From Price to Release, Here Is Everything You Need to Know About PlayStation 5

Good news for all the PlayStation lovers as Sony is planning to release the PS5, which is the most wanted console to date. 

The PlayStation fans are eagerly waiting for the PS5, and recently officials have confirmed that Sony’s PlayStation 5 is going to release later this year. With Xbox series X, the PS5 will cost you around $400 to $500. If you need to know more about PS5, then you will find all the details in this blog.

Design of PS5

The officials have already revealed the design of the PS5, and it is entirely emergent and sleeker than other PS. It has its unique body, but it looks slightly similar to the Xbox Series X. The design is quite appreciative, but the big console is not at all eye-catchy, which is its drawback.  

Presence of digital edition of PS5

Like the Xbox One X, you will get all the digital versions of PS with the PS5. The PS5 doesn’t support discs, so you may need to download it directly to the console for playing games. 

Cost and its releasing date

There is no official news regarding the costs of Sony, but some reports state that Sony is facing issues in keeping the price down. Sony will not sell their product at any cost, and the average range of PS5 is around $450, so there might be chances that Sony will set a bit higher price than this. The date of release is still undecided, but one thing is sure that PS5 will release in the Holiday 2020. Till now, there is no news of delays due to the current pandemic.

PS5’s Specification 

You can expect following specs from Sony’s PS5:

PS5 CPU

In PlayStation, the CPU runs on the AMD’s 3rd generation Ryzen chip (Graphics card) Along with the latest 7nm Zen 2 microarchitecture. For the 3rd-dimension audio, there will be a custom unit too. 

PS5 GPU

The GPU of Sony’s PS5 supports ray tracing, a rendering technique that can be a massive win for Sony. You can see the use of this technique in the big-budget movies of Hollywood, but till now there is no PS that has used this technique yet. 

PS5 Solid-state drive

You will get PS5 packed with the solid-state drive (SSD), which is the latest as compared to the hard-disk drive (HDD). If you know about the SSD devices, you must be aware of the power and speed of this drive, as it can offer you better gaming experience. They said that, in PS4, the spider-man takes 15 secs to travel, but in PS5, it will take only 0.8secs, which is quite good. The PS5 supports 8k graphics, as most of the latest TV supports 4K resolution. 

You will get a simplified form of the game in PS5 due to the use of the SSD. In PS5, you may need to download the game to give you more freedom to configure the game and customize it as per your requirement. 

Games For PS5

Right now, there are no confirmed new games specially designed for the PS5 console. There is a game called Godfall, which has been created especially for the PS5. It might take time to launch new games, so some games have been confirmed to work on PS5:

  • Godfall
  • Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

Jim Ryan, CEO of the PlayStation, has confirmed that PS5 will be backward compatible. A new feature is added in the game: if you pause any game on PS4, you can resume the same game from the same point on PS5 and vice-versa, which is quite good. 

A post from the official sites of Sony shows that more than 4000 PS4 games will be playable on the PS5, giving more access to PlayStation lovers. 

All new DualSense controller in PS5

The PS5 is the official controller of the DualSense. Sony has officially revealed its design in their blogpost. The PS5 has several features like adaptive triggers, haptic feedback technology, in-built microphone, and they have replaced the share button with the create button. 

Even there is the involvement of the two key innovations, the controller of the all-new PlayStation 5. First, they have introduced haptic feedback to replace the “rumble feature.” With this feature, you have a broader range for giving feedback. The graphics of the PS5 can get you the sense of texture variety when you are in the game and doing any activity like plodding in the mud or running on the grass. 

Adaptive triggers are the second innovation by Sony in the PS5. It has incorporated into the trigger buttons like L2 and R2. The developers are making ways and changes in the trigger to give a better gaming experience by stimulating the various actions.

Supporting of Virtual Reality of PS5

If you are expecting the launch of the VR headset with the PlayStation 5. But Sony has some plans to give virtual reality with PS5 shortly. According to the R&D of Sony, the next headset might be lighter, less cable and more comfortable to put on. A wireless gaming headset can be a little bit expensive, so the companies focus on making headphones with fewer cables. 

The official Architect of the PlayStation said that VR is very crucial for the company and that in that context, PSVR headset is compatible with this new console.

The interface of The PS5

The layout and the interface are PlayStation is fluent and works well. But, the PS4 is a bit static, and there will be some change in the PS5.

Both the multiple and the single players will give information during the game. Multiplayer games offer information regarding the joinable activities, and if you are playing the single-player game, then the game provides information like stats of mission (Completed or ongoing). 

So, these are the features and specs about Sony’s PlayStation 5.
