Performance

It is immediately apparent that the PS5 is a next-generation system when you turn it on. The PS5 screams newness from its seductive logos and 4K HDR user interface to its new home screen with game "cards" that fill your screen and speakers when highlighted, in contrast to the oddly determined attempt by the Xbox Series X to convince you that it is exactly like the Xbox One you previously owned. Although it has a brand-new, incredibly gorgeous appearance, existing PS4 players will soon recognise it. Its usefulness is further aided by the simple iconography, logical structure, and quick operation.

Ports and Expansion

A pretty normal selection of ports are available on the PS5, along with several useful contemporary conveniences. A USB Type-C SuperSpeed connector and a Hi-Speed USB Type-A port are provided up front. It's good to finally see a console with out-of-the-box USB-C connection, especially for attaching contemporary peripherals and storage devices.

Two SuperSpeed USB-A connections, an Ethernet connector, an HDMI 2.1 port, and an AC adaptor are all located at the rear. (For suggestions on TVs featuring HDMI 2.1, see the best gaming TVs.) People who own high-end audio equipment with optical connectors may find it disappointing that the PS5 has removed the optical audio port from the PS4. However, some businesses, like Astro with their Astro A20 headset, already sell optical-to-HDMI splitters.

By opening up the console, you may access the PCle 4.0 M.2 expansion port if you wish to add more storage to the 825GB of SSD storage that comes with the PS5. Not all SSDs are compatible; to use one, it must adhere to Sony's extremely stringent specifications (opens in new tab), such as the Western Digital SN850, Samsung 980 Pro, or the future Nextorage M.2 NVMe SSD made by Sony.

Sound

The Unbroken bombing-run scenario on Blu-ray reveals that, when given the chance, the PS5 can produce excellent Dolby Atmos soundscapes. The Sony UBP-X700 dedicated player offers more crispness and dynamic punch, but the Xbox 360 still generates a powerful, room-filling sound with good clarity and well placed sound effects.

Those who already own a surround sound system will be glad to know that it is still the best method to enjoy game soundtracks even though Dolby Atmos isn't an option for games.

DualSense Controller

The PS5 DualSense controller could be the system's most cutting-edge feature. The combination of the gamepad's haptic feedback, adjustable triggers, and built-in speaker results in a degree of physical immersion I've never previously felt when playing a game.

The free, pre-installed game Astro's Playroom, which was created exclusively to demonstrate off the capabilities of Sony's new controller, really brings out the DualSense's strengths. In this vibrant 3D platformer, you may, for instance, skate over ice and get a smooth gliding sensation, as well as feel and hear the delicate impact of sand grains as you stroll through a storm. Force feedback is produced at a very precise level by everything from pulling on a rope to flying about in a jetpack.

Verdict

With breathtaking 4K performance, astonishingly quick load times, and a controller that genuinely changes the game, the PS5 represents a significant advancement for console gaming. Playing games is now more immersive and tactile than ever. Nearly all PS4 games are supported, and in many cases, this makes it possible for them to run and load more smoothly than before.

If you can even find Sony's new console, there are a few reasons to delay pressing the purchase button. There aren't many must-have exclusives on the PS5's launch roster because PS4 users can still play popular games like Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Assassin's Creed Valhalla. For individuals with limited room, the console's enormous size and the DualSense controller itself may be a small issue for those with smaller hands.
