Sony PlayStation 5 Video Game Consoles

Sony PlayStation 5

The Sony PlayStation 5 was released to much fanfare in 2020. However, trying to find a PS5 hasn't been an easy task as they often sell out within minutes of being available online. The Sony PlayStation PS5 console offers top-of-the-line graphics while also giving owners an opportunity to experience a wide range of games. Stay up to date with the latest PS5 news and learn more about this innovative console.

PS5 Graphics and Other Specs

The PS5 offers state-of-the-art gameplay without the need to wait minutes on a loading screen, which was a common issue for many PS4 games. PS5 specs include a customized eight-core AMD Zen 2 CPU while also including a custom AMD Radeon RDNA 2-based GPU that offers 10.28 teraflops for the ultimate graphics. These PS5 graphics look excellent on 4k TVs while also having the potential to support 8K output for a stunning gaming experience.

The PS5 SSD includes 825GB at launch, which significantly reduces the amount of load times for all games. Furthermore, the PS5 system can access 5.5GB of raw data per second. This is nearly 100 times faster than the PS4. The PS5 is also much better equipped to handle frequent game updates without taking up as much storage space. Ultimately, this results in a much smoother and faster experience for playing PS5 games. Sony also plans to offer storage upgrade capabilities for anyone who plays a lot of different games and needs the extra space.

PS5 Backward Compatibility

Sony has announced that the vast majority of PS4 games will be available to play on the PS5. Backward compatibility gives gamers the flexibility to play many older games without the need to keep their PS4s. You can also turn on the "boost" mode to enhance the performance of some PS4 games. The PS5 design for the regular edition allows you to play physical or digital copies of games. However, the PS5 digital edition does not come with a disc drive to play physical copies.

PS5 Controllers and Other Accessories

The PS5 controller separates itself from past editions by offering responsive feedback to your actions in a game. These dynamic vibrations can easily simulate the environment of any game whether you are breaking free from a tackle or feeling the unique recoil of various weapons. Adaptive triggers also bring you closer to the action and help you feel immersed in the gameplay for a truly unique experience. Additional PS5 accessories available for purchase include an HD camera, media remote, wireless headset, and a charging station.

PS5 vs. PS5 Digital Edition

The main difference between the PS5 and the PS5 Digital Edition is the disc drive. The Digital Edition does not have a disc drive, meaning users will need to download games as opposed to buying physical copies. Choosing between these two PS5 models really is a personal preference.
