PS5 News Today

See how PlayStation celebrated the global launch of the PS5 console with iconic buildings and popular sites around the world.

PS5 review from a casual gamer.

Congratulations! You and your PlayStation 5 are ready to start creating content on Twitch. Thanks to the Create button on your DualSense wireless controller it’s now faster than ever to start up a stream from the comfort of your console.

What a year. I want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for cheering us on and keeping us honest. I know I speak for all of Sony Interactive Entertainment when I say that you are at the very center of everything we make and do here.

Its DualSense controller ushers in some fresh control concepts, though you'll need a new TV to really take advantage of the PS5's horsepower.

But you can order online for in-store pickup or contactless curbside service

Yes, games look better, particularly if you have a high-end television to take advantage of features like 4K, HDR, and 120fps. But it’s not the dramatic shift that we’ve seen with past generations.

In the interest of keeping our gamers, retailers, and staff safe amidst COVID-19, today we are confirming that all day-of launch sales will be conducted through the online stores of our retail partners.

Today we’re introducing new ways to amplify your connections with friends and the games you love to play even when you’re away from your console. We’re pleased to unveil the updated PlayStation App, reimagined to enhance your gaming experiences on both PS4 and PS5.

Today, we've decided to move the release date of Cyberpunk 2077 by 21 days. The new release date is December 10th.

Sony PS5 is has arrived! This is the unboxing experience.

After months of online events featuring real gameplay footage of games running on the PlayStation 5, we finally got our hands on the real thing. It’s not Miles Morales: Spider-Man. It’s not Demon’s Souls. It’s the surprisingly engaging game Sony is bundling with every PS5, Astro’s Playroom.

The PlayStation 5 is coming soon. How soon? Soon enough that we have a final retail unit to unbox and examine in detail. Sorry, no hands-on with the games or UI yet, that will have to wait a little longer.

First Hands on with PS5 Controller - New Playstation 5 Controller Gameplay Hands On!

Sony’s next-gen PlayStation 5 console has a massive internal cooling system composed of, among other things, a gigantic fan. But the device, a 120mm-wide and 45mm-thick double-sided intake fan, also has some smart software to power it, and that software will improve the fan’s performance over time based on data gathered from individual games, according to a new interview with Yasuhiro Ootori...

Sony’s ‘Ready for PS5’ 4K TV range had actually been waiting for that all-important PS5 upgrade but a firmware update has arrived to bring two models up to HDMI 2.1 speed. Or, at least, partly. But it's the most important part, happily.

Managing online safety is an important part of ensuring that. We believe that it’s critical that gamers be able to quickly and accurately report abuse or harassment if they experience it while on PlayStation Network. As part of this initiative, we’ve been preparing to roll out a new feature on the PS5 console that enables gamers to report verbal harassment through a new Voice Chat reporting function. Its sole purpose is to help in reporting of inappropriate behavior, including actions that violate our Community Code of Conduct.

The launch of PlayStation 5 is just weeks away! And we’re teaming up with our friends at Burger King on a new launch promotion.

Starting October 15 through November 22, purchasing the two for $5 meal at any Burger King in the US will have a chance at winning a PlayStation 5. Of course, there is a specific way to enter the PS5/Burger King promotion.

Following ambiguity around the PS5's backwards compatibility, Naughty Dog confirms that all of its games will work on the upcoming console.

PS5 backward compatibility has been something of a mystery for the past several months, but Sony finally provided a detailed explanation of the feature this week. Sony says that "the overwhelming majority of PS4 games" will be playable on PS5, but the company has listed 10 PS4 games that will not work with the new console. You can easily transfer your PS4 games and save files from your PS4 to your PS5. Sony's slow drip of important information...

You'll need to bring some of your PS4 gear with you if you want to play PSVR on the PlayStation 5.

Why is Sony not discussing or showing how The Last of Us Part 2 or Ghosts of Tsushima will play on PS5?

Sony is selling PS4 and PS5 editions of games coming out this holiday, but it sure seems like you'll want to just buy the PS4 version.

Stunning PS5 special edition makes standard PlayStation 5 console look boring.

For reference, between its launch in November 2013 and the end of the fiscal year in April 2014, the PS4 sold more than seven million units. That means that Sony is forecasting more than seven million PS5 sales before next April, despite the current pandemic economy.

Early impressions for the PlayStation 5 confirm many of the earliest impressions for Sony's next-generation system: Not only is the PS5 absolutely huge, but it's fast as a cheetah and quiet as a mouse.

Sony has invited a number of Japanese publications and YouTubers to get a closer look at the PlayStation 5. It’s the first time we’ve seen the PS5 hardware outside of leaked images from Taiwan’s National Communications Commission. A variety of publications have now published detailed hands-on images and videos of the PS5, providing a more realistic look at how big the console is and gameplay of titles like Astro’s Playroom and Godfall.

Welcome... to Die Maschine.

A new PS5 launch game has been revealed via PlayStation and Annapurna Interactive. More specifically, the latter has revealed that joining Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Demon's Souls, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, and many other launch games will be the newest game from developer Giant Squid, dubbed The Pathless, which will be the studio's sophomore effort following 2016's critical darling ABZU. In addition to PS5, the game will also be made available on PS4, Apple Arcade, and PC on the same day, November 12. The latter of these three will be exclusive to Epic Games Store.

The year of 2021 looks bright for PlaySatation, with huge titles like God of War: Ragnarok and Horizon Forbidden West hitting the PlayStation 5. But, if you were lucky enough to snag a preorder for Sony's new console, what games will you be able to play on Nov. 12 when the PS5 launches?

Double Discounts for PS Plus Members. (Ends 9/30/20)

A one-year subscription to PlayStation Plus normally costs $60, but it’s available for almost half that price at CDKeys.com. You’ll need this service to play PS4 games online right now, and it’s an especially good deal if you’re planning to upgrade to the PS5 this year.

Only On PlayStation® Extraordinary games from PlayStation Studios™

Be prepared to wait in a virtual line, though. Here's the latest on where to find the PlayStation 5.

The list of impressive PlayStation 5 exclusives grows after reports suggest a Metal Gear Solid remake will be released exclusively on Sony’s new console.

The PS5 Input/Output (IO) system has been the topic of much discussion ever since Epic CEO Tim Sweeney explained its structural advantages over the PC (as well as any other gaming platform).

Those who missed out on the first wave of PlayStation 5 preorders last week may have luck securing a console tomorrow, September 25th. Reportedly, GameStop in the US plans to have PS5s available for preorder during the store’s normal hours. GameStop has confirmed that they will be opening up preorders both online and in stores tomorrow. Walmart Canada will open preorders for additional quantities tomorrow morning on its official website. This is only an online deal; thus, Walmart Canada won’t accept orders in-store. GAME UK is doing something similar, opening preorders tomorrow morning exclusively through its website.

With not long to go until the PlayStation 5 releases, details about some of its upcoming games and system capabilities are starting to spread. Assassin's Creed Valhalla will be one of the first playable games on PS5, but now there are more details on exactly how it will take advantage of the new console.

Now that the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles have been officially announced, developer CD Projekt Red is speaking up to remind people that Cyberpunk 2077 will be playable on those consoles, even though the dedicated next-gen edition is coming later.

There are still a lot of questions surrounding Spider-Man on PlayStation 5. The good news? We have answers. The bad news? Well, the answers themselves.

As of now, there is no upgrade path to get the graphically upgraded Spider-Man Remastered on PlayStation 5 for players who already own the original Spider-Man on PlayStation 4, according to a statement provided to Kotaku by Sony.

Demon's Souls is being developed by Bluepoint Games. You might know them as the studio behind remastered ports like The Nathan Drake Collection and Gravity Rush, but Demon's Souls is a full-on remake rather than a remaster.

The next generation of PlayStation is nearly here. After more than a year of drip-feeding information about the PlayStation 5, Sony has finally laid out the price, release date, and some of the games we can expect to play at launch.

The PS5 comes with a custom SSD that reaches speeds of up to 5.5GB/s, which is more than double the 2.4GB/s of the Xbox Series X/S. But that’s where the good news ends. Because it’s a custom SSD, it’s also more expensive to make, which forced Sony to have an unusual 825GB drive size for both the PS5 and the Digital Edition.

The PS5 sold out even before preorders were supposed to start last week; that’s how disorganized the launch event was. Some retailers jumped the gun and allowed buyers to preorder the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition on Wednesday, right after Sony’s virtual press event. The available stock sold immediately, and many of the gamers who attempted to place their orders on Thursday, which was the original plan, were unable to secure a PS5.

Insomniac Games’ hugely-successful 2018 hit Spider-Man is being remastered for PlayStation 5 with ray-tracing, faster loading, and support for the DualSense controller’s new haptic feedback. And better yet, it’ll be available on the PS5’s launch day as a pack-in with Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition.

WHILE THE PLAYSTATION 5 HAS A SOLID SLATE of launch games like Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Demon's Souls, backward compatibility is also a very important factor for many players. While the PlayStation 4 did not feature any sort of PlayStation 3 backward compatibility, the PS5 is taking a different approach that may relieve many long-time Sony fans. T

Here's everything you need to know about Sony's backward compatibility on the PS5.

Following the announcement of Microsoft’s $7.5 billion acquisition of Bethesda Softworks parent company ZeniMax — owner of Doom, Fallout, and more — some of the biggest questions I saw bouncing around the internet were whether future Bethesda games would become Microsoft exclusives and whether previously announced PlayStation 5 exclusives Deathloop and GhostWire: Tokyo would remain so.

The photos also show just how big the PS5 truly is. We learned earlier this week that the PS5 is the biggest game console in modern history, even topping the Xbox One VCR-like shape and Sony’s own PS3. Sony released official dimensions during its PS5 event this week, but they don’t include the “largest projection” or the optional base measurements.

This is truly an exciting time for all of us at PlayStation. Over the past few months, we’ve been able to show you a glimpse of the stunning new games being created for PlayStation 5, taking advantage of the console’s unique capabilities to deliver lightning-fast loading, heightened immersion, and a whole new generation of experiences. And we’re excited that the time for you to experience these brave new adventures is almost here.
