![]() We’re still getting cross-generation games like Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Horizon Forbidden West, though we’ve begun seeing PS5 exclusives like Returnal and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Thankfully, the PS5 is backward compatible with PS4 games, meaning you’ll be able to experience almost the entire library of PS4 titles. Bloodborne, Gran Turismo Sport, The Last of Us 2, The Last Guardian, and Horizon Zero Dawn are all wonderful games, and we haven't even mentioned multi-platform titles either, like Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2. The PS4 has some incredible games and Sony has a packed first-party lineup for players to enjoy.

So, it means that if you opt for the PS4, you’ll be missing out on the higher-end features and if you want 4K support, you’d need to opt for a PS4 Pro, which has since been discontinued, but you may find one secondhand. It also utilizes 8GB GDDR5 memory, but reserves up to 3.5GB for its operating system, leaving developers with 4.5GB to work with. Utilizing an AMD Jaguar x86-64 8-core CPU and 1.6GHz predecessor, it’s powered by a GPU with 800MHz clock speed and a GPU capable of 1.84 TFLOPs. Finally, there’s a built-in microphone on the controller so you don’t need a dedicated PS5 headset, though that remains the preferable option.Īs for the PS4, its specs are understandably lower but it's certainly no slouch. Haptic feedback is also included, replacing the PS4’s rumble feature to incorporate subtle vibrations, improving immersion. Unlike the PS4’s DualShock 4, the DualSense controller on PS5 features adaptive triggers, letting developers add resistance to certain actions for more accurate feedback. That said, you can upgrade the PS5's internal SSD storage quite easily.īut that's not all. Unlike the PS4, you can't play PS5 games from an external hard drive, though they can be stored on one. Offering up to 825GB of usable storage with a raw 5.5GB/s throughput (and up to 9GB/s worth of compressed data), it allows for much faster load times, preventing bottlenecks that you might experience on the older hardware. ![]() That being said, some TVs only support up to 1080p HD, though 4K TVs have slowly gained momentum, and you’ll need an HDMI 2.1 compliant unit to get the most out of Sony's new machine.Īnother advantage the PS5 has is its SSD storage, which is custom-built. The PS5 is capable of hitting 120hz for smoother gameplay and supports resolutions up to 8K, though this isn’t available yet with most games. ![]() PS5 also includes an Ultra-HD Blu-ray player too, whereas PS4 is limited to standard Blu-rays. 3D audio is also available through Sony’s Tempest Engine, which was initially exclusive to headsets, but you can now enable this through TV speakers too. So, you might be wondering then, what does this all mean? For starters, the PS5 can support more advanced features than its predecessor like ray tracing and VRR, which were previously exclusive to higher-end gaming PCs. That’s all backed up by 16GB of GDDR6, coming in at a bandwidth of 448GB/s. The CPU runs at 3.5GHz, while the GPU offers 36 compute units running at 2.23GHz and offering 10.28TFLOPs. Sony’s next-gen console is powered by a custom-built version of the third generation AMD Ryzen chipset, which packs eight cores, uses the Zen 2 architecture and Navi graphics. When it comes to specs, no one should be surprised that the PS5 comes out the winner. ![]() (Image credit: Shutterstock/Miguel Lagoa) This situation could continue into 2024, according to Intel's CEO. Thanks to the semiconductor crisis worldwide, PS5 stock has been notoriously difficult to get hold of since it launched, though it’s still hitting sales milestones. However, if you do decide to opt for a PS5, then be warned. It’s worth noting that while the more powerful PS4 Pro model has been officially discontinued, Sony’s continuing PS4 production into 2022, so you should still find new stock at different retailers. There’s also a 1TB edition but that’s widely out of stock, though you can easily expand the PS4’s storage with an external hard drive, supporting a minimum of 250 GB and 8TB maximum. Both console versions are available worldwide, having launched in November 2020.Īs for PS4, you’ve got the 500GB slim model costing $299.99 / £259.99 / AU$610.90.
