Can I expand PS5’s ultra-high-speed SSD storage?
PS5 features an expansion port that, in the future, will allow gamers to add M.2 SSD storage that will be used to install and play PS5 games.
This M.2 SSD storage upgrade functionality is coming to PS5 after launch as part of a system software update. We will share more details in the future, including the type of M.2 SSD storage that will be compatible with the PS5.
What exactly is ray tracing and how will it make PS5 games look better?
Simply put, ray tracing in graphics simulates the way light interacts with objects and surfaces, with the goal of generating more visual detail in the game. PS5 game developers can take advantage of ray tracing to make the effects of water, glass, light refraction, shadows, and surfaces look more realistic or striking, depending on their game goals.
How strong will the PS5 be when you are playing?
Our goal is for PS5 to be quieter than PS4. This is due to changes to cooling and power supply systems, as well as custom engineering work including a custom heatsink and liquid metal based thermal interface material.
What are the best practices when setting up my PS5 at home?
To maintain good ventilation, follow these guidelines below:
- Place the console at least 4 inches (10 cm) away from the wall surface.
- Do not place it on a rug or rug with long fibers.
- Do not place it in a narrow or narrow space.
- Do not cover it with a cloth.
- Do not allow dust to accumulate in the vents. Use a cleaning tool, such as a vacuum cleaner, to remove the accumulation of dust.
Does PS5 support HDR?
Yes, PS5 will support HDR10 specification.
Will the PS5 support 4K 120Hz modes?
Yes, PS5 supports HDMI 2.1 specification. HDMI 2.1 supports 4K 120Hz, but 4K TVs that support HDMI 2.1 have not yet fully penetrated the market.
How do the adaptive triggers of the DualSense controller work?
New adaptive triggers, built into the L2 and R2 buttons, can create powerful real-time trigger effects that simulate your actions in game. For example, a player might pull a bowstring in a game and feel the resistance as the string tightens. Or they could hit the brake pedal in a driving game and feel the resistance when taking a sharp turn.
How long will the DualSense controller last on a full charge? How long does it take to recharge?
Under most conditions, battery life is expected to be similar to that of the DualShock 4 wireless controller. Recharging time when connected to PS5 or DualSense charging station is estimated to be approximately three hours.
Can I use my existing DualShock 4 wireless controller with my PS5?
For PS4 games played on PS5, players can use the DualShock 4 wireless controller or the DualSense wireless controller. PS5 games will require the use of the DualSense wireless controller as they have been designed to take advantage of its new immersive features.
Can I use third-party controllers, such as SCUF Vantage or Astro C40 TR, with PS5?
Existing “special” controllers that are designed and licensed for the PS4 console, such as steering wheel controllers and arcade fighting sticks, will work on PS5 if supported by the PS5 or PS4 game.
Will my PS5 trophy list be separate from my other PS trophies?
The trophy lists will combine the trophies from PS3, PS Vita, PS4 and PS5, arranged chronologically in order of the most recently unlocked.
Will PS4 games benefit from playing on PS5?
Yes. Select PS4 games will see higher loading speeds when played on PS5, and will also take advantage of Game Boost, offering improved or more stable frame rates. Some games with unlocked frame rates or dynamic resolution up to 4K may have higher fidelity.
Can I play PS4 games from a USB drive?
Yes. Storing PS4 games and playing them from a USB drive is a great way to access PS4 games on PS5 and allow easy access to PS4 games without using the internal PS5 storage. We recommend doing this to save space on the console’s internal storage for PS5 games, which cannot be played from an extended storage drive.
