And with a weight of 4. This size allows Sony plenty of space for the power to run games in a way few dreamed possible on a console. Featuring the ability for Ray Tracing Acceleration, the console is set to run at 2. You will also have your choice of a Ultra HD Blu-ray, or to save some money and get the system as a digital only console. Looking at the outside of the console, the PlayStation 5 comes with all the ports and buttons one would hope from a machine. With improved power, the addition of an Ultra HD Blu-ray drive, and the ability to output on an 8K display; this is a system that is built to grow and get better as new technology enters the market.
This gives Sony plenty of room to grow and expand the potential as the market adjusts and makes way for new, cheaper options. But this is also when 4K gaming comes into its own. While yes, the PlayStation 4 Pro saw gaming march ahead, ready to take on this new trend; it is with the PlayStation 5 where things feel mature and ready to spread their wings.
Even with the time I have spent with the system, it is already obvious the potential and the room to grow as Sony brings more games into the next gen field. Gaming has never looked or sounded this good. From the lighting and the way characters interact with the world, down to the subtle details, the PlayStation 5 is already delivering on the promise this power affords. Ray Tracing has been a graphics buzzword for a while now, but seeing that, along with hz, 8K and vibrant HDR all within a console under the TV is something I did not imagine possible, even two years ago.
Sony is picking up from where Nvidia and the PC space have been trying to push hard on the potential these hi-end features could afford gamers. It is the ability to push a new level of realism, utilizing real, dynamic lighting to craft more complex, and more visually striking games than consoles have seen.
Immersion is the name of the game with the PlayStation 5, and this is carried forward with how Sony is tackling audio on the platform. In games that are optimized for the tech, they will deliver a richer sound that sucks you into the game world, giving you a scale as big as what you are seeing on screen.
The PS5 lets you adjust these settings with a range of profiles that work with your ears to deliver a more engaging and dynamic experience. With a range of games offering it at launch, and more down the pipeline, it is a feature that makes games built for the system seem truly exciting.
While headphones are often the ideal way to experience this level of 3D audio, I am a bit disappointed to see TV speaker Virtual Surround Sound lacking at launch. The new sound system is impressive, and being able to experience it without headphones would be fantastic. Sadly, anyone excited for home theatre-like options for 3D audio, will need to wait, and at the time of writing there is no firm date when it will appear for new PS5 owners.
But as I noted in my Xbox Series X review, while these features are amazing, success is dependent on a launch library that shows off what the system can do, and reassures you that the money you spent will lead to years of new potential in gaming.
And to put it bluntly, there is just not the list of games that make missing out on a pre-order the end of the world. It is just not enough to keep you excited, especially with many of us still stuck inside, with little to do outside the safe walls of the home. However, few modern consoles realistically launch with a library of purely new titles, but since the PS4 and PlayStation 5 are both built on the same core platform, we have something exciting for this launch, and that is a slew of titles ready to go at launch from the previous generation.
Much like Microsoft has done, Sony is giving gamers who already have a library of games, digitally or physically provided you have the non-digital edition the ability to jump in and carry gaming forward, allowing the old console to be put out to pasture, or moved to the secondary TV if you are so inclined. With a massive library of games ready to go, upgrading is easy, and with the power of the PS5, these games have never looked or played better.
This is one area I am surprised by—while the PSVR was a popular accessory, the games lineup has been lacking in recent years, but with this move, Sony has given the headset a second life. It will need to be seen if developers take advantage and tap into the potential of the new console. Since its creation in December , and its launch of the original PlayStation in Japan, this gaming brand has just grown in popularity in the last twenty four years.
Today it is considered one of the major players in the gaming scene and does not show signs of faltering or loosing followers. The first console sold million units in total from launch date until the release of the follow up console in The most popular console to date from Sony is the PlayStation 2 , with over a million units being sold.
The release of the PlayStation 3 in was also a hit but the record for fastest selling PlayStation console is the PS4, released in and selling 1 million consoles in 24 hours. Saints Row is taking us back to the beginning of the iconic crime gang with an origin story. You'll be starting out in the city of Santo Ileso, creating the Saints from scratch. It'll be up to you what they'll get up to and how they'll build their empire, leading them once again as the full customisable Boss.
It's new faces and new names, but plenty of rival gangs to pick fights with and silliness to engage in - although this is a much more grown-up Saints Row than the dildobat-wielding of old.
There aren't many games that let you play as an adorable little tabby cat, but Stray is one of them. You are lost, alone, and separated from your family, but in order to get back to them you must untangle an ancient mystery in a long-forgotten city.
Thankfully you find a small drone known only as B12, making you not quite alone anymore. Lego and Star Wars is always a winning combination. Being able to play out every single Star Wars movie - from a New Hope to The Last Jedi - in Lego form makes for one delightful adventure, and that's exactly what we're going to get with the Skywalker Saga. While we've already gotten to experience most of the Star Wars films in the form of Lego games, we'll be able to play out the latest adventures with Rey and the gang, too.
We're not sure if the previous games will be tweaked in any way or just remastered, but regardless, they're sure to be just as enjoyable. Not quite a survival game, but Little Devil Inside will have you fighting for your lite as you embark on missions and journies that question the choices you make. Giant monsters and glowing swords will feature heavily, along with an old man on a toilet, in this mysterious world that spans multiple biomes.

The pair are heading out on a road trip after discovering letters and notes tucked away in the attic of their home that will lead them to learn more about their family history. We're about to get another adventure with Kratos as the cold winds of Fimbulwinter hit Midgard.

We can hardly wait to discover everything the latest God of War holds for us, with Eric Williams now in the director's seat.
It's the naval combat sections of Assassin's Creed Black Flag, minus the stabby hooded free-running. If your favourite part of Edward Kenway's floating adventures were peppering ships with mortars and watching masts crumble into matchsticks, welcome to Skull and Bones. Ubisoft knows how much you like big boats and has acted accordingly, throwing multiplayer into the mix and letting you take on your friends who all have lootable ships.
Take them down in a hail of canon fire and you can steal their gold and unlock bigger targets. This is one worth walking the plank for. The Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake will bring the adventure back for a new generation, with a host of enhancements and new features for modern consoles.
