Could you try to plug the external, transfer the game you want to play and unplug it?

New software update for PS5. Might iron out a few kinks/problems.https://wccftech.com/new-ps5-system-update/

Jim Ryan won't confirm whether God of War: Ragnarok will be a PS5 exclusive

Can you confirm whether [the previously announced] God of War Ragnorak will be a PS5 exclusive?

“Sorry. I've got nothing to say about that today.”

For me until it is said otherwise I would consider he didn't say anything because it probably is crossgen but he don't want to take the attention from the games currently selling.

More data for ya:

PS5 has as many exclusive games with 75 or higher (According to metacritic) at launch as Xbox One has had in 4 years.

92 - Demon's Souls
85 - Spider-Man: Miles Morales
83 - Astro's Playroom
82 - The Pathless
78 - Sackboy: A Big Adventure

Average: 84.0

vs Xbox One's:

92 - Forza Horizon 4 (2018)
85 - Forza Motorsport 7 (2017)
84 - Gears 5 (2019)
79 - Halo Wars 2 (2017)
78 - Tell Me Why (2020)

Average: 83.6

Ironically, 4/5 of the Xbox games are that holy trinity, and if you average them out, PS5's launch lineup is better than the past 4 years on Xbox. IT's not a significant difference, but this is interesting to point out to anyone who tries to tell you the PS5's launch lineup is poor.

Got up to the museum in Spider-Man: Remastered. Quality mode looks so good! Ray tracing really takes some areas to the next level. Never bothered enabling it on PC before, but definitely intend to in Cyberpunk now.

Other games that release earlier than GoW/HFW or that will release together with it will be PS5 only, so that doesn't prove much. The fact that Jim ran away from the question tells a lot more =p

Some people are making a huge deal out of this stuff and I just don't get it. They don't NEED to push PS5's for the next year or so, as they won't be able to keep up with demand regardless. Having games cross gen means that folks who weren't fortunate or rich enough to get a PS5 can still play the great exclusives that sony is releasing. It's a win-win for everyone. 

Who the fuck cares that they 'did a 180' on their statements? That's called intelligent adaptation to the market. This is not a bad thing at all, and in fact is a great thing! People, companies, and entities changing to adapt with the times isn't hypocrisy, it's evolution. Like, jesus some people will say or do anything just to find an excuse to bitch about shit. 

And to be clear, this isn't aimed directly at you, it's a general statement of perception of social media and especially the xbox people here on this forum. 

GTS is likely nearing 10M, that isn't shabby.

You seem to be thinking of things in strictly binary terms, which doesn't help anyone. Long story short, a game can be cross-generational and still be the best it can be on PS5 while still being capable of being run on Ps4. Miles morales is a great example. It runs just fine on Ps4, but man it looks, feels, and plays so much better on PS5. 

This 'it can only reach its maximum potential if it's strictly exclusive to PS5' narrative is...bad. It's bad and it's not real and it's not a good representation of the game, the developers, or the audience. Sony even said (and I knew this from the get go but couldn't prove it) that many exclusives that are cross-gen will take advantage of the PS5's unique abilities and options. Nobody's losing anything here by having some games be cross-generational. The devs get more money because their stuff is available to a wider audience, plus all these games get free upgrades to their PS5 versions, the publisher also gets more money and thus can invest more into future games, gamers get two versions of a game if possible, and folks who can't get a PS5 (which is super hard to get right now, virtually impossible without catering to scalpers) still get to play those games. 

I do not understand how an infinitesimally small difference in quality of games between strictly PS5 developed and cross-gen developed games is worth skipping out on literally millions of potential buyers on the existing userbase on the Ps4. Yeah, I wouldn't want ALL games to be cross gen, and I wouldn't want this gen to be ALWAYS compromising like the Xbox Series X/S is doing, but a balance between cross-gen and next-gen exclusives is best for consumers and for the company. I just do not understand for the life of me how people can be so pedantic about a perceived, unproven, potential disparity between versions. You're not the devs, you're not the publishers, you're not the people working on the game, you can't possibly know if the game was compromised by being cross-gen or not. You (and many others) just assume as much because ... reasons I guess? I genuinely don't know what gives you that impression. Nothing I've seen so far indicates that Horizon or Spider-Man or whatever else were compromised due to having PS4 versions out. That's just an unfounded assumption based on an incomplete perspective of the development process. 

And it's unfair to everyone to push that faulty, ill-advised narrative.
