Despite the Xbox Series X and PS5 being out, not many people can get their hands on them.
It means that you might be looking at your PS4 or Xbox One and wondering if there's anything you can do to make them feel a little more next-gen.

Is it possible to install an SSD on your PS4 or Xbox One, and even if you can, is it really worth it?

Honestly, in both cases, it's probably not going to be worth it, especially not given the extra costs of an SSD. Instead, we recommend you just make sure your console is clean and you delete anything you're not using to keep performance up.
It's just generally better to wait it out and save that money for when a PS5 or Xbox Series X is available instead.
