Want to enjoy next-generation video games to the fullest? There's probably no better choice than the PlayStation 5. Besides big game titles, you'll also enjoy exclusive games that you won't find anywhere else. All this in up to 4K resolution at 60 frames per second. If you want to know all things important about the PlayStation 5, carry on reading.

Why Choose PlayStation 5?

The PlayStation 5 is the so-called next-generation console, which is going to be available for purchase at the end of 2020. It is going to be significantly more powerful than the previous generation (PS4), so it is ready for bigger and more realistic games. At the same time, however, it has kept the greatest benefits of PlayStation consoles, including:

Low purchase price - if you want to enjoy the latest game titles, the console is the best option money-wise. Compared to a sufficiently powerful computer, it is significantly cheaper.
No hardware requirements - The game console has only one configuration. You don't have to worry about whether you have sufficient hardware for a new game. If the game is released for the PlayStation 5, it will run equally well on each of these consoles.
One console for at least 7 years - The service life of one generation of consoles is about 7 years. Tens of millions of gamers have the same console as you, so it pays off for the developers to count on it for this period of time.
Exclusive games - The PlayStation game consoles are known for great game titles that you won't find anywhere else. God of War, Uncharted, The Last of Us, Spider-Man, Ghost of Tsushima - these are some of the best games of the last decade and you simply need your PlayStation to experience them.
Comfortable controller - The Popular DualShock wireless controller is getting redesigned with the advent of the PlayStation 5. It has undergone many modifications and has been renamed to DualSense. In addition to its better ergonomics, it also offers advanced haptic (tactile) feedback, adaptive resistance of the L2 and R2 buttons, a USB-C connector and, last but not least, a more modern design.
Affordable virtual reality - Not only is PlayStation the best-selling brand of game consoles, but it's also the brand of the best-selling virtual reality glasses - the PlayStation VR. These are significantly cheaper than similar glasses for other platforms, so with the PS VR, virtual reality is really accessible to everyone. In addition, Sony is expected to introduce a more modern version of the PS VR when the new generation of the console arrives.
Multimedia features - The PlayStation is primarily a game console, but because it has an optical drive, it can also be used as a full-fledged 4K Blu-ray player if needed. Thanks to its Internet connection and the option to install applications, the PlayStation is also a multimedia center - it can be used with Netflix, YouTube, Spotify and other services.

How Do PlayStation 5 Models Different?

The PlayStation 5 is available in two variants - PlayStation 5 and Playstation 5 Digital Edition. Both feature the same performance, hardware configuration and, to some extent, the same design. What makes them different is the presence of an optical drive - the Digital Edition does not have it. What is each of the models intended for?

PlayStation 5 with Optical Drive

The classic PlayStation 5 model is intended either for a more conservative group of gamers who prefer physical copies of games to their digital distribution, or for those who use their game console as a Blu-ray player as it still comes equipped with a disc drive. You can recognize this version at first sight by its asymmetrical design, which is the result of the presence of an opening for optical discs.

PlayStation 5 Digital Edition

We find ourselves in the third decade of the 21st century, which is also manifested in the video game industry. More than three quarters of all purchased copies of video games reach players digitally. This phenomenon also affects consoles, with the PlayStation 5 giving its users a choice. Those who install games primarily through their Internet connection will be able to save and purchase Digital Edition for the PlayStation 5 without an optical drive.

What Powers the PlayStation 5?

Next-generation performance requires next-generation hardware. To be able to keep up with the most powerful computers, the PlayStation 5 uses hardware comparable to what we find in today's best gaming machines.

Parameter	PlayStation 5	PlayStation 4
Processor Cores	8 cores (16 threads) AMD Zen 2	8 cores AMD Jaguar
Processor Frequency	3.5GHz	1.6GHz
GPU Performance	10.28 TFLOPs	1.84 TFLOPs
GPU Frequency	2.3GHz	800MHz
Graphics Memory	16GB GDDR6	8GB GDDR5
Internal Memory	SSD – 825GB (5.5GB/s)	HDD – 500GB (75MB/s)

Processor (CPU) - Like the fourth generation of this game console, the PlayStation 5 comes equipped with a processor made by AMD. But a lot has changed since 2013, and AMD introduced the Zen and Zen 2 architectures. And it is the Zen 2 architecture that the PS5 processor is built on - it can be said that it is based on the highly successful AMD Ryzen 38xx series. It would be very difficult to come up with a better performance basis of a next-generation console.
Graphics Processor (GPU) - A graphics processor is what powers the entire next-generation experience. Surely, other parts of hardware are also important, but the visual side of the game and its smooth running is mainly taken care of by the GPU (with the help of the CPU). And the PlayStation 5 GPU is truly a symbol of a new generation. Compared to the PS4, it is more than 5 times more powerful.
Storage - the PlayStation 5 comes with an SSD, which exceeds the speed of older HDDS many times. In practice, this means significantly shorter loading times, but also new possibilities for game worlds, which can be rid of loading sequences.

Next-Generation on PlayStation 5

Old generation consoles (PS4) are no longer keeping up with the technical capabilities of game developers. As the graphics of games and their worlds evolve, the need for more powerful hardware grows stronger. This is exactly what the next generation of consoles offers. What becomes possible with it?

4K Resolution at 60 fps

The new PlayStation 5 offers visual experience we could only dream of before. It supports games with a resolution of 3840×2160px (4K) at 60 frames per second. This ensures that games will be smooth and extremely detailed at the same time. Selected titles can be played on the PlayStation 5 even at 120 fps, a frame rate we've never seen on consoles before.

Ray tracing in Real Time

How to approach reality in games? In recent years, ray tracing technology has proven to be a good way. It enhances the game's graphics by mimicking the ways in which light is spread in the real world. As a result, the game world is not only effective, but also believable. In the past, ray tracing was possible only with the most powerful computers, but soon it will be available to everyone thanks to the PlayStation 5.

Games for PlayStation 5

As before on the PS4, you can play all the big game titles on the PlayStation 5. An almost inexhaustible library of great experiences awaits you, including well-known multiplatform series such as FIFA, Call Of Duty, Assassin's Creed, Battlefield or Grand Theft Auto. At the same time, you can look forward to games that are exclusive to the PlayStation consoles only - Uncharted, God Of War, Last of Us and many others.

On the PlayStation 5, you'll not only play games created exclusively for the next-gen, but also most of those for the PlayStation 4. The PS5 is backward compatible, so it has a huge supply of great games since its release. You can easily play Doom Eternal, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare or Fortnite.

However, even more interesting titles are the ones created specifically for the next-gen console. These will take full advantage of the potential of more powerful hardware, thanks to which they will offer gamers visual experience that belongs to the new decade. While games will be released for both the old and new generations of consoles at the same time, they will look significantly better on the PS5.

PlayStation 5 Exclusivity

The best example of the PlayStation 5's new abilities will be exclusive games that will only be released for this new console. The most significant ones include:

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales

The sequel to the very successful game Marvel's Spider-Man from 2018 will put you in the role of a new hero. As Spider-Man, Miles Morales has spider abilities similar to those acquired by Peter Parker. In addition, he is endowed with camouflage and electrical pulses, which he can use to neutralize his opponents. The game will be released together with the PlayStation 5 at the end of 2020.

Horizon Forbidden West

We have already encountered the original world of the future ruled by robotic creatures in Horizon Zero Dawn. On the PlayStation 5, we will be able to play its sequel in which the main heroine Aloy needs to save the world. The visual of the original part already pushed the limits of the consoles of that time, so with the performance of the PS5, there is no doubt that Horizon Forbidden West will offer an experience that has never been seen before.

Gran Turismo 7

Gran Turismo is not only a popular brand of racing games, but one of the most popular game series ever. Now, the PlayStation 5 is bringing its sequel. Like its predecessors, Gran Turismo 7 offers breathtaking graphics, a sophisticated driving model and a plethora of racing cars. Compared to GT Sport from 2017, Gran Turismo 7 will have a sophisticated single player campaign, so there is really something to look forward to.

Cool stuff PS5

PlayStation VR - Virtual Reality for Everyone

The PlayStation VR is the most popular virtual reality set in the world. Although it was released at the time of the PlayStation 4, it is fully compatible with the PlayStation 5. The price of the PS VR is very friendly - both the headset itself and the PlayStation as the hardware that powers virtual reality are affordable. With the VR headset, you can not only peak into the virtual world, but transfer yourself there directly. All you have to do is connect the headset to the game console, run a supported game and enjoy everything that virtual reality has to offer.

PlayStation Plus - Get the Most out of Your PS5

PlayStation Plus is the best way to get the most out of your game console. It is provided on the basis of a regular subscription, thanks to which you can get interesting discounts, two free games every month or cloud storage. In addition, for many games, owning your PS Plus subscription is the only way to get online multiplayer. Last but not least, PS Plus also includes Share Play, a feature that allows you to play local multiplayer with friends who don't own the game.

Original Accessories for PS5

DualSense Wireless Controller - Every game console needs a controller, and the DualSense Wireless is the most advanced PlayStation controller ever.
DualSense Chargers - Want to charge your DualSense controller quickly and conveniently? With a practical charging station, you can charge two at once.
