PS5 Update: 10 New & Hidden Features You Should Know

Them: PS5 has a loud disc drive

Me with a Dreamcast: …

Got my p5 yesterday it’s so quiet

I just got one boys

I bought the series x when they first came out for an inflated price. But I just bought a ps5 yesterday and I had no trouble at all finding one. And I honestly think the pa5 has a better quality in resolution on games and selections too. But of course the tv matters. But on my 65” lg cx the pa5 makes games look way better than the series x. IMO.

SHROUD?

I just got mine about more than a week ago and I love it. Got it straight from PS Direct but had to use one of those alert apps to get it. Glad I was able to beat the holiday rush!

I just got one LETS GOOOO

PORT FORWARDING AND STATIC IP fixes DL SPEEDS AND UPLOAD SPEEDS.

When I power it off to unplug my ps5 it turns itself back on

I don't see a point in rest mode tbh

Sony should add a controller sleep timer so you can have the controller power down if it’s not being used for the desired time you set it.

I don't understand storing games on external storage... Just delete it and re-download if you ever want to play again. If your internet situation sucks, jump off a bridge

Man, idk why this stopped me from buying one. "It is a bit loud"
Well up untill now I had a shitty pc and a ps3. So being loud isn't a problem

If you have 1440 p monitor you can enable 4K with a evenlak 4k emulator worked on my dell s27 monitor went from 1080 to 2160 and it all looks perfect . Loving the ps5

Who else is here late as hell bc they wanted to wait to cop for retail ?😂cudos g , we made it

I don't use rest mode I turn it off

I did not know about the rest mode crash. I've been using it since I got the system in fall

If your PS5 making a fan noise already just freaking diary your room Or something😂🤣 haven’t heard mine at all in 2 months. It’s like it’s saying: it’s this all you got? So check your ps or remove the dust

Got my ps5 a week ago loving it been playing demon souls

Do you still need to turn HDR off? Or does "only when applicable" work like it should?

I just got my ps5 last week, it sucks that rest mode is apparently sketch. I figured if the power goes out or whatnot that you'd just have to repair or rebuilt database when you turn it back on, like the ps4 did.

It is so nice owning a PS5 and knowing that this video can be apply to me, thought I’d never get one.

Copped the PS5 and Series X from Gamestop 1st try on both. Become a Pro member and you get 1sr dibs

The real/hidden secret is not to buy one as it came out wait at least 2 yrs.

When I first got my ps5 it sounded like a air conditioner

Thumbnail: They broke it.

Finally got another excuse to replay every game I've already beaten.

7 months late but I’m confirming Sony forsure messed up the wifi update. Just got my ps5 a few days ago, loving it, but I had to drill holes through some walls to run a Ethernet cable cuz the damn wifi wouldn’t work during set up for the ps5. And it wasn’t my wifi that has issues cuz it’s running fine now thru the lan. This is messed up for people who aren’t as fortunate to have a house and parents/landlords cool with & helping u do DIY stuff (it looks nice/ can’t even see the wire my pops a pro haha). Like come on Sony

I finally got one! Got up at 6 to go be at walmart for 7 only for them not to have them. Then decided to call eb games and they said they might be having a few come in but dont know when. So 12pm I just drove over and got the last disc version. Only thing that pissed me off was they make you buy it in a stupid bundle, I don't really need two controllers and there are other games I would have rather spent the money on than ratchet and clank but whatever, I picked up a copy of ps5 ghost of tsushima so I'm happy for now. Just gotta get me demon souls and MAN I cannot wait for elden ring, god of war 2 and a few other games. I wish sony would start selling games on pc lol I have an awesome gaming rig I would way rather use with a i5 9600k and rtx 3080 but what can you do... Looks good on my 4k tv though :D time to play

My mums gonna laybuy one

Frustratingly when in rest mode only there’s not enough power from the USB port to charge my Astra A50 head set.

My assassin's Creed Valhalla takes up to much

Nice. Still in need of really interesting exclusives. Like every game is still produced for ps4 and all you get is a little higher resolution and fps.. the ps5 hype is only a thing because nobody has one.

Amazing how sony hides everything but you find them, how the hell do you do that?

Just got a ps5. I feel like I’m now in possession of something rarer than gold. Glad I found one cause the ones they’re about to roll out are gonna be terrible due to the chip shortage.

Wait, how do you mean you can't store your saved games? As as long as you can store your saves on the actual ps5 and when you transfer games back and forth between external and console you don't lose everything you did it doesn't matter...the saves don't take much space up so you can keep them on your console....you don't really need to store your saves on an external hard drive.

My girlfriend found the diskless console and jumped on it. I would've preferred the disk version but beggars can't be choosers at this point

Wonder when it'll support external hardrives othereise i dont see the point in getting one tbh

The secret is PS5 is still a piece of s*** I can't play none of my games freezing crashing that's all I get

Glorious video for my 3 ps5’s ✅🤷🏽‍♂️

Hidden feature- if you hit your PS5 controller it vibrates

Finally, today is the day I can watch this. I've waited so long until the day I got a PS5, and today is that day.. let's see what these features are ha

Am I the only one who literally never used rest mode even on ps4?

don't use WIFI

I've been lucky with my ps5 got it in Jan and I havent run into any problems yet

I have been a PC gamer since Crysis but sony put out so many must-have games that I bought a PS4 pro and i was shocked by how complicated it was when it came to settings and optimisation and changes, I thought everyone bought consoles because they are easier to deal with, not so in my experience there seems to be no straight forward way of getting to where you want to go and when you get there your options are severely restricted.
It's the only thing other than the price that is putting me off buying a PS5

Don't buy a ps5 the remotes are trash the spring snapped due to the trigger effect i got a drift and I bought a USB that didn't work so I got a new one super fast thing still didn't work plus it corrupted the first USB I used because moving them it turned off

One feature I love is the ability to hold down the mute button to mute the entire system, that is an amazing quality of life improvement. That being said one shortcut ability I would personally like to see involves using the often neglected TouchPad. For instance, what if while on the home screen, we could use 2 fingers on the TouchPad and swipe either left and right or up and down to quickly adjust the system' overall volume and screen brightness? That would be awesome to quickly quiet the tv or tone down the brightness due to changes in your playing environment. Those are just major settings that would be nice to be accessible quickly without going through menus or grabbing your TV remote.

Every new update now gives my PS4 that annoying rest mode rebuild crap
