Other PS5 Features

  • PS5 supports expandable storage, but don’t buy an NVMe drive without Somy validation if you want to use it with the console.

  • At first, some games may be released on both the PS4 and PS5 at the same time.
  • PS5 offers a digital-only version and one which can support physical media. Both options will be available at launch.
  • Game installations will be more configurable thanks to the way the SSD works.
  • Game sizes should smaller or, at least, better optimized.
  • PS5 will have some form of cloud functionality.
  • PS5 PSVR support.
  • The PS5 home screen will be more dynamic.

What we don’t know about PS5 so far

PS5 UI is finally revealed

  • Finally, we see the PlayStation 5’s home screen — this is what you see when you turn on the PS5 after you’ve fully turned the console off. It’s pretty different from the PS4’s offering, but not radically so. Games and Media are separated into different tabs.
