News PS5's Limited SSD Storage Space Cannot Be Upgraded at Launch
Second SSD slot disabled
There's no getting around the fact that the PS5 simply doesn't have much usable storage space right out of the box. The console's super fast, custom SSD is 825GB, but a chunk of that is taken up by the operating system itself. The bottom line is that you're left with around 650-700GB of free space. And with games like Call...
News Destruction AllStars PS5 Gameplay Finally Shown in Brand New Trailer
Game modes detailed
Destruction AllStars was announced way back in the summer, but we've barely seen anything of the game since, let alone gameplay. Today that changes, however, with a brand new trailer showing off a couple of minutes of gameplay from the PlayStation 5 title. It's looking pretty good. Competitors engage in destruction derby style...
News Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales TV Advert Builds Up the Hype
I'm ready
You can expect to see this Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales TV advert just as much as general PlayStation 5 marketing as we gear up for the big launch next week. Sony has dropped the 30-second clip that will play across TV sets, featuring Miles Morales himself and a bunch of bad guys that are just begging to be beaten up. Check it out...
News Sony: PS5 Launch Will Be Online Only, No Consoles Will Be Sold in Shops
Confirmed
It's official, folks: if you plan on getting a PS5 at launch, either on the 12th November in the US or the 19th November in Europe, you will not be able to buy the console in shops.

News Demon's Souls PS5 Photo Mode, Character Creator Detailed
Create the weird and wonderful
Demon's Souls is famed for allowing you to create some rather eccentric and exotic protagonists with its character creator, and that appears to be staying the same with the PlayStation 5 remake.

News Insomniac Games Warns of Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Spoilers as PS5 Launch Approaches
Look out! Here come the spoilers, man
Insomniac Games is very wary of spoilers for its latest title as the PlayStation 5 comes into view.

As people begin to...
News Sony Adds Game Names to New PlayStation Store on Web Browser
It's a start
Sony rolled out its new PlayStation Store on web browser and mobile near the end of last month, and simply put, it's a huge downgrade on the previous design. Game pages have been stripped of key features like screenshots and even related product links. It all just feels totally unfinished. Fortunately, 'unfinished' could be the key...
News Report Suggests PS5 Won't Support 1440p Output
IGN Italy says no
One of the big questions levelled at the PlayStation 5 which has still gone unanswered a week or so prior to launch is whether it’ll support 1440p output. This resolution is often used by monitors, particularly those that refresh at 120Hz, and there had been hope that Sony’s next-gen console would support them. Unfortunately,...
News DualSense Controller Dock Looks Like a Tiny PS5
Cute and useful
Out of all the PlayStation 5 accessories announced thus far, the DualSense Charging Station is probably the one that gets the least amount of attention. It’s a convenient item, of course: it provides you with a way to not only display two pads, but it also keeps them powered up so you’re always ready to play. How about this for...
News PS5 Advertising Ramps Up Ahead of Launch in the UK
Play Has No Limits

News Days Gone Runs at 60 Frames-Per-Second, Dynamic 4K on PS5
The not-so broken road
Days Gone will take advantage of Sony’s next-gen hardware at launch, running at “up to 60 frames-per-second in dynamic 4K” on the PlayStation 5. The title was previously locked at 30 frames-per-second on the PS4 Pro, and utilised a checkerboard rendering solution to resolve a 4K image. What does this mean in...
News PS5 Comes with an HDMI 2.1 Cable, 120FPS Possible Out of the Box
As long as you have the display
A nice little detail to take into account when you bust open your PS5 later this month: the HDMI cable that the console comes with is actually HDMI 2.1, meaning that it supports 4K resolution at 120Hz (yep, it's the same as the Xbox Series X). In other words, you won't have to go and buy a new HDMI cable if you want...

Random Someone Put the PS5's Pad Under a Microscope
Seeing shapes
As we reported months ago, the rear of the PlayStation 5’s pad is made up of tiny symbols inspired by the system’s iconic face buttons. Now that we have one of the controllers in our home, however, we have to admit that the detail is surprisingly small. In fact, it actually contributes to the grippy part of the controller, and it...

News Part of the PS5 Controller Is Very Easily Removable
Potential for custom parts
Here's something quite interesting that we haven't seen talked about: part of the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller can be very easily removed.

News PS5 Games Won't Support PSVR, Says Sony
You'll have to play Hitman 3 in backwards compatibility
It had been assumed, up until recently, that PlayStation 5 games would be able to use the existing PlayStation VR headset for virtual reality experiences. That’s not the case, according to a Sony statement sent to UploadVR. In a bizarre and disappointing twist, the organisation has admitted...
Hands On Astro's Playroom Is an Extraordinary Demonstration of DualSense
Feel the difference
The problem with these pre-release previews for next-gen technologies like the DualSense is that they can dampen some of the discovery for those who must wait until 12th November to experience it themselves. In this particular instance, though, it’s impossible to spoil the sensation because it’s difficult to even describe how...
News Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Gets Amazing Into the Spider-Verse Suit
Animated like the movie
As with every comic book character, Miles Morales isn't portrayed in just one way. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is a (fantastic) animated movie that puts the spotlight on the hero in a unique way. Of particular note is the film's incredible art and animation style. Wouldn't it be great if you could play a game like that?...

News Dreams Players Who Use Move Controllers Might Want One of Those PS5 Camera Adaptors
But can you get one without PSVR?
Here's an interesting issue. In case you didn't know, Dreams supports PlayStation Move controllers in addition to the DualShock 4.

News This Is What the PS Camera Adaptor for PSVR on PS5 Looks Like
Plastic fantastic
Do you know what PlayStation VR was missing? Another bloody cable! Sony’s somewhat short-sightedness means that the proprietary slot used for the PlayStation Camera on the PlayStation 4 is no more on the PlayStation 5, and thus it’s having to supply PSVR users with a free adaptor to make up for its foolishness. As previously...

News Sony Shares Up-Close Images of PS5 and Its Accessories
The personal touch
It is kind of mental to think that we're now just two weeks away from the launch of the PlayStation 5.

Hands On The New PS App Is a Humongous Upgrade
There's an app for that
Hands up if you use the PlayStation App? It was pretty rubbish, right? We had it installed on our iPhone, but we barely used it because it was slow and functionally quite poor. All of the messaging features were contained in a separate app, and the PS Store effectively booted a Safari page. Yeah, you could see what your...

News The Japanese PS5 Launch Ad Actually Features Games
What are those?
The PlayStation 5 launch advert was designed to be "epic and iconic", but in doing so, it doesn’t actually feature any next-gen games.

News Ooh, Look! It's the Obligatory PS5 Pallet Picture
Greatness awaits
Nothing screams next-gen console quite like the Pallet Picture™. It’s a bit like E3, in the pre-pandemic days, before it went a bit rubbish, and those poor professional graffiti artists would start painting that famous Los Angeles hotel – you know the one. Once you saw that, you knew sh*t was about to go down. And nothing...
