The PlayStation 5 features a lot of exciting new technologies, including the Control Centre, DualSense controller, Real-time ray tracing, and the PlayStation Plus paywall. But first, let’s take a look at the UI. Sony dedicated almost an entire UI introduction video to cards. Cards let you jump to different sections of a game by showing you relevant cards. But the specific functionality will depend on the developer. In the PlayStation 5 game demos, Sony showcased features like this for walkthroughs and tutorials. While the new PlayStation 5 will have many features hidden behind the PlayStation Plus paywall, there’s a lot of room for developers to add extra functionality.
Control Centre
The new Sony Playstation 5 will include the Control Centre, a feature that allows you to quickly access settings and other options for your PlayStation game. The Control Centre can be accessed by pressing the PS button on your controller. In addition, the Control Centre can be used to see what friends are playing and to join them in an instant. The video above shows you how to use it.
You’ll also be able to access official game help via the PS5 Control Center. This will help you identify objectives and activities that you might have missed. This can help you choose the best way to proceed. Moreover, you’ll be able to call up a video guide right from the game itself if needed. Although it sounds a little confusing, it’s a helpful feature to have. The PlayStation 5’s system software update will also make it easier to customize your Control Centre to suit your gaming needs.
DualSense controller
The DualSense controller for Sony Playstation 5 has a variety of new features that set it apart from its predecessor. It has immersive haptic feedback, dynamic adaptive triggers, a built-in microphone, and an iconic design that makes it comfortable to hold. With this wireless controller, you will be able to experience all the nuances of a game. Whether you are playing a new game or playing the classics, the DualSense controller will not disappoint.
To connect the DualSense controller to your PC, you’ll need a USB Bluetooth adapter or a motherboard with built-in Bluetooth. You can connect the controller by going to the Bluetooth menu in Windows and holding down the PlayStation logo or the Share button. When you hold them down, you’ll see the PlayStation logo and share buttons light up quickly, and your controller should show up in your list of Bluetooth devices.
Real-time ray tracing
Real-time ray tracing is a powerful visual technology that allows gamers to create highly realistic reflections. This technology is very similar to that used in movies, but the difference is that in games, rays are only traced when they directly hit a virtual camera that represents the player’s view. This means that instead of billions of rays being tracked by the GPU, you’ll only be dealing with a few hundred.
As gaming consoles become more powerful, developers are increasingly making use of ray tracing. Currently, ray tracing isn’t used much in games, but it will become more prevalent in future consoles, especially with the power of the PS5. It is already being used in some games, such as Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.
Game lineup
The PlayStation 5 has a stellar game lineup. The launch lineup includes games from the PS1 and PS2 eras, as well as some titles from the PS3 era. PlayStation 5 games will be able to run games from other platforms, such as the Xbox One and PC, as well as some cross-gen titles that will work well with the PS5.
The launch lineup features a few must-have exclusives for the PS5 but will be joined by a ton of major games that PS4 owners can enjoy on their current system. God of War Ragnarok, the eighth game in the series, will be released in November, but there are tons of other games coming before then.
Other notable games coming this year include Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered and The Elder Scrolls 6. The PS5 will also likely have the first installment of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, which will be released early next year. Other games are expected to be developed for the PS5, including a game by EA.
