In this guide, we’ve gathered up everything you need to know about your new PS5 as well as some of the most popular questions and answers, to help you get your next-gen console up and running.

How Much Does PS5 Cost?
Where Can I Buy PS5?
If you’re looking to buy a PS5 on launch day, consult our order guide below for a full list of which retailers will have the PS5 available to order day one.
What’s The Difference Between PS5 And PS5 Digital?
There are a few other differences to be aware of as well. The base PS5 is larger and heavier than the digital PS5, but not by much. Head down to the section on technical specs for a more detailed breakdown.
What To Do Before Getting A PS5
If you’re moving on from the PS4 to the PS5, there are a few things you should consider doing before setting up your PS5. If you have a PS4, that includes figuring out new storage solutions, double-checking login credentials, and backing up your game saves. You should also make sure to order any necessary adapters and clear out space to make way for your new console. Check out the guide below for more.
Can PS5 Play PS4 Games?
How To Transfer Games From PS4 To PS5
The PS5 is backwards compatible with about 99% of PS4 games, according to Sony. If you need help transferring data from your PS4 to PS5, including games and save data, check out our guide below. We’ll walk you through how to complete the process via external drives, plain old discs, or using one of the console’s digital and cloud-based options.
How Much Storage Does PS5 Have?
The PS5 comes with a custom 825GB NVMe SSD, but if you account for the operating system and other default files and updates, you’ll have about 667GB of storage left for games.
What Are The PS5’s Technical Hardware Specs?
Consult the table below for a breakdown on the technical specs of both versions of the PS5, including the high-end standard edition and its digital-only counterpart.

What PS5 Accessories Are There?
Alongside the launch of the PS5 are several new peripherals and accessories, including the brand-new DualSense controller. Find a list of the available accessories and check out our PS5 order guide for a list of where to order them.
What’s So Special About The DualSense Controller?
The PS5’s new controller is the DualSense, and it’s required to play any PS5 games. It retains some of the DualShock 4’s innovations, such as the touchpad, lightbar, and built-in speakers, but it introduces a number of new features. Those include an integrated mic (which is on by default), haptic feedback, and adaptive triggers. Haptic feedback allows for a more nuanced style of vibration that can more accurately reflect the in-game action. Adaptive triggers allow the triggers to also provide feedback, such as providing tension when drawing the string on a bow. When used effectively, it can be quite impressive, as you can read about below.
Do PS4 Controllers Work On PS5?
Yes, PS4 controllers work on PS5, but they can’t be used to play PS5 games. A PS4 controller can navigate the system’s menus and play backwards-compatible PS4 games, but you’ll need the DualSense controller in order to play anything designed for PS5.
Does PS5 Come With Any Free Games?
Yes, all PS5 systems come with one free game pre-loaded: Astro’s Playroom. While a standalone (albeit somewhat short) game in its own right, Astro’s Playroom also serves as a demonstration of what the DualSense controller is capable of. Astro’s Playroom can be removed from the system’s internal SSD to free up space and can be re-downloaded for free.
The PS5 Was Just Released, and People Are Already Curious About PS6
Nov. 18 2020, Published 8:02 p.m. ET
There was a whole lot of hype about Sony’s PlayStation 5 (PS5) before it was even released since it was slated to be one of the fastest consoles that could offer the best gameplay. There was a lot of chatter online about when that would be released, and when it went on pre-order, stores sold out quickly.
The same was true when it hit the market, and within minutes retailers were out, and the lucky few who got a hand on one are already touting how great it is. With all the questions about when people could actually get a PS5, Sony was met with another question they’re probably even less prepared to answer: When is the PS6 coming out?

When does the PS6 come out?
It’s funny to think that people are already curious about when Sony releases its PlayStation 6 (PS6) version when the PS5 is brand new. No one has had too much time to play it yet. It makes sense in one way since it’s very clear that the company does well at making their consoles better with each generation.
Those who wanted to get their hands on a PS5 have been left disappointed with limited stock in the market. They’re really hard to find. Many believe there’s one more chance left in 2020 to pick one up during a Black Friday sale, but most will need to wait until 2021.
This is an interesting indication to Sony, though, who was able to see the demand for its latest release and the hype on social media. We’re sure they’re confident that another console in the future will be a huge success — and chances are the company won’t have to contend with a pandemic to get enough product out to the market.
Sony is so sure of the success of their PlayStations that they even already plan to release a PS6, PS7, PS8, PS9, and PS10. The company has already filed trademarks for all of these upcoming consoles in Japan.
So, even though the PS5 just launched and it’s not even saturated the market yet, people wonder when a PS6 is going to come. We can look at the company’s history to make a guess, since there’s been no official word on when it’s to come yet.

Yes finally! I wish it was longer than 40 mins though. Either way I hyped to hopefully finally see God of War and whatever else is planned.
agree it needs to be longer 40 mins is to short im happy we have one though
Sid Shuman says: “You’ve been awfully patient, and we thank you for that.”
Have we? I think the whole PlayStation community has been climbing the walls! 😆
As long as they get to the point with showing games I’ll be good with the length.
Thanks for the invite, I’ll be there!
it’s great to have great news coming soon, but respectfully I would like to say… Be careful with announcements, information, dates, if the game is cross-gen, only PS 5, or eventually on PC.
Check information 10 times if it’s necessary.
@bravoser Like, don’t tell us if its cross gen until 3 months later, careful?
@andrewsqual..
Stop crying Xbot 🤡
Everyone likes this.
Is this a freaking joke? They should always be sharing news on the future of playstation. Now they need an event to share information? And people are gobbling this up like thanksgiving dinner. FREAKING WOW PEOPLE, WOW.
Hier je suis disponible à et de votre ytuy.
Super excited for this year’s showcase event. Almost thought it’s not going to happen which makes perfect sense considering how covid has impacted development studios around the world. This is such a nice surprise. Last year in September event you revealed FFXVI, God Of War Sequel logo reveal, PS5 price reveal, Hogwarts game reveal, Miles Morales gameplay reveal. Can’t wait to see what you’ve got for 2021 Sep showcase event, lets go!
Still wasn’t as good as the June Showcase though. There are games from Sep last year nowhere even close to getting another screenshot lol.
But most of the big games from the June showcase….. released within 12 months of that event, which was awesome. Even Demon’s Souls was a launch title which nobody saw coming.
You know what PS5 owners would really like? The official storage expansion update! The beta phase is surely done by now and it’s clear which drives work so please let us all have access to our storage bay.
the beta is not done.
Yes please….I need to expand the storage…tired of moving games back and forth to an external drive….I even held off buying some new games because of it. Haven’t heard from many of any issues with the beta so perhaps a good sign that it has been going well and a release is real soon
The beta is still on going, but the good news is that so far its working fine. WD Black SN850 2TB in mine.
Just be happy you even have a PS5! 🙂
Hopefully new units will be coming out or secondary versions of a pro system. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
A Pro system will be very liekly coming in 2023, if it goes the way the PS3 (2006) got the slim in 2009 and the PS4 (2013) got the Pro in 2016.
@andrewsqual… There ain’t no PS5 pro coming 🤡
Kind of unlikely a secondary unit will come out when they’re struggling to supply enough of the primary unit.
@clutch_sam007 Sorry, history says you are wrong.
You probably said the same thing about PS4 “Neo” in 2015 lol.
Finally. Prepare yourselves BOOYYS IT’S RAGNAROK TIME.
let’s go. waiting a lot for this moment… #playstation #ps5
Very excited to check this out! PS5 has been awesome and packed with great experiences so far, cannot wait to see what the future holds!
I’m so hyped 🥳🥳🥳, I hope to see some new game projects, maybe something about God Of War Ragnarok.
Hell yes, can’t wait. Already set on my 📅 Let’s go!
Cap the show the release of the next PS5 System Software so I can start using my 2TB Gen 4 SSD and it sounds like it’ll be a perfect day.
Ragnarok is coming
Will the broadcast be in 4K?
Nothing I’m particularly hyped for 🙁 I am eagerly awaiting Gran Turismo 7 and FF7R-2 (and GTA6 obviously) but that’s about it… Maybe it’s because I’ve got no more MGS to look forward to or get the feeling less games got announced (or interest me) this generation? Usually I’ve already got over ten games pre-ordered. In any case, I hope to see more new announcements instead of deeper looks into games already announced or shown, and have more to look forward to in the future.
No PSVR 2? still looking forward to seeing the showcase but 🙁
Ohhhhhhh Elden Ring! Please!
THANK YOU GOD SONY!
Come back with Only On PlayStation.
Get off PlayStation Jim Ryan and Hermen Hulst NOW.
True to that. Only on PlayStation doesn’t mean anything anymore!
Also glad to read VR won’t appear (sorry for those who do).
Me too because 40 mins is not enough time. It will easily get its own showcase when the time is right.
Final fantasy 16 please!
Yes, it’s about time. Do you know how long we have been waiting to hear something about upcoming games?
But most importantly, fingers crossed that this is the day that we’ll be able to expand our PS5 storage capacity.
Either way, I’m HYPE! And cant wait to see what Sony has in store for us. I wish it was longer than 40mins, but I’m cool with it as longs
as its nothing but 40mins of upcoming games for us to look forward to.
Now if only i could get a ps5 without paying a scalper, then this news would actually excitebme more.
Hypeeeeeee!! And please release the newer software update! I need that expansion for my ps5 games!
I completely agree!! The heart of all systems work is the games however the pink elephant was in the pink room is the PlayStation 5 internal storage.
Nice one Sony hopefully we get to see some fantastic AAA games in the works.
I’m looking forward to this.
After the PlayStation absence at E3, the PlayStation drought at Summer Game Fest, the PlayStation emptiness of GamesCom and the seemingly death of the non frequent State of Play showcase I am beyond excited to get a messily 40 minutes showcase.
I was wildly disappointed at the many, many delays like Horizon 2 and Grand Turismo, disappointed there isn’t going to be a physical release of Kena (digital is worthless for me so no sales for full price from me), and the cash grabbing paid upgrades to get your full priced game using the new PS5 features when PC gets them for free and the game at a lower price than the obscene 80 euro’s in the Netherlands. The new directors cuts are a disappointing state of the business at Sony for me when more and more games aren’t even exclusives anymore and clearly already make an obscene amount of money for the company.
Then there is the heavy focus on multiplayer in an already saturated multiplayer market resulting in more FTE and more money being spent on a service in favor of what makes PlayStation unique and the only reason why I care, high quality, story driven, single player games. You tried the MP thing during PS3 and most of them failed (thankfully).
So this better be good…. no excellent. Give the show a face, not a corporate, faceless voice over. Give me passion for game, hard release dates and a ton of single player experiences. If you want to spent money on developing MP crap, please sell them separately as I don’t want to pay for them (and I do even if they are “free” and “included”) so please don’t.
