PS5: a truly next-gen console

The PlayStation 5 is Sony’s new console, offering a very different design compared to the previous generation, with interchangeable shells, as well as a brand new controller. Finished the DualShock, place now in the DualSense. This controller fits the shape of the hands better, keeps the analog sticks aligned and above all brings new features, such as adaptive triggers or haptic vibrations, which represent a real game changer to promote immersion in a game. Autonomy is not improved, but the controller recharges much faster than before thanks to its USB-C port.

In terms of the technical sheet, we find a power of 10 TeraFLOPs thanks to AMD’s RDNA 2 architecture, with the possibility of running games up to 8K according to what is displayed on the console box. Anyway, most of the games of the moment run in 4K at 30 or 60 FPS, even 120 depending on the title and if you have a compatible television. Moreover, the PS5 recently updated to improve visual quality by now allowing VRR (Variable Refresh Rate).

Everything has been redesigned for Sony’s new console, down to the interface, which is completely different from that of the PS4. We see a new sleek design, new community features and especially the integration of the PlayStation Store. The PS+ holds a very special place there, since the subscription has evolved into a kind of Game Pass on different levels (Essential / Extra / Premium). It allows you to enjoy a whole toy library of games, from the PS1 to the PS5, even including the PSP, as well as the possibility of playing in streaming, depending on the titles.
