The PlayStation 5 Is a Gamer's Dream

Whether you're looking to pick up a new console or just want to check out the latest in technology, the PlayStation 5 is a great option. It's an impressive machine, with a cutting-edge GPU that supports ray tracing graphics, fast SSDs, and more. And it's backward compatible with nearly every PS4 game at launch.

The controller offers some unique features, like haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. The PlayStation 5's interface also comes alive when you're playing games. In the Activities menu, you can see a list of in-game activities and trophies you need to earn. You can customize the system's settings and orientation, and you can choose the difficulty level.

The PlayStation 5's solid-state drive is lightning-fast, capable of streaming high-speed data to and from your games at up to 120 fps. In addition, the AMD Zen 2 CPU and RDNA 2 GPU enable hardware-accelerated ray tracing, which should improve the in-game graphics.

The controller also has a built-in microphone that allows you to make brief chats without a headset. Unfortunately, most games won't take full advantage of it.

The PlayStation 5's controller has a few extra buttons that are not mapped to standard functions. This allows the controller to mimic the texture of PlayStation face buttons. It's a nice change, and one that reminds us of a simpler approach to gaming.

The Control Center lets you view various sub-menus, such as downloads in progress, friends, and more. You can also select which graphical mode you'd like to use.
