Based on pre-order figures available on both offline and online stores across the world Based on pre-order figures, the PlayStation 5 will be available for purchase at any price between N450,700 and N710,000, dependent on the model you want. There are other factors to consider, such as the location of purchase, time of purchase, and, most importantly, the exchange rate for currency at the time of purchase to influence the game’s price.

PlayStation 5 Design

If gaming consoles could be classified into weight and weight classes, the PlayStation 5 would be in the heavyweight category. It was measured at 38.8 8.x26cm (H + W + D); however, the curvature of the surfaces makes obtaining precise measurements difficult. It weighs 4.5kg, giving an impressive amount of weight as you take it home.

If you consider these measurements, it’s clear that you can see that PlayStation 5 is the most powerful console Sony has ever created and is close to being too big for a device designed to be a part of your television.

PlayStation 5 Performance

Regarding specs in terms of specs, the PS5 is an impressive technical device. It has the brand new RDNA 2 GPU, which can boost resolution to 4K in 120 frames per second, and AMD Zen 2 – an octa-core CPU that runs at the 3.5GHz rate.

Add the 16GB GDDR6 memory and the NVMe SSD, and you’ve got an impressive machine with attractive specifications. PS5 SPECS

The only issue we’re facing in the PlayStation 5’s specs document is that it’s using an 825GB SSD instead of the typical one or two SSD.

The console is equipped with 667.2GB of storage that can be used. We found approximately 16 games. Two were PS5 games, Astro’s Playroom and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and a range of PS4 games, such as God of War and Detroit: Beyond Human.

What do you think of noise and heat?

The massive footprint of the PS5 gives an advantage over previous models: the console is essentially quiet -, and the production of heat is also deficient.

It’s a massive advancement over the PS4 and the PS4 Pro, which were famous for their capacity to crank up the system’s fans to ridiculous levels and produce a ton of heat, especially in the older models.

PlayStation 5 DualSense Controller

To explore the exciting new console world, you’ll need a new gaming pad, the brand new Sony DualSense controller. You’ll be delighted to learn that you’ll get a DualSense controller included along with the PS5. The DualSense feels like in hand as that of the DualShock 4 that shipped with the PS4, and we discovered it to be extremely comfy to be held for long durations.

When you first pick its first controller and put it to the test, the DualSense is surprisingly weighty, balanced, and balanced, with most of the weight residing on the controller’s grips. Although most of the controller is made of a glossy white plastic surface, the grips’ bottoms are a bit rougher, making the controller more comfortable to hold and less likely to slide off your fingers.

If you take a closer look, you will see that the texture comprises tiny PlayStation face buttons. This is a cool little feature.

Its two-tone PS5 control scheme extends to four buttons on the face, which are the traditional Triangle, Circle, Square, and Cross (or X) but have been stripped of color and are reminiscent of the PlayStation Vita’s simple style. Advertisement

PlayStation 5 Features

Design is something, but its features will lift a console to the next level, and the PS5 provides this.

The PS5 redefines what PlayStation consoles have done in the past. Because of this, it may take a few minutes to become familiar with specific new controls. Pressing and holding the PlayStation button on the controller will no longer bring you to the menu for quick access. For instance, it opens an entirely newly designed Control Center.

PlayStation 5 Game Library

Most consoles do not launch with a complete collection of games straight off the bat, so the bar is very low on the PlayStation 5. But what you get from the current games on the PlayStation 5 library is primarily based on whether you have completed the great games from the PS4’s past, such as God of War, The Last of Us Part II, and Marvel’s Spider-Man as well as Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End.

Suppose you’ve not yet completed them or perhaps haven’t played them all. In that case, You could be playing over dozen fantastic games available to play from when you turn to your PlayStation 5 via backward compatibility.

Suppose you’re a subscriber to PS Plus. In that case, you might also be able to download older games that you passed by since Sony’s latest PlayStation Plus Collection includes 20 essential games from the current generation that you can download from day one. Each PS5 comes with Astro’s Playroom, a great display of what the system can accomplish.

Backward compatibility

The awe-inspiring works we mentioned earlier? They’re all included in Sony’s brand new PlayStation Plus Collection: a small selection of the best hits from the PS4 that Sony is offering for free available to PlayStation Plus subscribers on the PS5.

A few top mainstream games are included, as are some lesser-known gems worth a look at, such as Persona 5 and The Last Guardian. This collection of games from the PlayStation Plus Collection might never grow to the same size as the Microsoft Xbox Game Pass lineup; however, with just 18 games currently available, it’s an excellent incentive for PS Plus subscribers.

What happens to those who want to play old games? The PlayStation 5 can play almost every PS4 game (99 percent, to be precise) and select PS3 and PS2 titles through PlayStation Now… however that’s all there is.

It’s impossible to put into the PS3 disc and get it to work or to transfer to your PlayStation Classics purchases you made on the PS Vita a few years back.

We’re as disappointed as you are with that lack of backward-compatibility support for Sony’s previous generation of games, mainly as Xbox 360 games (physical discs included) work on the Xbox Series X. Still, it’s not uncommon for a new console to only support the last generation of games as manufacturers look to the future.

Accessing your older PS4 games is now an easy task with Sony’s new system. Select the Library icon, and the PS5 will download all your digital purchases and previously installed games if you’re logged into the PlayStation Network account.
