Absolutely, just remember that PS5 games need to be played from the internal SSD, but you can store your PS4 games and other media files on the external drive.

I’ve been using a 2TB external hard drive with my PS5, and it works great for managing all my PS4 games! Just plug it in, and you're good to go.
