Ps5

Gaming consoles are a major entertainment product and the Sony PlayStation line is among the top options. The PlayStation 5 is the fifth iteration and was released in 2020; it sold 3.4 million units just in the first month alone.

The design was majorly revamped compared to the PS4, with the PS5 looking like a modern art installation while being one of the best gaming consoles available for the time. The size of the console allows it to be very quiet and also dissipate heat a lot faster, this is a win as the PS4 would make a lot more noise and also heat.

The PS5 has upgraded the CPU, GPU as well as the hard drive built into it. The GPU is AMD's rDNA 2 that is customised for the PS5. The CPU is the AMD Zen 2-based CPU with 8 cores at 3.5GHz and has variable frequency. There is 16GB of GDDR6 RAM and storage is at 825GB SSD, one can also expand the storage via an NVMe SSD slot and you also have support for an HDD via the USB for PS4 games. The internal drive being an SSD means the speeds are a lot faster when it comes to reading the information, thus also reproducing it onto the screen faster.

Visuals are at 4K with a 120Hz refresh rate, so it is insanely clear. There is also support for 8K in certain cases. There is also support for Ray Tracing, a very innovative way to get the lighting and shadows as realistic as possible, making the games as close to real as possible too. The 8K will work only for games that support it and with time more and more will.

The controllers are the DualSense ones, with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers as well. This makes it a very tactile tool that you use to interact with your games. The DualSense controller even has a mic built into it so you can interact at a vocal level with ease too. Other than this one can also add the Pulse 3D headset for a more immersive aural feel, or get the Media Remote to control the streaming services and other media with ease. There is also a PS5 HD camera for broadcast.

Games on the PS5

You could choose from any kind of game, from First Person Shooter to Role Playing, from Racing to Strategy and any other kind of game you can imagine. A lot can be played as a single-player or are multi-player as well, with many that connect over the internet on larger servers where hundreds of people are playing together. This has also become a great platform to connect with people all over the world.

The games are mostly backwards-compatible so you can play game titles from your previous PlayStations. This means your collection is still relevant and you can take a walk down memory lane whenever you want. The top titles that are from the PS5 era include God of War 2 and Final Fantasy 16. Other top titles include Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Astro's Playroom, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition and many more.

The PS5 is an expensive console but it is as good as it gets, with smooth performance and a very very wide range of game titles that can be enjoyed on it. If it is within your budget this is a great purchase.
