PlayStation 5: Everything You Need to Know

When talking about PlayStation 5, Sony's flagship gaming console launched in 2020, built for high‑performance 4K gaming and immersive experiences. Also known as PS5, it combines a custom SSD, ray‑tracing GPU, and the innovative DualSense controller to push games beyond previous limits.

Key Parts of the PS5 Ecosystem

The console doesn’t work in isolation. DualSense controller, the handheld device that ships with the system, adds adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, letting you feel every footstep or explosion is a core piece of the experience. PlayStation Store, Sony's digital marketplace where you download games, add‑ons, and streaming apps directly to the console fuels the library, while Sony Interactive Entertainment, the division that develops, publishes, and supports PlayStation hardware and software worldwide orchestrates updates, online services, and first‑party titles. Together they create a loop: the PS5 requires a TV with HDMI 2.1 to unleash 4K/120 Hz performance, the DualSense translates that power into tactile sensations, and the Store supplies the games that make use of those features.

Across the collection below you’ll find stories that touch on every corner of this ecosystem – from in‑depth hardware reviews and exclusive game announcements to tips on getting the most out of the DualSense and navigating the PlayStation Store. Whether you’re a newcomer setting up your first console or a veteran hunting the next big release, the articles ahead give you practical, up‑to‑date information to enhance your PS5 journey.
