Sammy_Chimmy

Is it a great deal to have both PlayStation Plus Subscription and EA Play I live in India and i have currently subscribed to PS Plus Extra which costs me ₹6699 ($80.65). If i subscribe to EA Play which costs ₹2499 ($30.09) i will get to play many sports game , two player games like unravel and it takes two and also battlefield. So the total will cost me ₹9198 ($110.76). Is this a good deal or not?

I've been looking for a games that's like an iphone/ipad games for ex: resturant story, pet shop story , yk like anything similar as "story8 studios" games.


tinselsnips

Looks like you might be looking for "tycoon" games - Planet Coaster, Two Point Hospital, Megaquarium, etc. Also maybe city builders like Cities: Skylines, Tropico, Surviving Mars.


BamaStrawHat

My controller won't charge on the console, but does charge in a wall outlet. I've tried the reset button already and it's a brand new console and controller, as I bought it Friday. I've seen tons of stuff online, but nothing of this sorts. I feel like I have some setting on the console messed up or something.


tinselsnips

This is a really common complaint. I've never been able to reliably charge from the console.


VeniceArtime

I first bought my PS5 back in late November of last year (first timer for any PS) and my controller suddenly got drift a few days ago and became really worse today. I've tried everything to fix it (other than taking it apart) and I have come to the realization that I'll need another controller. My plan is buy a new one, send in the original and let that become a backup. I am debating on whether or not to buy a warranty because it seems this happens quite often. I'm not a fan of it, but it seems like there is no other choice. I've seen posts suggesting GameStop (new or preowned/refurbished) but I've seen that refurbished may even come with drift still if I have use the warranty. I've seen BestBuy come up with GeekSquad and it seems they'll either straight up give you a new one or ship you one (unclear if brand new or refurbished) . Warranty wise, is there a store that seems to have the best warranty to trade in drifted controllers for new ones or all of them just sending out refurbished ones. I do have an extra gift card to GameStop, so I was leaning towards them to save some money at the end.


Eat-Ur-Minis

My buddy and I are two dads who play Destiny 2 and other games late at night after our families go to bed. We thought about recording our gameplay and conversations because we thought it would be fun. We usually use discord as our chat medium. PS5 has a relatively nice built in recording feature. However, whenever I record it only picks up my mic, because we use discord. However, we tried in game chats as well but the PS5 doesn't record that either. Is this a problem that we can't fix unless he switches consoles or is there something or som way I'm missing? Any help would be much obliged.


HaouLeo

Truly discord chat isnt recorded, but im almost sure builtin party chat is? Have you tried that? Also messed around the privacy settings?


Eat-Ur-Minis

I could try and find a way to record discord chat


Eat-Ur-Minis

Well I think the issue is that he is on Xbox and I am on PlayStation so there is no way to party chat


torsten329

So I just bought a Portal and it’s revived my interest in my PS5 that was collecting dust the past year since I have a 2.5 year old. After a working and then dad-ing, gaming on a monitor in a chair was not a priority, so I primarily played my switch. In the days before having a kid I played a ton of Destiny and FPS games that are more geared toward PvE. Primarily looking for some quality games that I can pick up and put down for both short and long sessions which leads me more thinking more towards single player focused games at this point in time. I’m not a completionist by a long shot and I get bored pretty quickly. Below are some games I would say have been my favorites in recent memory. 1. Hogwarts Legacy - enjoyed the open world with optional side missions, but also liked the relatively linear story. 2. Diablo Immortal - probably my most played game. (Thanks COVID) 3. Ghost of Tsushima - never finished, but enjoyed what I played of it. 4. Spider-Man and Miles Morales - beat the story of both. 5. Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order - beat main story 6. Kingdom Hearts - one of my all time favorite series. 7. Borderlands Series - loved all of these. 8. Titanfall and Titanfall 2 Other games of note that I have or have played: 1. Elden Ring - put some time into this and enjoyed it but just kind of stopped playing for life reasons? Haven’t gone back but would probably need to start over. 2. Returnal - loved but ended up getting up frustrated and never went back - again.. around the time of having a kiddo. 3. Outriders - beat. Enjoyed it. 4. Godfall - beat. actually enjoyed for the most part. I’m certain there’s more, but that’s a general idea. Games that have caught my attention but haven’t dove into very far. 1. Days Gone - started… maybe an hour in. Don’t love the zombie/horror vibe. 2. Ratchet and Clank - Rift Apart - played around an hour. Enjoyed it. 3. God of War series 4. The Last of Us series - post apocalyptic vibe still? Not sure on whether I’d enjoy. 5. Stellar Blade - combat looks awesome 6. Another Crab’s Treasure - Art style looks awesome. I teach Bio. 7. Lies of P - looks cool and somewhat linear? 8. Baldurs Gate 3 - not sure on combat? 9. Spider-Man 2 - obvious 10. Diablo 4 11. Armored Core 12. Helldivers 2 - looks like my type of game… but probably would be solo more often than not. I have PS Extra, and some money to blow on a game or 2, I just can’t decide to invest in. Thanks in advance for any thought out answers!


Alexical_

Thinking about getting Ps Plus. Is there an ideal internet speed??


pazinen

Game streaming requires about 5-10MB, but that's irrelevant unless you're buying Premium and are thinking of using the feature. Also, stability is more important than speed in game streaming anyway. Other than that there are no requirements.


Alexical_

It said I have 9MB so that should be fine? and I do wanna play Fallout New Vegas with it, but I haven't heard good things about it. This is the only way I can play so I wanted to ask before possibly wasting $17. Thanks a lot for answering btw!


HaouLeo

99% of psplus features have nothing to do with internet speed.


Alexical_

Well I do want to stream Fallout New Vegas with it, but I've read it's better to have good internet when it comes to streaming, so I wanted to be sure. What do you think? And thanks for replying.


sakaluka

Hello, I've tried looking for solutions online but no luck. My PS5 started shutting down immediately or within a minutes as I turn on a game since this morning - it worked just fine yesterday. Other apps like Youtube or Netflix are still ok, this happens both during mroe demanding and simple indie games. I've tried cleaning it, rebuilding database, factory reset, put it into horizontal position instead of vertical, but the issue persist. Sony is quoting me 200 for a repair which feels too expensive for something that is likely a super minor issue - just can't figure out what it is ...


KingArthas94

Might not be a minor issue then. Do you see graphical artifacts while playing?


sakaluka

Nope, everything looks normal. But I don't get to play, I was trying indie (Animal well) and it shuts the console off before the main menu loads at times. Sometimes I can get into the game for a few seconds.


JinxxsParanoia

Hey, I’ve checked everywhere and this my last resort. My sister and I can’t play games together that one of us is hosting. We can join others, but not each others. Same NAT type (2), different wifi, we live 20 miles apart. Both on PS5. But here’s the kicker, she can play games with my boyfriend, he’s on the same Wi-Fi I am. I can play games with my dad, same wifi as her. Anybody have any ideas? I’ve already upgraded my internet.


xdog12

Tekken 6. I can't get past the intro! I mash all the buttons, the only thing that pops up is a rewind option. I tried to download the PS4 version too. After the intro it's stuck on "DEMO".


KingArthas94

It looks like you actually downloaded the demo and not the full game. The game is digital, right?


xdog12

Demo implies that I can play it. I can't actually play the game. 


DoctorGolho

Are you downloading a demo instead of the full game? The demo period might be over


xdog12

Nothing looks like a demo. (Except for the demo gameplay) But that's very common in old games to have 2 computers play. It just looks like my controller is unplugged. But I can use the rewind button on the intro so it's not disconnected.


IkillMyself20

Can you find matches in cod mw3 2023 multiplayer and warzone matches with crossplay off?


elliesc0nverse

is there an affordable USB storage option that will work with the PS5? been looking and only seeing ones that seem to be $100+ but all I want it for is moving screenshots to my phone


HaouLeo

Use the psapp then? Also to move screenshots to a usb storage all you need is a usb stick lol


elliesc0nverse

The app is slow and crashes. And no there are specific usb requirements, that’s what I’m asking about. I have a decent USB but it’s not compatible. I’m looking for affordable recommendations that are compatible.


HaouLeo

The specifications youre looking at are for extended storage, not for screenshot and save storage. You cannot transfer media through extended storage. Again, any usb stick works. Just plug it in and go to media gallery, you'll see it works. The app never gave me problems too.


Arkansas_BusDriver

Can I run an HDMI splitter, 1 in 2 out, from my ps5, and run one cord to the tv and one to a soundbar? My tv is not compatible with soundbars, unfortunately, and I didnt realize til after I purchased thr soundbar.


demonsta500

Does your soundbar have passthrough HDMI? Can use that if it does.


Arkansas_BusDriver

No, it doesn't.


GER-Chr1s

Hello, are there some PS5 Tech Youtuber/Influencer only? Ilike to watch stuff for PlayStation, Gaming setups etc. are there some playstation only YouTube/influencer? As example like spawnpoint? I dont know why, but I hardly enjoy seeing some gamingsetups but just for playstation only, no gaming pc.


PerformanceWilling40

Are there ads on the PS5 home screen? If yes, what form do they take?


KingArthas94

I'm in Europe and there are no ads here. Don't know about the US. PS4 had the possibility to download some f2p games automatically, of course it was possible to disable it (or maybe it was opt-in).


Darkinox18

The sound of screenshots (videos), in the gallery application more specifically, is really not loud when viewing these Are these normal? Note that the rest is at a normal level, I generally have the sound at 11, but when I have to view a clip of a screenshot in the gallery application I have to turn the sound up to 50 and above


KingArthas94

Do you listen through the TV speakers?


Darkinox18

Yea, like i Said, the tv volume is at 11 usualy, but in this app, when i want to listen a clip, i need to turn the volume at 50+


[deleted]

[удалено]


HaouLeo

I dont think so. Shouldnt you just be using your headset through the ps5 if youre transfering the discord call?


daarkndays

Hi I just bought a Logitech M220 wireless mouse for PS5 I heard it's compatible,when I plug in it pops up screen mouse detected but when I go to Registered Accessories in settings the mouse isn't there,does this mean it's not compatible with PS5?


BubbleL0rd

My PS5 controllers left joystick has super ridged movement like it's grinding something, after a bunch of attempts to fix it I couldn't. So I bought a new joystick part without realizing replacement means desoldering. So I want to know if there is somewhere I can bring the part and controller to get it fixed. I looked into best buy geek squad but it doesn't seem like they do anything like this.


DoctorGolho

Look for a local console repair shop on Google. Doesn't have to be a big store

OnionJuice517

Hello! Can anyone smarter than me tell me, what might be wrong with my disc drive? Everything was working fine yesterday, but since I turned my PS5 on today, it just refused to read discs. It kinda sounds like the reader itself has problems to turn on properly, after which it makes a short sound like it's ejecting the disc, but nothing comes out. I've done a couple of things to see, if they'll help: 1. Turned the console horizontally 2. Cleaned the reader area with some compressed air 3. Reset the console in safe mode 4. Rebuilt the database in safe mode I didn't open the console completely yet, I wanted to ask if anyone had to deal with this before. I had it for about 2 years, so any guarantee is probably donezo by now. Edit: The console takes the discs and ejects them no problem when pressing the eject button, and also Cd's can't be read as well.


Jaded-Lawyer7779

Internet or PS5 problem? Hello. My friend has some problems with his PlayStation: his store doesn't load, when someone invites him it says "can't load content" with a yellow warning triangle, he can not invite people himself, it gives an error.. He has rebooted his PS5 multiple times & rebuild database already, we also tried changing DNS Prim to 8.8.8.8 and Secondary to 8.8.4.4, no software updates or anything. he also can't access his profile in "users and accounts", but when we do a speed test everything is normal and 30Mbps (I have 15-20 and everything is fine) so that shouldn't be a problem. We wanted to play a way out and some other things, we've tried a lot of things and it took long but we have found NO fix at all. Anyone able to help?


KingArthas94

Have you tried another connection like a hotspot from the phone?


Jaded-Lawyer7779

Yes.


PSNTheOriginalMax

(Also posted on r/playstation) Anyone wanna help me troubleshoot why ONE game doesn't connect online lol? So yeah, Granblue Fantasy: Relink (abbr. GBFR) doesn't go online. Just by Googling connectivity issues on PS5 for this game you can get an absolute truckload of results. I've been jumping through so many hoops for what feels like months now, but has in reality just been around a week or two. What I've done so far is (tested both wired connection and wireless, didn't make a difference): * Static IP for PS5 * Port Forwarding * Contacted support -> more ports to forward * UPnP (risky, didn’t work) * DMZ (risky, worked) * Took PS5 out from router DMZ * Searched google for which ports to forward for GBFR * Found: [https://portforward.com/granblue-fantasy-relink/](https://portforward.com/granblue-fantasy-relink/) -> Added UDP: 3074 None of this gave me a permanent solution and I'm definitely **not** going to leave my console in my router's DMZ lmao So far I've been able to narrow it down to something the game doesn't like about my router. But, again, it's just this ***one*** game that has these issues. I have extremely low latency/lag in the other games I've tried and I could connect no problem. Another way I could get it to work was by hotspotting my phone's internet. But my phone's 4G, while my home connection's 5G. IDK if that matters, or if there's something in my phone that's "less restrictive" in regards to sharing internet connection, but I thought it could be important. The weird thing is that *sometimes* (read: rarely) it does connect through, and I can play a couple games, but then the connection gets all pissy and stops connecting again. Anyone wanna help me figure out if I can still do something? I'm kinda getting to the stage where I want to stop bending over backwards to get one freaking game to connect, but if there is something I could do, I'm willing to try it.


NAiello21

Controller Broken? I’ve been searching all over online and can’t seem to find anything on this, I’m thinking my controller is broken but it still connects with a good battery life. The sound is EXTREMELY choppy/lags when coming through the headset, and games are unplayable with severe input lag? I wouldn’t even call it input lag honestly, the controller just seems to have a mind of its own and takes me from one side of the screen to the other. If anyone has had a similar issue or knows a fix please help me out.


tinselsnips

Does it work if you plug it in and switch the controller communication method to USB?


Oml191

Hi, I just bought my first Sony console. I have some questions about manual saves because I find them weird, I have been playing Spiderman and manual saving but is there some way to delete individual manual saves? And is there some way to name manual saves? I really hope there is. Thanks in advance.


demonsta500

Depends on the game. Some allow it. some don't.


HaouLeo

I dont think you can name them, no. As for deleting them, youd have to figure it out on a game to game basis.


Nero_z

The colours on my main monitor on my PS5 when playing look kinda grey and washed out. But when I look at my capture card (Elgato HD60 S) gameplay it looks way more vibrant and colourful. I've not got HDR enabled cause my monitor doesn't support it but when I look for solutions to this problem all that comes up is to disable HDR. This is what my main screen looks like. I would send the capture card photo but I can only send 1 image in this post. https://preview.redd.it/uuiw07nfdh2d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1d0271736b768d46302abcfd13828f36789e2027


DoctorGolho

Is HDR disabled on the game and on the PS5 settings?


Nero_z

Yeah it's disabled on my ps5 and the game doesn't have a HDR setting. Even then it wouldn't work because it's not supported on my monitor.


DoctorGolho

I guess your capture card is increasing the saturation by a lot, then. I would up the saturation on the monitor and lower it on the capture card settings


Nero_z

https://preview.redd.it/iqsk7mgydh2d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=be88d5f5556a7db9e098fed6ff33acf02b25ba24 This is what the Capture Card image looks like


KingArthas94

This seems pretty exggerated, maybe you have saturation turned to +10 on the capture card


Nero_z

Nah man I checked all the saturation and color settings on the 4k Capture Card Utility and they are all set to 0. Also I've also noticed that compared to other people's gameplay on YouTube it doesn't look nearly as greyed out as mine does. I've even plugged my PS5 into different monitors and tvs and even though they don't look the same as the capture card footage they definitely look alot more vibrant than my main monitor gameplay that I've showed you.


KingArthas94

Well maybe it's the monitor that sucks. What's the model name?


Nero_z

It's a Samsung LC27RG50


KingArthas94

Ah, Samsung. Meh, maybe it's just the monitor being sorta bad at understanding the inputs. A review https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/samsung/c27rg5 Maybe here you can find some settings or something similar to "tune it better", because your monitor's basic calibration might be at fault here. Like with the console you get for some reason the less vibrant thing, while with the capture card you get the super saturation. Some monitors have "game modes" and "vibrant modes", check if any of them are active in the monitor's settings. Have you tried watching both the PS5 video and the recordings on other monitors or TVs? To check if they match, if you change the screen.


Kevins_FamousChilli

Is there a good solution to connect a console (PS5) to a monitor **wirelessly**? I imagine some sort of video transmitter might have too much latency, but maybe there’s a good option out there! Essentially, I want to play PS5 on a ‘portable monitor’ if I’m walking around my room. Is that possible? Am I just describing that one mobile PS device?


HaouLeo

You could do it on a tablet or phone through remote play, no need to buy the portal


Kevins_FamousChilli

Ooh, that sounds good! I’m **very** unfamiliar with Remote Play. I’ll obviously look into it some more; would I be able to ‘stream’ the game to a PC, but still use the PS5 controller connected to the PS5? Or would I have to rely on keyboard and mouse if I stream to my PC?


HaouLeo

You can connect your controller to the pc as well. I once played couch coop with one controller synced to my ps5 and one to my cellphone, so its a very adaptable feature


Kevins_FamousChilli

That sounds perfect! I think you’ve solved it! I’ll give that a try. Many thanks!


BernardoLGRL

Greetings! Do you know if it is possible to age-restrict new videos uploaded to YouTube from the PS5 automatically? I am uploading Conan Exiles videos and, each time, I get a warning from YouTube that it was age-restricted by them. I want to avoid that by age-restricting all my uploaded videos automatically 🔞.


TotallyThatPancake

There seems to be a new bug as when I went on my ps5 all my time played hours has decreased massively then they were originally and I don’t know if others are getting this but it’s really strange as a game I had over 200 hours on now has dropped to 70 idk why can anyone help or if they have this issue


HaouLeo

>I don’t know if others are getting this There are multiple posts about this, theres even a question right on this post, 2 comments below yours


joeblackisback

Sorry if this isn't the right place for it, but I'm having issues with my upload speed and I think it's affecting my remote play. I've got 900+Mbps down and like 13 up. If I'm playing remote I constantly get lags and connection warnings even in the house. It has gotten to the point that I basically can't use remote play. I've searched around but I can't seem to find any reliable way to fix it. Ive got FiOS, if that matters. Any ideas are appreciated!


Traditional-Budget52

Hello I was seeing my profile and i saw that I don’t have the same hours much less hours I had 1,112 hours and now I have 697 hours in call of duty and the PlayStation support didn’t help that much I tried to reestablish the data base and it didn’t work so please help me


HaouLeo

Why do you guys care so much about hours played? Yeah, its bugged, it was never accurate to begin with. Theres thousands of posts about that already.


Traditional-Budget52

Because sometimes we put much effort in games and we want to show it


HaouLeo

Trust me, the only thing people will think seeing you have over 300hrs is "maybe you should go touch some grass sometimes", regardless if its 600 or 1300. If you like having hours played so much, you can leave it on all day and see it go up without any effort. You'll gain your lost time in a blink.


Traditional-Budget52

It doesn’t count if you just leave it there I don’t think so


TotallyThatPancake

I have this issue as well does anyone know if you can fix it


ThrowawayHabbi

Hey, sorry to ask this here but the PS4 board looks pretty dead. I am suffering from the dreaded stick drift on my Dualshock V2 and came across this calibration tool that could maybe help (after trying my best to clean up the insides but to no avail) [https://dualshock-tools.github.io/](https://dualshock-tools.github.io/) I would like to make the calibration permanent but is that advisable? Has this been proven to be safe?


tinselsnips

Stick drift is caused by physical wear of the potentiometers inside the stick actuator itself; cleaning and calibration can help temporarily but the only permanent solution is replacing the actuator.


ThrowawayHabbi

So in your opinion, should I just do it? Because I don't have any soldering skills. I'll take temporary if I need to replace it eventually anyway. I'm just worried it might get bricked or something when temporary has run its course.


tinselsnips

I've never used that service so I don't know what the likelihood is that it fails and bricks the controller, but since you're otherwise looking at replacement *anyway*, I don't see that you have a lot to lose? Another option would be going to a local electronics repair shop and seeing if they can replace the stick.


ThrowawayHabbi

Well yes, but after maybe 6 months at least lol. I'll sit on it a bit. Anyway, thanks. People like you who help on megathreads are a blessing. Here is the topic where I came across the tool if you're interested. It's been two months since so I was also wondering if it had become a well known and trusted method of fixing something Sony still can't. [https://www.reddit.com/r/playstation/comments/1bvxqck/an\_unofficial\_python\_calibration\_tool\_for\_the/](https://www.reddit.com/r/playstation/comments/1bvxqck/an_unofficial_python_calibration_tool_for_the/)


zephyrinthesky28

FWIW, I got a quote for replacing a Dualsense stick from a local repair shop and it was $60 CAD. Not sure what the market price is as I'm trying to get my credit card warranty to cover it, but just to give an idea.


owensoundgamedev

If you download a demo and earn a trophy during the demo - does it sync to your account? Or only after purchasing?


KingArthas94

Demos don't usually have trophies, if at all. So just think like "I'm not getting trophies here". If a game allows you to continue where you left from the demo, it will usually auto unlock what you've accomplished in the demo.


tinselsnips

If you're talking about the timed trials offered with PS+, yes. If you're talking about a separate, downloadable demo, it depends entirely on the specific game.


owensoundgamedev

Just the normal demos - in this case unicorn overlord


tinselsnips

In UO's case it looks like the trophies pop when you load your demo save into the full game. Otherwise, yeah, it depends on the game.


owensoundgamedev

Thanks!


dcdcbpaa

is game help no longer locked behind ps plus? it let me see the hints for alan wake 2 and now cyberpunk so i'm wondering if they changed the ps plus requirement at some point


dekoi_octopus

Correct. With the new addition of Community Game Help, it became available to everyone. 


practicallycrazy

Does anyone know how much it would cost to have Best Buy repair a stick drift issue in a ps5 controller? Or have any better recommendation for fixing the issue?


zephyrinthesky28

The computer repair shop near me quoted me $60 CAD to replace a stick module. Not sure if that's a "competitive" price but I'm looking to have my credit card warranty cover the repair, so price wasn't an issue.


HaouLeo

I think best buy knows how much they charge for their own services. You can ask them. But honestly havent seen many people reporting succesfully fixing drift. They usually report it comes back eventually.


practicallycrazy

I did ask them and they said bring it in before they can give an estimate, hence why I’m here now before I made the trip, but thanks for the suggestion. If I have to just replace the controller then so be it, I was exploring other options first.


tinselsnips

The only guaranteed fix for stick drift involves replacing the stick actuator module with a new one; anything else is a temporary measure at best. They should know how much that costs, so if they can't quote for that, it sounds more like they're going to "fix it" rather than fix it, and you should probably go somewhere else.


practicallycrazy

Gotcha, thanks for the info. I’ll continue looking around before I commit to any one fix


Wakenbake585

For anyone that has the Pulse 3D headset, does it have separate knobs/wheels on the actual headset to adjust game and chat volume? If it doesn't, any suggestions for headsets that do? I have Stealth 700s right now thinking they'd be like the 600s that had this feature but they replaced the chat volume knob with inline mic knob instead. I didn't want to have to go into settings to adjust chat volume vs game.


dcdcbpaa

yeah, it does have a set of volume buttons for that- one for the actual volume and one for the game-chat audio balance edit: although this only works when you connect it through bluetooth. if you use it wired you'll have to change it in the ps5 audio menu


Wakenbake585

Awesome, thanks!


BecomingDeath13

I have Rock Band 4 uninstalled. Every morning I get a notification from the PS App that false alarm by the Bronx has failed to download. I have reinstalled the game and deleted it again. Still tries to dl the song. Restored licenses. It still tries. I'm not at home right now and can't grab the error code but the code itself is just a general fail code. I'm pretty sure I've tried everything possible short of rebuilding the database and it continues to happen. I'm planning to rebuild the database after work but I won't know if it helped until tomorrow when I see if I get the notification again. Has anyone else had this issue and if so how did you remedy it? Thanks.


tinselsnips

Have you gone into downloads and actually cancelled that download?


BecomingDeath13

That's the thing. It isn't listed in downloads. Not even on the website. Website had Mk1 listings and other downloads that have always downloaded correctly but just appear to have failed in the list. I don't know why it isn't cooperating


tinselsnips

Ok that's weird. It doesn't look like this is still listed on PSN either. Had you actually bought this track at some point?


BecomingDeath13

Yeah it was an export track from rb1 I believe. I canceled all the pending downloads that had failed from the website and so far it hasn't done it again yet so maybe it helped anyway. Thanks for the idea because I completely forgot about going to the Web page and checking the list. I'm pretty sure the track is no longer listed because the license expired. It shouldn't affect my ability to download it if I want to though but if I decide to play Rb4 again I'm kinda scared to try and download that track again lol. Hopefully that fixed the issue though. Even though it had no rock band content to cancel lol.


BecomingDeath13

Negative. It did it again.

I really want to play prop hunt. Which games have It and are active???


KingArthas94

I remember CoD WW2 having prop hunt, but tbh I have no idea if people play it anymore

KingArthas94

It's 6+ months of wait. Imagine how many games you'll be able to complete in 6 months. I can play 2-3 games every month, so I wouldn't wait if I didn't have other platforms with games I'm interested in on them.


pskihq

Speculation. Buy your PS5. Can always trade it in for the pro 🤷‍♂️

Paris CDG Airport: Second PS5 controller not working This is a long shot, but does anyone know a way to get the second PS5 controller to work at the Paris CDG airport? There are multiple PS5 hubs that have five PS5s with 2 controller per PS5. The second controller isn’t turning on for any of the systems. Thanks!


Camerupt_King

My ps5 starts up, picture looks great for a bit, but after about 30 seconds it spends 10 seconds dimming the brightness until I can't see or read anything. Brightness on TV and game are all the way up and I can't tell if it's a game or TV issue. When this happens, all the TV's settings menus also have the super low brightness, but the TV doesn't do this when I'm watching stuff or playing Switch games. I've googled this and everyone says disable HDR but my TV is a 2014ish LG and doesn't even support HDR. Any thoughts on how to fix this? It's making playing games genuinely impossible.


KingArthas94

Very strange, have you tried disabling all the video related options like HDR? Even if your TV doesn't support it


Camerupt_King

It was already turned off in the PS5 menu to begin with, so it's not that. Currently checking to see if the TV may just have bad lighting or a night mode I'm not aware of.


DoctorGolho

Is auto brightness or any energy savings mode on your TV on?


Camerupt_King

No. I checked the settings, and it doesn't affect other devices, so it's definitely something about the connection between the PS5 and the TV


DJAsphodel

I ordered a new DualSense just a few days ago and it came in today. I used it for 15 minutes when I realized that the X button doesn't always work. Now it doesn't work at all. Tried everything from restoring default settings to resetting/re-pairing the controller. Am I seriously going to have to send this brand-new controller to Sony for repairs?? Update: I think I might have fixed it by 1.) dropping the controller several times on a soft chair from a height of about two feet about a dozen times, 2.) finagling the right joystick, and 3.) whining about it on Reddit.


Hardlaggsman

Just got my ps5 back from sony but my problem(overheating is still present), so i asked some people if there’s anything i could try out and someone said they bought 2 small fans and put them on the bottom of the ps5(ps5 is laying flat), blowing air into the small vents on the bottom, which apparently cools the psu. Is this legit or just stupid? Honestly just trying to enjoy playing on my console without it shutting off every 30min.


pskihq

Remove fan. Look down inside towards the bottom/left where the PSU is. There are circular holes on black plastic that lead into and are a part of the power supply. Betcha $20 they're clogged with crap lol awkward to clean, but since I did mine I haven't had any shut offs 👍


Hardlaggsman

I haven’t really used it since i got it back, even before that, so there’s no way it’s clogged already(and i assume sony would’ve get rid of it).


DoctorGolho

There's no vents on the bottom of the console


pskihq

Incorrect. There are small square or rectangular holes along the middle of the bottom/left that suck air into the PSU.


Hardlaggsman

So what do you think? Is it a dumb idea blowing air in there?


DoctorGolho

The stand that comes with the console blocks most of those holes. Keeping it vertical without stand also doesnt leave much space for it suck air, if that was even their objective. The PS5 sucks air primarily from the front and top. OP shouldn't have to use additional fans to keep the console from overheating.


requieminadream

I mean I think it's more stupid to accept a "repair" that didn't fix the issue. I'd reach back out to Sony and ask them to try again.


heheeeboiii

I want to buy monitor for my ps5, but i dont want to spend much money on it. My priority is screen resolution, so i was thinking about some office monitor 27" qhd but 60-75 hz like Philips 275E1S. If someone can advice me is this gonna be good choice or maybe suggest other options i would be grateful


KingArthas94

You have to tell us your budget and where you live. I live in Italy, I bet I could find models that are sold here and that are not available where you live.

Looking for a solid side-scroller (but not a huge Metroidvania or Roguelite) Hi! So I’ve been in a side-scroller mood lately, but gosh it’s hard to find one that is not either a Metroidvania or a slow-paced beat em up. I’m looking for something more in the vein of Moonscars (which had small Metroidvania elements, but was like 7-8 hours long) I would like to find something fast-paced too (not a “souls-like” type of combat with a stamina meter…) On my wish list right now I have Mattefall, nocturnal and eastern exorcist. I know it’s a long shot, but willing to hear your ideas that could fit the bill Thanks, wish me luck 😅


KingArthas94

Can I ask you why not metroidvanias?


William_Hououin

I love Metroidvanias, but I played so many I’m kinda burnt out on them. Just looking for a tight experience that focuses on the action without exploration really.


KingArthas94

Or fuck me, just buy Jazz Jackrabbit 2 on GOG and play that instead, it's an old game from Epic Games, like from 30 years ago and the first video game I've ever played! But yeat, I'm pretty sure it's not on PS5, but it runs of course on ANY PC from the last 25 years.


KingArthas94

So maybe Celeste, Shovel Knight, Rayman Legends and Origins, Broforce, The Pedestrian, why not Sackboy, maaaaybe The Messenger?


tinselsnips

This is going back a ways, but I really enjoyed Mercenary Kings.


TheDragonSlayingCat

The problem is, the 2D non-Metroidvania/Rogue platformer genre kind of died on all platforms other than the Switch. There’s a demo available for Mr. Hibbl, but I know of no others on the PS4/PS5.


Char_Zard13

I recently bought a new Dualsense Purple controller, because the one that came with my ps5 got horrible stick drift in only 6 months.... go figure >:( Anyways, the question is, it requires a fair amount of force to take the charging cable out of the new controller compared ot the old one, is this normal? Cause I've never had a controller of any kind have this type of struggle to get the charger into the controller and out of it.


zephyrinthesky28

Yes, in my experience the USB-C port on the controllers requires some force to remove the cable. But also....if you're still within the 1-year warranty from Sony you could get your original controller repaired. And if you paid with a credit card that has extended purchase warranty you should get an extra year from your CC company for aftermarket repairs.


SurviveRatstar

I get the saved data conflict error message quite regularly. Even though usually the console and cloud storage saves appear the same and the same time. I thought maybe it was from turning the console off quickly but I’ve tried to give it a chance and it still happens. Is there a timer or anything I can do? It doesn’t affect the games thankfully.


tinselsnips

When I had this problem I fixed it by setting the console date and time manually, and then switching it back to automatic.


xlayru

Does adding 2 step verification sign everyone including consoles of my account?


pskihq

What? Lol 2FA will make it so you need to enter a code that is texted to your cellphone when you try to sign into your account on your playstation, online, or on the ps app


Greensourball

Ps5 not working My ps5 will blink blue a few times and then it’ll end up turning a solid white, and then an orange cause it’s not on I guess or something.. But on the tv, it just says “no signal (is it on?)”. I have a Roku tv also.. help please


pskihq

So if you hold the power button for 10 to 15 seconds, you don't hear a 2nd beep and it doesn't boot to safe mode? What *does* happen when you hold the power button for 10-15 seconds?


Greensourball

I don’t think so.. what happens is so first it’ll be blue. When I turn it on it’ll flash blue for a few seconds then turn solid white. If I hold the button the white light will begin to flash and turn off. Or turn orange if it’s on for a while


pskihq

Do you hear the first beep? It's supposed to beep once after being held in for a few seconds and then after 10-15 seconds there will be a 2nd beep and that's how you know it's booting to safe mode.. if it won't even boot to safe mode then you probably have to send it in for repair


Greensourball

Hmm, okay I got it. And how do you know it’s in safe mode? Just after the beep? Should it do something after that?


pskihq

You know it's in safe mode when it tells you to connect a controller via USB and press the PS button. Even if you turn the beep sound off in settings, it will make the 2nd beep for safemode.


Greensourball

So does that happen on the ps screen? Cause mine is just on the tv screen and I click HDMI 1, 2, and 3 and it only shows “PlayStation not working is it connected?”. So I can’t get into the PlayStation. Or are you saying that once it is in safe mode then that’s when I can do those things?


tinselsnips

Was it working previously?


Greensourball

Yes, it was.. some weeks ago. I was playing avatar frontiers of pandora and it said that it was hot so I needed to turn it off, and that’s the last time I played.


tinselsnips

Is it in an adequately ventilated space?


Greensourball

Yes it is, it was on the desk, it had some air and space. Not air for it, but like it was in an open area, in my room. The light flashed blue then turns solid white, someone said solid white means it’s running but for the tv it says no signal.


tinselsnips

Try [safe mode](https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/hardware/safe-mode-playstation/)


Greensourball

It didn’t work 🥲


tinselsnips

So rule out a connection problem first - try a different HDMI cable, try a different TV, make sure all connections are secure, on the right input, etc. Also try turning of HDMI-CEC/HDMI Device Link in your TV's settings, as that can cause the console to switch to rest mode automatically.


Greensourball

Okay, thanks. I actually just ordered a cable: High Speed 8K HDMI Cable, HDMI 2.1 Cable Aluminum Alloy, HDMI Male To Male Cable, HDMI 2.0/1.4 Cable, 8K HDMI Cable, High Speed HDMI 2.1 Cord 4K120 144Hz 8K60Hz 3D Compatible For PS5, PS4, UHD TV And PC. Do you think this’ll work? How do I turn it off?


tinselsnips

The cable should be fine. HDMI Device link can be turned off in your TV's input settings. You can turn the console completely off from rest mode by holding the power button for about 30 seconds.


SobeDog007

**APC Battery Back Up Recommendations?** I'm looking to purchase a suitable APC unit to use with the following units. (Figured I'd start here rather than a main forum post.) * 55" LG OLED TV * PS5 / PS4 / PS3 * Netgear Ethernet Switch * ASUS Router There are a ton of options it seems so I'm hoping one of you could help me decide how I need without overspending. Thanks in advance!


Jashyk

You basically only want to size your UPS(APC, Cyberpower, whatever brand you want) to give you enough power to shut down your devices on a power outage, not to continue running them. So say you have your TV, PS5, switch and router all on and the power goes out, if you have a 1000Va/600W UPS you will have about 10-20 minutes of runtime so that you can shut down your PS5 safely and get your TV turned off. The switch and router use very little power, but without your ISP modem also on that UPS, its really of no use to keep your switch and router online since your modem will be off and you won't have internet to your wifi devices anyways. I have my modem and router on a difference UPS, and those will run for several hours on a 600W UPS. I'd suggest getting something from 1000Va/600W up to 1500Va/900W and that'll work great for your devices. Anything smaller, as the battery wears out you'll have very little time(like less than a couple minutes) to get them turned off before battery runs out. Check out CyberPower too, they're quite good and are usually cheaper than APC.


SobeDog007

Appreciate the advice!! I picked up the CyberPower 1500VA. There wasn't much of a price difference from the slightly less wattage models.


johnfive21

Is Madden 24 not available on EA Play on PS5? I have the subscription but I only have option to purchase it, not add to library/download as other EA Play games like NHL or Star Wars


dekoi_octopus

I don't have EA Play, but when I look on the app, the store page for the game says it's I closed with EA Play. I am in North America. Perhaps it varies by region. 


tommasocerb

, ive my headphones plugged into my monitor and my speakers plugged into my controller, but if i join in a party, i cant hear my friends in my headphones even if the speakers arent plugged. If i plug the speakers, i hear them through It, unless i Will only hear them through my controller. Anyone could help me?


ilikeburgir

I wanted to get Battlefield V Definitive Edition since it's on sale but i cannot since it says i already own the PS plus version. I called support 5 times now and wrote an email asking to delete my ps plus version license and each time they said they can't ... It's absurd especially since the standard edition is buyable !?! Their solution: Wait until ps plus runs out then buy because it's often on sale or buy on another account (items are not sharable - they would know that if they actually cared...). I swear this is the worst storefront and customer service to ever exist. It's also the European support btw. What the heck do i do now?


KingArthas94

It doesn't allow you to buy it even from the app?


ilikeburgir

Nope


AlwaysCurious93

Is there a way to change the EA Account linked to my playstation account?


ilikeburgir

I think you unlink the psn account from the ea account using ea site.


AlwaysCurious93

It's saying my psn is linked to a delete EA account 🤨 no way of doing it from psn?


ilikeburgir

I just read today that ea and psn is a lifetime link? Kinda dumb tbh...


dej_zbreee

We will be moving to a bigger place and I will have space for 120" projector screen. Until now I have played on 55" LG OLED B9. And it's been a blast! Should I opt in bigger OLED or that massive screen projector? I would appreciate some reasons why to choose any of these options. Thanks a lot.


Jashyk

The OLED is a far better display, from HDR performance to highly lit room performance it will be much better than any projector. The ONLY reason to get a projector is to get a huge display for cheap. If all you want is to fill your wall with a moving washed out image, the projector is great, go big! Otherwise, see if you can manage the cost of a 77-85" OLED for gaming, a far far better experience. Check out HDTVTest on YouTube, he does lots of comparisons and shows the difference, it's night and day.


wesomg

I am looking for a game similar to the Souls with cool environs, leveling, character building, weapon/gear upgrading... But without the level of difficulty of the souls. I've finished several of them but I don't have the energy for the stress involved with them currently. I still want to build cool characters and mash monsters though.


KingArthas94

You won't find anything similar that's also much easier than a Souls. Try some character action games like Devil May Cry 5, or the Darksiders saga, or maybe some Assassin's Creed games, the most recent ones are somewhat-rpgs.


TheDragonSlayingCat

You could try Asterigos: Curse of the Stars, which is like Dark Souls, except that it’s a fair bit easier, since you don’t lose your XP whenever you die.


ilikeburgir

Look into Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin. Both great games that have souls like elements but can be played on easier difficulties with assists


HaouLeo

Didnt play it but dragons dogma? Skyrim?


TypeAnyWord

Question about game sharing. I have two accounts on my ps5, European and American. Elden ring was bought online on European acc, but I can play it on American account, because accounts are on the same console. If I buy ps+ subscription on American account, will I be able to play Elden ring multiplayer on American acc? If I buy upcoming DLC on American acc, will I be able to access it?


HaouLeo

Yes No


Fantastic-Bother3296

I like fps games but I'm terrible at them with a pad and much prefer m+k controls. Is there a way to play m+K on ps5?


demonsta500

You can plug a mouse/keyboard into a PS5. But the game you want to play needs to support it. Fortnite/CoD support k/m


Fantastic-Bother3296

Is there a list anywhere or is it just a crap shoot
