I understand. But in order for you to play the games, they need to be on the internal storage. While you can store these games on external drives, you will need to transfer them to the internal drive or expansion card in order to play them.

The faster storage requirement is a design choice to ensure optimal performance for newer games, and while you can use external storage for them, you will need to transfer them to the internal hard drive or expansion card before you can play them.

Install it on the main storage, no external storage. Newer game need to be on main storage

I am fully aware of the need for having games in the internal storage or expansion card for them to be playable. My issue is downloading straight to the external drive, since i am usually active playing the already installed games in the internal storage/expansion card. moving them out to make room just for downloading a game that i will move to the external drive anyway seems stupid and just introduce unnecessary steps

All I want, and according to the wording, is to download new games to the external drive then i move them to internal storage when i want to play them instead of shuffling out games i am actively playing, download, archine the new game, move the active game back to internal
