interface | PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 NVMe SSD |
| Capacity | 250GB – 4TB |
| Cooling structure | Using an M.2 SSD with your PlayStation 5 console requires effective heat dissipation with a cooling structure, such as a heatsink. You can attach one to your M.2 SSD yourself, either in a single-sided format, or double-sided format. There are also M.2 SSDs that have cooling structures (such as heatsinks) built-in. |
| Sequential read speed | 5,500MB/s or faster is recommended |
| Module width | 22mm width (25mm width is not supported) |
| Form Factor | M.2 type 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 and 22110. These numbers can be found on retail listings for M.2 SSD devices. The first two digits refer to the width, the remaining digits to the length. |
| Socket type | Socket 3 (Key M) |
| Total size | In millimeters: smaller than 110mm (L) x 25mm (W) x 11.25mm (H). In inches: smaller than 4.33in (L) x 0.984 in (W) x 0.442in (H). |
