Major PS5 Software Updates, Game Delays and DreamsCom21 | Platinum Explosion Podcast

The next major PS5 firmware is now in the beta phase and it’s full of juicy goodies, including changes to trophies and allowing you to add your own SSD. As well as discussing the big update we talk about DreamCom21 news and the most recent game delays affecting PlayStation gamers.

Also on the show this week we talk about the very weird McDonald’s controller story, how you can check out some Apple TV+ shows on PS5 for free and why PlayStation bought Nixxes.
