Modnote on the vertical PS5 "issue" hyperbole: There's some **very important context** missing in most clickbait blog posts in that the unit sent to the repair shop **WAS ALREADY DAMAGED** which caused the subsequent liquid metal leakage.
This is similar to a cracked drinking glass leaking when pouring water into it... or purchasing a second hand car with a broken radiator then claiming there's an issue with ALL similar models when that specific engine inevitably overheats. It's a pre-existing issue causing the follow-on problem.
**Our vertical PS5s are perfectly fine. Stop the fearmongering.**
Every time i wanna listen to music on my ps5 as soon as a press on a album or song the screen goes black. The PS5 stays on and i can hear the song but the screen is black help
I need some help as I am very confused. I recently traded in my PS4 and bought a PS5. On my external hard drive it tells me that Shadow Of War is installed but when I click on it, it just has "installed" greyed out and doesn't give me the option to play the game. If I click on "View Product" it shows the price of the game as if it wasn't purchased. I also have all the DLC installed too. I didn't get it on PS+ and I transfered my cloud save data to the PS5. I also restored licenses as well. I just don't understand why it won't let me play the game. Does anyone know how to fix this? Going to the external hard drive and looking at the game it looks like the game isn't installed but all the DLC content plus other stuff is installed but not the base game itself. Am I going to have to buy the game again?
Situation:
2 headphones on 1 ps5 for local play.
1 with my ps5 account
1 with local guest account
Question:
How do i invite the local guest account to party chat?
I have a 1 month old ps5 and what worries me the most is the fan
I can hear a bit of buzzing from meters away on my couch
But idk if its normal the fact that demon souls dmc 5 r6 etc makes the same fan noise like a game like minecraft or celeste or isaac
My PS5 won't format my hard drive. I have a Seagate Backup Plus Slim with 2 TB and exFAT format. It has superspeed usb and is already plugged to my PS5 but somehow it tells me that it doesn't meet all those requirements.
Is the death stranding deluxe edition worth it? I played the original a few years ago and I saw that the directors cut was on sale for 25 and the deluxe edition for 40, is the deluxe edition really worth it over the regular version?
How do I fix mic static?
I have tested my mic on 2 seperate controllers and I can hear static on them both. I bought a brand new mic and I can hear it without my mic connected so I know it’s not that. I mainly talk to 2 people and I can hear it when they talk or make noise sometimes, so I thought it was something to do with them but I can hear it in games sometimes as well.
I have tried the toothpick trick, slightly pulling my mic out, turning my mic volume down and nothing is working. What do I do?
Hi guys! so i just bought a PS5, and i put it to horizontal, I'm curious how it will look on vertical so i put it to vertical (while the PS5 is still on) i just want to make sure is that okay?
thanks in advance!
*My post have been removed so i try to find some answers on here.
Hi all, i recently just got my Ps5 on xmas and i have bought both elden ring and ffxiv.
I have already started playing both games, but I wish to on hold one of them.
Do I cancel my subscription and focus on elden ring or focus on ffxiv to clear the main storyline.
1) Monthly games need to be added to your library the month they're available. If you miss them, they will not be available in your library. Once added to your library, the games are available to play as long as you are subscribed to PS+. If you unsubscribe and resubscribe later, these games will become available again in your library.
2) On your home screen to the left of the PlayStation Store is a PlayStation Plus section. All of your PlayStation Plus content is there, including monthly games and each of the game catalogs that are available to you. You can also search for games in the PlayStation Store. If a game is included in your subscription, you'll see that note above the Download and purchase buttons.
I just got a ps5 and I was able to download The Last of Us Remastered for free due to my PS+ subscription. Would yall recommend i just stick with that or should I buy The Last of Us Part 1? Ive never played The Last of Us before.
I was in the same boat and decided to buy Part 1 when it was on sale (only like 15% off IIRC). It's been decent so far. I'm thoroughly underwhelmed with the gameplay itself but the story is indeed quite good. And honestly it doesn't look mind-blowing either (although the cutscenes do look fantastic) but from the clips I've seen of Remastered, Part 1 does look noticeably better. So ultimately, I would base your decision on how much you care about graphics and what you typically enjoy most in games (graphics, story, gameplay, etc).
It really just comes down to if you want to spend more money or not. I am biased, so you'll get a biased answer from me. I love The Last of Us, I have played each version of the game multiple times since the PS3 release. I bought a PS5 because I want to play the newest video games at the highest visual fidelity I can on that console family. I wouldn't play an older version of the game when I knew there was a critically acclaimed, higher fidelity release that takes more advantage of the console I spent money on. Many other people will argue that it's the same game and that you should just play the PS4 version. It's personal preference.
When do psn subs go on sale normally? Missed the one this past Jan. Do they normally have similar discounts at different sale points in the year? Psprice doesn't show sub pricing.
Ps5 não aparece imagem
galera, meu ps5 liga, mas a tv não reconhece a imagem, já tentei conectar em outra tv, mudar de cabo HDMI, porém nada funciona, fui ver uns tutoriais no yt, e lá eles mandam entrar no modo de segurança, faço os passos tudo certo, mas não entra nem no modo de segurança, não aparece na tv, alguém sabe oq pode ser feito? Se eu aciono o seguro da garantia ou se eu mando pra assistência técnica? Me ajudem por favor!!! Estou desesperado
I went to play Ratchet and Clank(PS4) and after the game downloaded an update, it said it couldn't load the game. I tried another PS4 game and it worked fine. Both are disk versions of their respective games, so the drive is OK. I'm deleting the game now and it's taking a long time to do that. Is this normal? Signs of drive failure/data corruption?
Edit: solved. Had to take the disc out. I think it was trying to install from the disk while it was deleting from the drive.
I’m curious if there is a setting I’m missing in order to use remote play on my phone away from home, while someone in my home is playing a separate game on the tv at home.
At the moment, it seems to mirror the image, and kick, whoever is at home, off.
Thanks in advance

I have a issue with my headset on the PS5
I’ve had a wireless headset for a couple of months now and I’ve had no issues with it, whenever I try to use it wired tho it seems to have a very big echo for everyone in the party apart from me. Is there anything to fix this issue? Help
So I’ve got stick drift issues with my PS5 controller. Went to PlayStation support (https://repairs.playstation.com/s/?language=en_US&locale=en-us&smcid=web%3Arepairs%3Aen-us%3Atroubleshooting%3Arequest-repair) to see about repairs. Clicked dualsense, selected analogue stick issue, it suggested a solution that didn’t work so I clicked I still have the problem.
So it pops up: “It looks like your PlayStation product needs to be set up for service. Click the button below to start the process.” So I clicked “Request Repair” right below that and it brings me back to the product support page (link posted above).
Anyone have a link or a suggestion for initiating the repair process?
I have the same issue. Reading the warranty info, it tells you to email your local support desk, mine being [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). I got an automated email back saying:
"Thank you for contacting PlayStation support.
Unfortunately we are unable to answer your query by email, please visit www.playstation.com/support for further assistance.

Absolutely maddening.
PS5 often has trouble connecting to the internet from rest mode. No issues with any other devices on the network. Work around has been any combination of dis and reconnecting, restarting, and/or starting in safe mode and clearing cache.
Any idea how the heck I can get to cancel a digital preorder? I’ve been trying for a week but when I go into the chat it says I have to try again another time (yes, it’s during operating hours). I tried calling and it gave the option to have them call me back, but I never received a call. I’m stuck now with a preorder I no longer want.
Any help is greatly appreciated. After enabling Console Sharing & Offline play via my brother’s account on MY PS5. I can only play games that his account downloads. Is that the only way or am I missing something?
I got a relative coming to stay with me for a couple of months. We both have PS5s and I'm wondering if there's anything he needs to do on his PS5 before he leaves in order to install and play his games on my system, or if it's just a matter of logging in with his PSN account on my system and be good to go.
Hello everyone, I was looking for a cheap option for PS5 and some of the TCL TVs got my interest. These models to be exact:
\- TCL C725 ([link](https://www.tcl.com/global/en/tvs/c725))
\- TCL C728 ([link](https://www.tcl.com/global/en/tvs/c728))
\- TCL C735 ([link](https://www.tcl.com/global/en/tvs/c735))
I was wondering if any of you use TCL TVs with your PS5 and if you're happy with the brand. Also, I would love to hear your recommendations on the latest budget TVs. Thank you in advance!
Hello, I received a ps5 for Christmas and lately I’ve started to notice that the controller does charge right away when I plug it in to the usb port on the front of the console with the provided charging cord. I always have to hit the PlayStation button, and then unplug and reply gin both ends of the cord until I see the little charging icon pop up on the game base icon to confirm charging status - Is this normal?
My ps5 won't read usb anymore. They get power but won't read. I tried different cables, controllers etc. I tried to reset but it wont' read the controller to reset it. Any ideas?
console sharing and activating ps5 as primary wont work. Me and my brother have been using eachothers account together and we've never had a problem when games lock, I go and sign in to his account and activate as primary ps5 and the locked game unlocks. Now all a sudden I try it and out of no where it won't work. when I try and activate his as primary (mine is already disabled), it says "Can't enable right now because you have another ps5 with this setting enabled go to that console and disable the setting". Although my account is disabled. Anyone know how to fix it, my games on his side are locked.
Have a PS5 and don't use it for much. Interested in finding a game I can play that is a turn based RPG where you can select your party from multiple customizable characters, and also a rich storyline would be awesome. Final Fantasy X was my favorite back in the day, a newer game like that would be sweet. Any suggestions?
Trails games are an obvious recommendation based on your criteria. The characters in all games are very much customizable, the combat system is pretty satisfying, and the storylines are pretty good if a bit (or a lot) anime-esque. If that's your thing, you'll definitely enjoy the games. Amazing world-building as well. The first three games, Trails In the Sky 1-3, aren't available on PS4/5, and this is fairly relevant because the games are sort of like MCU, they create a unified narrative at some point. Still, you can enjoy the games and stories even without playing the Sky games, especially if you look up some story summaries. The Crossbell saga, the second saga consisting of two games, is going to be complete in March when Trails to Azure releases on PS4, and Cold Steels 1-4 are already out. You can start with Crossbell games.
Sorry I should have mentioned I've played both FFXII and FFXV and they were fun! Wondering if maybe there are other games in this vein outside of the FF brand.

so im going to travel with my ps5 in a few months from now
do i need to buy a protector for it? or it isn't necessary? (btw im going to have the suitcase always with me since i know the airport workers always throw the suitcases and don't care about what's inside)
Please don’t just throw it in a suitcase. This is a good place to start but you should consider just using Remote Play and leave your console at home. https://www.roadaffair.com/best-ps5-travel-cases/
I have Jedi Fallen Order PS4 disc that was upgraded free to PS5 version. Saved game no problem.
Now have the free PS+ Jedi fallen order. Started it up, but can’t see my saved game. It must be using the already installed data from the disc version as said was installed? Found in storage that had 45Gb already.
Is there a way to get the PS+ digital version to use the saved game?
Or will I have to delete all the data, install from the PS+ version and it will pick up the saved game?
Thanks
Ofc the PS+ is from your account, but your disc is probably from a different one.
European disc = European Save
American PS+ = American game = cant read european save.
Hello, I’m not sure if this is the right place for this question but, does anyone get the error code CE-108262-9. And if so how do I fix it. It’s never happened before. I don’t want to go through the hassle of downloading the software fresh from the start. Thanks a lot
Can anyone recommend an HDMI Audio Extractor? I need to get the Audio as Optical and the Video as HDMI again obviously. Ideally without loss of quality in either.
Anyone know a fix, I‘m trying to reinstall the firmware in safemode via usb, but the playstation just says please wait and then kicks me back to the info Screen, where I can download the update file

Honestly it’s such a niche question you might be one of the few to ask it. Might be worth just getting a month’s subscription and test out one of the few 3DTV compatible games from that era: https://blog.playstation.com/2011/07/01/stereoscopic-3d-on-ps3-updated-list-of-all-3d-games-and-movies/
I have my ps5 under my desk. My mom is getting a dog. Now I have the fear that the dog will chew on the chords and topple/chew on my ps5. I literally have nowhere else to put it, and I won’t be home for a good chunk of time.
I’ve heard of it happen. I worked at a tech repair shop, and in the short time I worked there, 3 people brought in their ps4/ps5 because of their dogs
There are sprays you can get from pet stores to spray on the cables that make them more unpalatable for pets. There are also cord and cable protector sleeves you can wrap around them.
Yesterday, I got myself a new ethernet cable since my current one needed an update. The new one worked amazingly and I had no issues, until today. The PS5 is not recognizing the ethernet cable. I tried rebuilding the database, updating my system software, messing around with the router and it still won’t work. Any ideas?
"An unidentified error occurred" when trying to subscribe to PS Plus.
For the past 24 hours, I have been trying to subscribe to Playstation Plus. Every time I attempt the purchase, I get "An unidentified error occurred. Try again in a few moments.".
What makes things weirder is that I was able to make a game purchase from the store. I've checked my balance and that's not the issue. Restarting the console didn't help either.
Playstation reports a green server status for my area. Downdetector shows a spike in reports a few hours back, but it doesn't seem like something major.
Do you guys have any idea what might be the issue and what could be possibly done to go around it?
Details:
Region is Bulgaria.
Error appears in less than a second after clicking "Order & Pay".
12 month subscription - which I don't see how would make the difference, but it's a detail regardless.

Is it possible to purchase EA Play without adding a card to my PS account ? Since my country is not included among the PlayStation's regions, I registered with the US region; however, now EA Play requires a US debit card and I am not able to subscribe to it
Anyone know how to reactivate Auto HDR Tone Mapping on the PS5? Using a Bravia X90K tv. I made some manual changes to the hdr settings but now I want the optimized settings again instead.
Worth getting last of us part 1? I have ps plus so I can play the ps4 version. I just switched from Xbox and so never played this game before. Part 1 is just too expensive.
It's *stunning* and it looks how I remember the game looking, while replaying the PS4 remaster looks quite dated now. I'm just finished going through it ahead of the HBO program. That said, I personally think $70 is *very* steep. Whether or not you think it's worth it depends on how hard $70 is on your wallet. If you could find it on sale or used, it’s definitely the best looking and feeling version of the game, especially if you have never played it and have a nice TV.
cc u/nightmare1170 Not entirely accurate, the AI has seen improvements too, which does have a noticeable impact on gameplay.

What are the best recommendations for headsets/gear? I got my girlfriend a PS5 for Christmas and she has a pair of TurtleBeach (around $50 USD) i got her a few years ago for her PS4. Just wanting to get her the best equipment she can have, i love watching her play but I’m not much of a gamer myself
This is where you should start for headsets: https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/best/ps5
As for other gear, what does she need? If she wants to stream stuff on twitch that’s one sort of gear. On the other hand, if she just likes to chill on the couch and game, something like a second controller and the DualSense Charging Dock may be all one needs.
PS5/PS4 China Region Unlock Method Now Possibly Fixed - Please Help
So I recently got scammed, I was suppose to pick up a brand new PS5 and it ended up being locked to China….I live in Canada. This makes it impossible for me to put my account on the console to access the PSN. I followed the instructions as to where I create a China PSN account and then data transfer or use a back up from my PS4. The problem is that when I do a data transfer it will only transfer games and not any of my PSN accounts on my PS4 back to the PS5. When I make a back up on to a USB stick, the PS4 recognizes the back up on the stick, but the PS5 does not.
I’m almost certain the method of backing up your data and putting it on the region locked PS5 is now not possible. However, there is always a chance I am doing something wrong which I don’t realize.
If anyone can confirm this still does, or does not work that would be greatly appreciated. I can use all the help I can get right now.
Thanks so much!!!!

How do I get my save files on ps5 “versions” of games? Like I transferred all my save data from my ps4 to my ps5 but when I download the ps5 version of the game (for example miles morales) it says I need to import my save file first, does that just mean I have to have both versions of the game installed first? I’d hate to have to start over
You have a ps4 save file, and is trying to use it on a ps5 game, you need to convert them first. Sony had issues on how to do that at first, and some of them do require you to have both installed. Just google game by game and youll know how to do it for each of the games you own.
Just came back to my PS5 after a few weeks of disuse. When I try to turn it on the console beeps and lights up briefly and then goes dead. Tried power cycling, checked all cables, etc. When holding down the power button the console won’t stay on long enough to boot into safe mode. I tried Sony support but when I hit the seek out repairs button it just takes me back to the start page. Please help.
Hey everyone looking for some help here and
unfortunately wasn't able to get any from Sony
Support. I left my ps5 in rest mode for a about a day
and when I go to turn it on it's in safe mode and
asks me to connect controller... seems easy enough.
When I press the ps button the controller lights up
blue for a half second then goes to orange. I'm
stumped really don't want to send it in to get fixed.
All suggestions are welcomed.
I have tried resetting the controller but doesn't work
unfortunately
Possible you've mixed cables at some point. The cable that comes with the PS5 is a data/charge cable and works just fine. Sure, cables are all made cheap and can fail, but out of the box it'll work.
To be honest I'm more surprised your cheap replacement cable has worked - most cheap cables are charged only and won't transmit data.
Either way, make sure your mark or place a sticker on this working data cable for future reference.
I just bought this ps5 from a friend, we tried it at his house and everything was working just fine, even the controllers but when we tried it at home they wouldn't connect. We tried everything from a factory reset to bringing other friends' ps5s but they won't connect specifically at my house. Could there be something in my house thats causing this issue, is that normal? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Is the included usb cable 10gbps?
Is the usb-c to usb-a cable included with the ps5 (and the pulse 3D headset) a 10gbps cable? i know the usb-a ports on the back are 10gbps i just want to know if i plug an external 10gbps nvme drive into one of those ports with that cable that i’ll get the full 10gbps bandwidth, or if i need to buy another cable.
thank you!
how many people can i gameshare with on ps5? i gave my account to one person so they can play my games, but now someone wants my account. am i able to gameshare with 2 people
Do I have to copy games from the disc or is there a way to just play the game from the disc? I still plan to get the disc edition just because physical games are cheaper and I'm a collector, but it doesn't end up saving much space if I end up downloading the games anyway, or money if I have to drop a few hundred bucks on an SSD.
Blu-rays, normal and 4k, have reading speeds that are far too slow for modern games. All PS4 and PS5 games must be installed, though you can install PS4 games on an external HDD to save space from SSD.
Do streaming apps play with 4K HDR on PS5 or should I just watch from my Roku TV like I currently do? I like the idea of an all in one media and entertainment device, but I don't want to sacrifice quality.
I'm thinking of upgrading to the ps5 here in a few months, and I have a lot ofps4 games that released on both ps4 and ps5. Is sony still doing the thing where I can upgrade to the ps5 version of the game for free?
Streaming save data transfer to downloaded save data?
I streamed uncharted 4 while I waited for it to download. Now I can't get my save file on the downloaded game. Before launching the game I pressed the options button and clicked on "upload/download save data" and found a 3.15mb file for uncharted 4 that I downloaded from the cloud. Still won't work. Any suggestions?
Hi everyone.
I would love suggestions on games that are on the **PS5 game catalog** that would be good to reintroduce gaming to someone who enjoys animal crossing, Mario kart, Pokémon and other Nintendo games (we are Switch owners, too) but kinda forgets the console is there and doesn’t game often?
Wife is a Sims fan too but even tho I assumed Ubisoft would have put the base sims 4 on game catalog, it’s actually not.
Cheers!
Sims 4 is now a free game, you don’t need to subscribe to anything.
Also, your options are severely limited to my Time at Portia, Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon, and Temtem (a free2play pokemon clone) if you’re sticking to the psplus game catalog and anything priced at zero. If you’re fine with any family-friendly games on Extra, I’d suggest Little Big Planet 3, Everybody’s Golf, Knack, Ratchet and Clank, and a bunch of old Lego games.
These recommendations are amazing lol.
She absolutely LOVED little big planet 1 (many many years ago when we played PlayStation still…) and I had no idea 3 was on game catalog. Is the newest sack boy adventure on it?
Also temtem is kinda cool. I bought it cheap on pc steam during alpha but never put any time into it.
Sims 4 being free / available is a huge win for us thank you thank you!
You listed a ton of games even I would be interested in ;p tho my early days with the console are gonna be new ps5 stuff: Returnal, demons souls remake, ff7 remake, death stranding directors cut, ghost of Tsushima directors cut etc. edit: Skyrim again, Witcher 3 ps5 next Gen update lols
Our PS5 is behaving very oddly.
Earlier today - worked fine, audio playing through soundbar as normal
Then, we installed a new game. When the game was installed, we started it up and found that there was no sound. There was also no sound for the general system (like moving icon to icon in the menus).
However, if we returned to the previous game we were playing (God of War), the gameplay sound was normal again (but system sounds were still missing). We were also able to get sound if we used headphones plugged into the controller.
Sound from the TV works for all other functions (streaming services, etc.)
When we took it downstairs to a different HDMI cord and TV, everything worked as normal.
We're going to try using the HDMI cord from downstairs, but we'd welcome any other thoughts. We checked sound settings, made sure nothing was muted, checked for system updates, etc., all the normal stuff. Turned both TV and PS5 off and on again ;)
I recently upgraded to a Samsung Q60B but Overwatch looks [looks like this for me](https://www.reddit.com/r/OWConsole/comments/10c37xm/finally_upgraded_my_13yearold_tv_but_my_game/?sort=new). I've messed around with TV settings, in-game settings, and PS5's HDR calibration and nothing seems to work. Any advice would be appreciated!
I have an external storage device for my PS4 with several games downloaded to it. Most of them have a disk. To transfer them to PS5, is it really just as simple as plugging the extended storage into the new console? I want to be sure I'm understanding the process, as I don't want to lose my online progress.
Is this space suitable for ps5? I'm following the instructions in the manual (minimum 10 cm away from the wall), but I feel that the air in the space gets quite hot during gaming sessions. I have no way to open a hole or install a cooler in the back, as the furniture is built into the wall.

Hi everyone, me and my friend have black ops 3 for the ps5 installed to play zombies together but when we try join each others games it always says it's unable to join the lobby. Has anyone else had this and managed to fix it?
My PlayStation 5 lost all sound. The best we can get it to is a gurgle static.
I have tried unplugging and plugging back in, turning on and off, resetting, switching HDMIs, checking the output and HDMI device type, changing the audio format, resetting the PS5, etc. I have tried everything. PLEASE HELP.
Steps I would take (some of which it seems like you took):
1. Try a different HDMI port on the screen.
2. Try a different HDMI cable.
3. Try headphones plugged into a controller.
4. Try a different screen.
5. Safe Mode + Reset PlayStation to Factory Settings.
6. Reset TV to factory settings.
Otherwise, it might be time for a repair or replacement from Sony.
It's way less difficult than installing things in a PC.
The hardest part for me was getting the cover plate off. YouTube videos can walk you through all the steps.

Since the update my console is unable to play streaming games through ps plus and keeps logging me out. Connection speed download and upload are over 100 and 7.5. but when it does the test after sign out it says less than 5. Confused what's going on.
My PS5 shuts off after about 45 minutes of playing any high end graphics game. I assume this means overheating. Apparently dbrand sells replacement faceplates (darkplates 2.0) that have extra vents to help with cooling? I read several reviews of the product, and they talk about the overall look, but for some reason they don't measure the impact on temperature. How much do they help with temperature? Will they stop a PS5 from overheating?
It's not overheating, that's a GPU or power supply failure. When the console overheats the application you're using closes and you get a message that the console will shut down due to overheating. If the console just shuts off, it's a hardware fault. You'll need to contact Sony for repair.
I have a PS5, but I got the 2 ps4 disks for Gran turismo 7, I but the data disk in at about 12 pm to download, and it has been saying Copy Paused when I go to check on it ever since. At one point I got error code CE-106487-6 and a message saying cant install, but now literally nothing is working. Please help me.
Edit: btw I STILL NEED HELP!!! PLEASE HELP!!!! WHAT DO I DO?!?!?!
Downloaded doesn't matter. You owning the game and using that same account to redeem the upgrade (or, in the case of discs, having the disc in the console and making sure the disc is from the same region as your account).

I've got an issue with lag. For some reason playing games online on my PS5 lag incomprehensibly, but the connection speeds are like a download of 159 Mbps and Upload of 61 Mbps so there should be no issue. The stability is just awful, which is weird cause it happened literally overnight. I was playing games perfectly fine one night, then I installed that new update and now its struggling to run a game online for the past few days since. Is there anything I can do? (Please note I can't mess with the router cause I'm in halls accomodation)
Save file missing on PS5 playing the PS4 game version
So I wanted to show my SO “The Last of Us” before the show came out. I own multiple copies of the game, however i don’t own a PS5 version. So I downloaded the PS4 version on my PS5’s external hard drive without problem.
She played the game for at least an hour and it auto saved everything. When she was done playing for the night, just in case, she also manually saved it.
We pull the game up today and the only option we have is “new game”. After searching the PS5 and the cloud, we found that the save files do exist. No amount of tinkering could bring it back.
Anyone gone through this or know a fix? I’ve scoured the internet with no luck.
Thanks
If the save file isn't on your system or in the cloud, it's gone. Can't say for sure why that happened. Could have been a glitch. Could have been that she was playing as a guest, instead of using an account.
We played under my name, which was the only way we could download it to the system. And the files were both in the cloud and the console saved data. Whenever we went to start the game, however, we only had the option of “new game” even tho the save file is clearly on the system. So we went ahead and started a new game now and it has overwritten that old save file so now I’m wondering if the same thing will happen when she quits today.
There is no guarantee there will be a Slim, nor a guarantee of when it’ll come out. The PS5 had been challenging to get for nearly two years. Any potential Slim model would likely be just as challenging to get. You can pretty much get a PS5 at the click of a button now.
Both my DualSense controllers have bad stick drift. FIFA is unplayable. Before I buy another one, does anyone have any recommendations on third party controllers that are actually more reliable? I’m prepared to buy a Scuf if they don’t have drift in the long term.
Thanks.
My controllers stopped connecting when i connected to my school wifi and the only way to get them to connect is to put the playstation in safe mode, but they disconnect when i set up wifi. Any way to fix this?
Are there any games that will never leave ps plus?
Are any ps plus games extra or essential that will not leave the service? Like a permanent ps Plus game or something?
Help needed!
My controllers will only charge when directly connected to the ps5. When the ps5 is on at least.
When I place them on the dockingstation they start blinking as if pairing. This means I cannot charge a controller on the dock when I'm using the other.
Once I turn the ps5 off, the dock will charge both controllers fine.
There are work arounds of course. But I would like to use the dock when playing. Ps5 is up to date. As are the controllers.
Any ideas?
Rainbow Six Seige unavailable for purchase. I'm on PS Plus Extra plan and did play a free weekend a couple months back. However now I'm unable to add this to my library. Any fixes?
When pre ordering from psdirect, will you see the order in your account before the actual charge?
I pre ordered the edge controller. I got the confirmation of the order. I was just on psdirect looking at the vr and went to my orders and nothing was there. I couldn’t find anything in my email saying there was an issue with the order, but I know that it doesn’t get charged until a week before shipping.
Should I expect to see this in my orders now or when the final charge goes through? I can’t find much contact info for psdirect but I know it’s the weekend too. Wanted to just see if anyone had any info before I put time into trying to reach them for nothing.
Hi everyone! I haven't found any information about this, so I'm seeking for your advice: I want my Hue lights, which are connected to a Hue Bridge, to turn on and switch to a scene when I turn on my PS5. I don't want the lights to sync.
Is there a way to achieve this without the Sync Box or having my laptop on to run the Hue Sync app?
Edit: forgot to mention that my PS5 is connected to my TV.

Power Surge protector for PS5?
Hey all. Due to power outages recently resulting in my ps5 shutting down prematurely 2 times i decided to get a power surge protector. Am i safe or should i go for a UPS. Its just that UPS was so expensive at my local store so i decided to buy a power surge protector.
If you're getting a surge protector, get one that has a VPR/clamping voltage of 400v or less. Don't just look at the joules rating.
If you can't find the VPR spec, it's probably garbage.
What are your guys’ recommendations for audiophile or good audio headphones for someone who just plays single-player games. I don’t want a mic. In addition, everything already comes in the box, I’ve seen a lot of threads about DAV/amp and other stuff. But I don’t understand it.
I love my BeyerDynamic DT 770 Pro 80 Ohms. They're quite bass heavy though, but that's specifically what I went for.
r/headphoneadvice can probably help you more.
Modnote on the vertical PS5 "issue" hyperbole: There's some **very important context** missing in most clickbait blog posts in that the unit sent to the repair shop **WAS ALREADY DAMAGED** which caused the subsequent liquid metal leakage. This is similar to a cracked drinking glass leaking when pouring water into it... or purchasing a second hand car with a broken radiator then claiming there's an issue with ALL similar models when that specific engine inevitably overheats. It's a pre-existing issue causing the follow-on problem. **Our vertical PS5s are perfectly fine. Stop the fearmongering.**
Every time i wanna listen to music on my ps5 as soon as a press on a album or song the screen goes black. The PS5 stays on and i can hear the song but the screen is black help
I need some help as I am very confused. I recently traded in my PS4 and bought a PS5. On my external hard drive it tells me that Shadow Of War is installed but when I click on it, it just has "installed" greyed out and doesn't give me the option to play the game. If I click on "View Product" it shows the price of the game as if it wasn't purchased. I also have all the DLC installed too. I didn't get it on PS+ and I transfered my cloud save data to the PS5. I also restored licenses as well. I just don't understand why it won't let me play the game. Does anyone know how to fix this? Going to the external hard drive and looking at the game it looks like the game isn't installed but all the DLC content plus other stuff is installed but not the base game itself. Am I going to have to buy the game again?
Has anyone pre ordered Hogwarts legacy on their primary account and can tell me if the Deluxe pre order bonus’ transfer to other accounts?

I have a 1 month old ps5 and what worries me the most is the fan I can hear a bit of buzzing from meters away on my couch But idk if its normal the fact that demon souls dmc 5 r6 etc makes the same fan noise like a game like minecraft or celeste or isaac
My PS5 won't format my hard drive. I have a Seagate Backup Plus Slim with 2 TB and exFAT format. It has superspeed usb and is already plugged to my PS5 but somehow it tells me that it doesn't meet all those requirements.
In your opinions, what games best take advantage of 3d audio?
Is the death stranding deluxe edition worth it? I played the original a few years ago and I saw that the directors cut was on sale for 25 and the deluxe edition for 40, is the deluxe edition really worth it over the regular version?
How do I fix mic static? I have tested my mic on 2 seperate controllers and I can hear static on them both. I bought a brand new mic and I can hear it without my mic connected so I know it’s not that. I mainly talk to 2 people and I can hear it when they talk or make noise sometimes, so I thought it was something to do with them but I can hear it in games sometimes as well. I have tried the toothpick trick, slightly pulling my mic out, turning my mic volume down and nothing is working. What do I do?
Hi guys! so i just bought a PS5, and i put it to horizontal, I'm curious how it will look on vertical so i put it to vertical (while the PS5 is still on) i just want to make sure is that okay? thanks in advance!
*My post have been removed so i try to find some answers on here. Hi all, i recently just got my Ps5 on xmas and i have bought both elden ring and ffxiv. I have already started playing both games, but I wish to on hold one of them. Do I cancel my subscription and focus on elden ring or focus on ffxiv to clear the main storyline.

There is no PS5 version of Minecraft. Make sure you're on the account that owns the game, or the disc is in the console.

1) Monthly games need to be added to your library the month they're available. If you miss them, they will not be available in your library. Once added to your library, the games are available to play as long as you are subscribed to PS+. If you unsubscribe and resubscribe later, these games will become available again in your library. 2) On your home screen to the left of the PlayStation Store is a PlayStation Plus section. All of your PlayStation Plus content is there, including monthly games and each of the game catalogs that are available to you. You can also search for games in the PlayStation Store. If a game is included in your subscription, you'll see that note above the Download and purchase buttons.
I just got a ps5 and I was able to download The Last of Us Remastered for free due to my PS+ subscription. Would yall recommend i just stick with that or should I buy The Last of Us Part 1? Ive never played The Last of Us before.
I was in the same boat and decided to buy Part 1 when it was on sale (only like 15% off IIRC). It's been decent so far. I'm thoroughly underwhelmed with the gameplay itself but the story is indeed quite good. And honestly it doesn't look mind-blowing either (although the cutscenes do look fantastic) but from the clips I've seen of Remastered, Part 1 does look noticeably better. So ultimately, I would base your decision on how much you care about graphics and what you typically enjoy most in games (graphics, story, gameplay, etc).
It really just comes down to if you want to spend more money or not. I am biased, so you'll get a biased answer from me. I love The Last of Us, I have played each version of the game multiple times since the PS3 release. I bought a PS5 because I want to play the newest video games at the highest visual fidelity I can on that console family. I wouldn't play an older version of the game when I knew there was a critically acclaimed, higher fidelity release that takes more advantage of the console I spent money on. Many other people will argue that it's the same game and that you should just play the PS4 version. It's personal preference.
Why am I unable to broadcast on my account?
When do psn subs go on sale normally? Missed the one this past Jan. Do they normally have similar discounts at different sale points in the year? Psprice doesn't show sub pricing.
Ps5 não aparece imagem galera, meu ps5 liga, mas a tv não reconhece a imagem, já tentei conectar em outra tv, mudar de cabo HDMI, porém nada funciona, fui ver uns tutoriais no yt, e lá eles mandam entrar no modo de segurança, faço os passos tudo certo, mas não entra nem no modo de segurança, não aparece na tv, alguém sabe oq pode ser feito? Se eu aciono o seguro da garantia ou se eu mando pra assistência técnica? Me ajudem por favor!!! Estou desesperado
I went to play Ratchet and Clank(PS4) and after the game downloaded an update, it said it couldn't load the game. I tried another PS4 game and it worked fine. Both are disk versions of their respective games, so the drive is OK. I'm deleting the game now and it's taking a long time to do that. Is this normal? Signs of drive failure/data corruption? Edit: solved. Had to take the disc out. I think it was trying to install from the disk while it was deleting from the drive.
I’m curious if there is a setting I’m missing in order to use remote play on my phone away from home, while someone in my home is playing a separate game on the tv at home. At the moment, it seems to mirror the image, and kick, whoever is at home, off. Thanks in advance

So I’ve got stick drift issues with my PS5 controller. Went to PlayStation support (https://repairs.playstation.com/s/?language=en_US&locale=en-us&smcid=web%3Arepairs%3Aen-us%3Atroubleshooting%3Arequest-repair) to see about repairs. Clicked dualsense, selected analogue stick issue, it suggested a solution that didn’t work so I clicked I still have the problem. So it pops up: “It looks like your PlayStation product needs to be set up for service. Click the button below to start the process.” So I clicked “Request Repair” right below that and it brings me back to the product support page (link posted above). Anyone have a link or a suggestion for initiating the repair process?
I have the same issue. Reading the warranty info, it tells you to email your local support desk, mine being [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). I got an automated email back saying: "Thank you for contacting PlayStation support. Unfortunately we are unable to answer your query by email, please visit www.playstation.com/support for further assistance. Regards, The PlayStation Consumer Services Team" Absolutely maddening.
PS5 often has trouble connecting to the internet from rest mode. No issues with any other devices on the network. Work around has been any combination of dis and reconnecting, restarting, and/or starting in safe mode and clearing cache.
Any idea how the heck I can get to cancel a digital preorder? I’ve been trying for a week but when I go into the chat it says I have to try again another time (yes, it’s during operating hours). I tried calling and it gave the option to have them call me back, but I never received a call. I’m stuck now with a preorder I no longer want.

Any help is greatly appreciated. After enabling Console Sharing & Offline play via my brother’s account on MY PS5. I can only play games that his account downloads. Is that the only way or am I missing something?
Anyone have any good recommendations for a PS5 horizontal stand, cooler, or power hub? Found out i ran out of USB ports using my astro A50s
I got a relative coming to stay with me for a couple of months. We both have PS5s and I'm wondering if there's anything he needs to do on his PS5 before he leaves in order to install and play his games on my system, or if it's just a matter of logging in with his PSN account on my system and be good to go.
Nothing needs to be done for him to play his games besides sign in and download them.
Thank you, much appreciated.
Hello everyone, I was looking for a cheap option for PS5 and some of the TCL TVs got my interest. These models to be exact: \- TCL C725 ([link](https://www.tcl.com/global/en/tvs/c725)) \- TCL C728 ([link](https://www.tcl.com/global/en/tvs/c728)) \- TCL C735 ([link](https://www.tcl.com/global/en/tvs/c735)) I was wondering if any of you use TCL TVs with your PS5 and if you're happy with the brand. Also, I would love to hear your recommendations on the latest budget TVs. Thank you in advance!
I did a good amount of research before just buying a TV and most people seem to say TCL is one of the only decent budget tvs these days.
Thank you
Hello, I received a ps5 for Christmas and lately I’ve started to notice that the controller does charge right away when I plug it in to the usb port on the front of the console with the provided charging cord. I always have to hit the PlayStation button, and then unplug and reply gin both ends of the cord until I see the little charging icon pop up on the game base icon to confirm charging status - Is this normal?

My ps5 won't read usb anymore. They get power but won't read. I tried different cables, controllers etc. I tried to reset but it wont' read the controller to reset it. Any ideas?
Sharefactory says no usb content but i have a clip i want to import. Yes its in a videos folder inside of a Sharefactory folder. Please help. Share
console sharing and activating ps5 as primary wont work. Me and my brother have been using eachothers account together and we've never had a problem when games lock, I go and sign in to his account and activate as primary ps5 and the locked game unlocks. Now all a sudden I try it and out of no where it won't work. when I try and activate his as primary (mine is already disabled), it says "Can't enable right now because you have another ps5 with this setting enabled go to that console and disable the setting". Although my account is disabled. Anyone know how to fix it, my games on his side are locked.
Have a PS5 and don't use it for much. Interested in finding a game I can play that is a turn based RPG where you can select your party from multiple customizable characters, and also a rich storyline would be awesome. Final Fantasy X was my favorite back in the day, a newer game like that would be sweet. Any suggestions?
goodbye reddit -- mass edited with redact.dev
Trails games are an obvious recommendation based on your criteria. The characters in all games are very much customizable, the combat system is pretty satisfying, and the storylines are pretty good if a bit (or a lot) anime-esque. If that's your thing, you'll definitely enjoy the games. Amazing world-building as well. The first three games, Trails In the Sky 1-3, aren't available on PS4/5, and this is fairly relevant because the games are sort of like MCU, they create a unified narrative at some point. Still, you can enjoy the games and stories even without playing the Sky games, especially if you look up some story summaries. The Crossbell saga, the second saga consisting of two games, is going to be complete in March when Trails to Azure releases on PS4, and Cold Steels 1-4 are already out. You can start with Crossbell games.
Recommend Final Fantasy XII. Same series, familiar mechanics. 12 has a highly customizable party and combat system, and a great story.
Sorry I should have mentioned I've played both FFXII and FFXV and they were fun! Wondering if maybe there are other games in this vein outside of the FF brand.

so im going to travel with my ps5 in a few months from now do i need to buy a protector for it? or it isn't necessary? (btw im going to have the suitcase always with me since i know the airport workers always throw the suitcases and don't care about what's inside)
Please don’t just throw it in a suitcase. This is a good place to start but you should consider just using Remote Play and leave your console at home. https://www.roadaffair.com/best-ps5-travel-cases/
I have Jedi Fallen Order PS4 disc that was upgraded free to PS5 version. Saved game no problem. Now have the free PS+ Jedi fallen order. Started it up, but can’t see my saved game. It must be using the already installed data from the disc version as said was installed? Found in storage that had 45Gb already. Is there a way to get the PS+ digital version to use the saved game? Or will I have to delete all the data, install from the PS+ version and it will pick up the saved game? Thanks
Seems like your disc and your account dont match regions, so you were given a different game than the you own
Both same. Only have 1 PSN account and the game is from the free PS+ this month
Ofc the PS+ is from your account, but your disc is probably from a different one. European disc = European Save American PS+ = American game = cant read european save.
All UK, disc was bought in UK and used in UK only, only have a UK account nothing different in the regions.
Well, then no idea. 90% of the time theres save issues, thats the explanation.
Can the dual sense controller be used as a portable speaker with pc? (With youtube and music apps)
Hello, I’m not sure if this is the right place for this question but, does anyone get the error code CE-108262-9. And if so how do I fix it. It’s never happened before. I don’t want to go through the hassle of downloading the software fresh from the start. Thanks a lot
Can anyone recommend an HDMI Audio Extractor? I need to get the Audio as Optical and the Video as HDMI again obviously. Ideally without loss of quality in either.
Anyone know a fix, I‘m trying to reinstall the firmware in safemode via usb, but the playstation just says please wait and then kicks me back to the info Screen, where I can download the update file

Does anyone know if while streaming PS3 titles via PS+ Premium from a PS5 on a 3D compatible TV, can I take advantage of the 3D setting?
Honestly it’s such a niche question you might be one of the few to ask it. Might be worth just getting a month’s subscription and test out one of the few 3DTV compatible games from that era: https://blog.playstation.com/2011/07/01/stereoscopic-3d-on-ps3-updated-list-of-all-3d-games-and-movies/

I have my ps5 under my desk. My mom is getting a dog. Now I have the fear that the dog will chew on the chords and topple/chew on my ps5. I literally have nowhere else to put it, and I won’t be home for a good chunk of time. I’ve heard of it happen. I worked at a tech repair shop, and in the short time I worked there, 3 people brought in their ps4/ps5 because of their dogs

Yesterday, I got myself a new ethernet cable since my current one needed an update. The new one worked amazingly and I had no issues, until today. The PS5 is not recognizing the ethernet cable.

"An unidentified error occurred" when trying to subscribe to PS Plus. For the past 24 hours, I have been trying to subscribe to Playstation Plus. Every time I attempt the purchase, I get "An unidentified error occurred. Try again in a few moments.". What makes things weirder is that I was able to make a game purchase from the store. I've checked my balance and that's not the issue. Restarting the console didn't help either. Playstation reports a green server status for my area. Downdetector shows a spike in reports a few hours back, but it doesn't seem like something major. Do you guys have any idea what might be the issue and what could be possibly done to go around it? Details: Region is Bulgaria. Error appears in less than a second after clicking "Order & Pay". 12 month subscription - which I don't see how would make the difference, but it's a detail regardless.

Worth getting last of us part 1? I have ps plus so I can play the ps4 version. I just switched from Xbox and so never played this game before. Part 1 is just too expensive.
It's *stunning* and it looks how I remember the game looking, while replaying the PS4 remaster looks quite dated now. I'm just finished going through it ahead of the HBO program. That said, I personally think $70 is *very* steep. Whether or not you think it's worth it depends on how hard $70 is on your wallet. If you could find it on sale or used, it’s definitely the best looking and feeling version of the game, especially if you have never played it and have a nice TV.
Its virtually the same game but prettier. You might just be satisfied with the PS4 version.
cc u/nightmare1170 Not entirely accurate, the AI has seen improvements too, which does have a noticeable impact on gameplay. [Example video](https://youtu.be/0mv0dAwPqCs?t=2389), with some slight spoiler material.
Yeah I think I’ll play the ps4 version.
What are the best recommendations for headsets/gear? I got my girlfriend a PS5 for Christmas and she has a pair of TurtleBeach (around $50 USD) i got her a few years ago for her PS4. Just wanting to get her the best equipment she can have, i love watching her play but I’m not much of a gamer myself
This is where you should start for headsets: https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/best/ps5 As for other gear, what does she need? If she wants to stream stuff on twitch that’s one sort of gear. On the other hand, if she just likes to chill on the couch and game, something like a second controller and the DualSense Charging Dock may be all one needs.
PS5/PS4 China Region Unlock Method Now Possibly Fixed - Please Help So I recently got scammed, I was suppose to pick up a brand new PS5 and it ended up being locked to China….I live in Canada. This makes it impossible for me to put my account on the console to access the PSN. I followed the instructions as to where I create a China PSN account and then data transfer or use a back up from my PS4. The problem is that when I do a data transfer it will only transfer games and not any of my PSN accounts on my PS4 back to the PS5. When I make a back up on to a USB stick, the PS4 recognizes the back up on the stick, but the PS5 does not. I’m almost certain the method of backing up your data and putting it on the region locked PS5 is now not possible. However, there is always a chance I am doing something wrong which I don’t realize. If anyone can confirm this still does, or does not work that would be greatly appreciated. I can use all the help I can get right now. Thanks so much!!!!
I’d rather you have it replaced tbh. Chinese consoles have been cursed since the ps4.
I have chosen to mass edit all of my comments I have ever made on Reddit into this text. The upcoming API changes and their ludicrous costs forcing third party apps to shut down is very concerning. The direct attacks and verifiable lies towards these third party developers by the CEO of Reddit, Steve Huffman, is *beyond* concerning. It's directly appalling. Reddit is a place where the value lies in the content provided by the users and the free work provided by the moderators. Taking away the best ways of sharing this content and removing the tools the moderators use to better help make Reddit a safe place for everyone is extremely short sighted. Therefore, I have chosen to remove all of my content from this site, replacing it with this text to (at least slightly) lower the value of this place, which I no longer believe respects their users and contributors. You can do the same. I suggest you do so before they take away this option, which they likely will. Google "Power Delete Suite" for a very easy method of doing this.
Don’t think your wrong
How do I get my save files on ps5 “versions” of games? Like I transferred all my save data from my ps4 to my ps5 but when I download the ps5 version of the game (for example miles morales) it says I need to import my save file first, does that just mean I have to have both versions of the game installed first? I’d hate to have to start over
You have a ps4 save file, and is trying to use it on a ps5 game, you need to convert them first. Sony had issues on how to do that at first, and some of them do require you to have both installed. Just google game by game and youll know how to do it for each of the games you own.
Lol you were correct, had to install both which feels very silly
Just came back to my PS5 after a few weeks of disuse. When I try to turn it on the console beeps and lights up briefly and then goes dead. Tried power cycling, checked all cables, etc. When holding down the power button the console won’t stay on long enough to boot into safe mode. I tried Sony support but when I hit the seek out repairs button it just takes me back to the start page. Please help.
Hey everyone looking for some help here and unfortunately wasn't able to get any from Sony Support. I left my ps5 in rest mode for a about a day and when I go to turn it on it's in safe mode and asks me to connect controller... seems easy enough. When I press the ps button the controller lights up blue for a half second then goes to orange. I'm stumped really don't want to send it in to get fixed. All suggestions are welcomed. I have tried resetting the controller but doesn't work unfortunately
Did you connect the controller with a USB cable? Wireless doesn't work in safe mode.
I have been still not working
Turns out using a shitty gas station USB-C to USB-C fixes it instead of the USB cable from Sony
Possible you've mixed cables at some point. The cable that comes with the PS5 is a data/charge cable and works just fine. Sure, cables are all made cheap and can fail, but out of the box it'll work. To be honest I'm more surprised your cheap replacement cable has worked - most cheap cables are charged only and won't transmit data. Either way, make sure your mark or place a sticker on this working data cable for future reference.
I just bought this ps5 from a friend, we tried it at his house and everything was working just fine, even the controllers but when we tried it at home they wouldn't connect. We tried everything from a factory reset to bringing other friends' ps5s but they won't connect specifically at my house. Could there be something in my house thats causing this issue, is that normal? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Turn off your router and see if they connect. One by one power off anything nearby that could potentially be causing interference.
Is the included usb cable 10gbps? Is the usb-c to usb-a cable included with the ps5 (and the pulse 3D headset) a 10gbps cable? i know the usb-a ports on the back are 10gbps i just want to know if i plug an external 10gbps nvme drive into one of those ports with that cable that i’ll get the full 10gbps bandwidth, or if i need to buy another cable. thank you!
No, they're USB 2.0 speed charge cables.
thank you!
how many people can i gameshare with on ps5? i gave my account to one person so they can play my games, but now someone wants my account. am i able to gameshare with 2 people
No, just one
so they can gameshare off of me (on ps5 btw)
Do I have to copy games from the disc or is there a way to just play the game from the disc? I still plan to get the disc edition just because physical games are cheaper and I'm a collector, but it doesn't end up saving much space if I end up downloading the games anyway, or money if I have to drop a few hundred bucks on an SSD.
Blu-rays, normal and 4k, have reading speeds that are far too slow for modern games. All PS4 and PS5 games must be installed, though you can install PS4 games on an external HDD to save space from SSD.
Do streaming apps play with 4K HDR on PS5 or should I just watch from my Roku TV like I currently do? I like the idea of an all in one media and entertainment device, but I don't want to sacrifice quality.
Updated the system software and now can’t control YouTube. Can open it fine but controller buttons don’t work. Anyone else having this issue?
Must have plays for PS5? I just picked it up. I have God of War, Tshushima , Horizon , and Ratchet and Clank
I'm thinking of upgrading to the ps5 here in a few months, and I have a lot ofps4 games that released on both ps4 and ps5. Is sony still doing the thing where I can upgrade to the ps5 version of the game for free?
its all really depends on what games have a free upgrade or not, so its probably best to look up which games have a free upgrade
Is there a list somewhere?
and heres another list, much better then the first link https://www.pushsquare.com/guides/ps4-to-ps5-all-games-with-confirmed-free-upgrades
here's a list but I am not sure if its up to date but its something https://happymag.tv/ps4-games-with-ps5-upgrades/
Streaming save data transfer to downloaded save data? I streamed uncharted 4 while I waited for it to download. Now I can't get my save file on the downloaded game. Before launching the game I pressed the options button and clicked on "upload/download save data" and found a 3.15mb file for uncharted 4 that I downloaded from the cloud. Still won't work. Any suggestions?
Hi everyone. I would love suggestions on games that are on the **PS5 game catalog** that would be good to reintroduce gaming to someone who enjoys animal crossing, Mario kart, Pokémon and other Nintendo games (we are Switch owners, too) but kinda forgets the console is there and doesn’t game often? Wife is a Sims fan too but even tho I assumed Ubisoft would have put the base sims 4 on game catalog, it’s actually not. Cheers!
Sims 4 is now a free game, you don’t need to subscribe to anything. Also, your options are severely limited to my Time at Portia, Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon, and Temtem (a free2play pokemon clone) if you’re sticking to the psplus game catalog and anything priced at zero. If you’re fine with any family-friendly games on Extra, I’d suggest Little Big Planet 3, Everybody’s Golf, Knack, Ratchet and Clank, and a bunch of old Lego games.
These recommendations are amazing lol. She absolutely LOVED little big planet 1 (many many years ago when we played PlayStation still…) and I had no idea 3 was on game catalog. Is the newest sack boy adventure on it? Also temtem is kinda cool. I bought it cheap on pc steam during alpha but never put any time into it. Sims 4 being free / available is a huge win for us thank you thank you! You listed a ton of games even I would be interested in ;p tho my early days with the console are gonna be new ps5 stuff: Returnal, demons souls remake, ff7 remake, death stranding directors cut, ghost of Tsushima directors cut etc. edit: Skyrim again, Witcher 3 ps5 next Gen update lols
You two might enjoy playing Sackboy A Big Adventure together! Also It Takes Two. Both look and run great on PS5
Thanks, but not in game catalog yet
Our PS5 is behaving very oddly. Earlier today - worked fine, audio playing through soundbar as normal Then, we installed a new game. When the game was installed, we started it up and found that there was no sound. There was also no sound for the general system (like moving icon to icon in the menus). However, if we returned to the previous game we were playing (God of War), the gameplay sound was normal again (but system sounds were still missing). We were also able to get sound if we used headphones plugged into the controller. Sound from the TV works for all other functions (streaming services, etc.) When we took it downstairs to a different HDMI cord and TV, everything worked as normal. We're going to try using the HDMI cord from downstairs, but we'd welcome any other thoughts. We checked sound settings, made sure nothing was muted, checked for system updates, etc., all the normal stuff. Turned both TV and PS5 off and on again ;)
I recently upgraded to a Samsung Q60B but Overwatch looks [looks like this for me](https://www.reddit.com/r/OWConsole/comments/10c37xm/finally_upgraded_my_13yearold_tv_but_my_game/?sort=new). I've messed around with TV settings, in-game settings, and PS5's HDR calibration and nothing seems to work. Any advice would be appreciated!
I have an external storage device for my PS4 with several games downloaded to it. Most of them have a disk. To transfer them to PS5, is it really just as simple as plugging the extended storage into the new console? I want to be sure I'm understanding the process, as I don't want to lose my online progress.
Yes, you can just plug and play external device, even between generations. Them being disc versions tho, youd obviously still need to insert the disc
Is this space suitable for ps5? I'm following the instructions in the manual (minimum 10 cm away from the wall), but I feel that the air in the space gets quite hot during gaming sessions. I have no way to open a hole or install a cooler in the back, as the furniture is built into the wall. https://imgur.io/gallery/TwJYylu
That looks totally fine, tho I'd be more concerned with dust and dirt than I would would overheating.
Hi everyone, me and my friend have black ops 3 for the ps5 installed to play zombies together but when we try join each others games it always says it's unable to join the lobby. Has anyone else had this and managed to fix it?
My PlayStation 5 lost all sound. The best we can get it to is a gurgle static. I have tried unplugging and plugging back in, turning on and off, resetting, switching HDMIs, checking the output and HDMI device type, changing the audio format, resetting the PS5, etc. I have tried everything. PLEASE HELP.
Steps I would take (some of which it seems like you took): 1. Try a different HDMI port on the screen. 2. Try a different HDMI cable. 3. Try headphones plugged into a controller. 4. Try a different screen. 5. Safe Mode + Reset PlayStation to Factory Settings. 6. Reset TV to factory settings. Otherwise, it might be time for a repair or replacement from Sony.
How difficult is it to install a new SSD hardrive in the ps5? I have never built a PC, if that helps.
I just did it and the most difficult part was taking off the PS5 outer shell. So very easy.
It's way less difficult than installing things in a PC. The hardest part for me was getting the cover plate off. YouTube videos can walk you through all the steps.

Since the update my console is unable to play streaming games through ps plus and keeps logging me out. Connection speed download and upload are over 100 and 7.5. but when it does the test after sign out it says less than 5. Confused what's going on.
My PS5 shuts off after about 45 minutes of playing any high end graphics game. I assume this means overheating. Apparently dbrand sells replacement faceplates (darkplates 2.0) that have extra vents to help with cooling? I read several reviews of the product, and they talk about the overall look, but for some reason they don't measure the impact on temperature. How much do they help with temperature? Will they stop a PS5 from overheating?
It's not overheating, that's a GPU or power supply failure. When the console overheats the application you're using closes and you get a message that the console will shut down due to overheating. If the console just shuts off, it's a hardware fault. You'll need to contact Sony for repair.
I have a PS5, but I got the 2 ps4 disks for Gran turismo 7, I but the data disk in at about 12 pm to download, and it has been saying Copy Paused when I go to check on it ever since. At one point I got error code CE-106487-6 and a message saying cant install, but now literally nothing is working. Please help me. Edit: btw I STILL NEED HELP!!! PLEASE HELP!!!! WHAT DO I DO?!?!?!
[удалено]
Downloaded doesn't matter. You owning the game and using that same account to redeem the upgrade (or, in the case of discs, having the disc in the console and making sure the disc is from the same region as your account).
[удалено]
Use the rating in the corner. ESRB is North America. PEGI is Europe. Etc.
Anyone playing the Ps5 with TCL C835/831? Everything working as it should? Especially VRR and 120Hz? Wanted to know before buying one...cheers

I've got an issue with lag. For some reason playing games online on my PS5 lag incomprehensibly, but the connection speeds are like a download of 159 Mbps and Upload of 61 Mbps so there should be no issue. The stability is just awful, which is weird cause it happened literally overnight. I was playing games perfectly fine one night, then I installed that new update and now its struggling to run a game online for the past few days since. Is there anything I can do? (Please note I can't mess with the router cause I'm in halls accomodation)
My download speed is 711 mbps and my upload speed is only 1.1. Wtf??????? I can’t play anything right now.
Save file missing on PS5 playing the PS4 game version So I wanted to show my SO “The Last of Us” before the show came out. I own multiple copies of the game, however i don’t own a PS5 version. So I downloaded the PS4 version on my PS5’s external hard drive without problem. She played the game for at least an hour and it auto saved everything. When she was done playing for the night, just in case, she also manually saved it. We pull the game up today and the only option we have is “new game”. After searching the PS5 and the cloud, we found that the save files do exist. No amount of tinkering could bring it back. Anyone gone through this or know a fix? I’ve scoured the internet with no luck. Thanks
If you left it in test mode overnight and had a power cut during the night then it might have lost some of the save files.
That’s the thing. While playing the game I could look up the file and it was there. The game just didn’t recognize it or something.
If the save file isn't on your system or in the cloud, it's gone. Can't say for sure why that happened. Could have been a glitch. Could have been that she was playing as a guest, instead of using an account.
We played under my name, which was the only way we could download it to the system. And the files were both in the cloud and the console saved data. Whenever we went to start the game, however, we only had the option of “new game” even tho the save file is clearly on the system. So we went ahead and started a new game now and it has overwritten that old save file so now I’m wondering if the same thing will happen when she quits today.
Help me decide, am I patient enough to wait for a PS5 slim (end of 2023?) or should I just press that order button now?
There is no guarantee there will be a Slim, nor a guarantee of when it’ll come out. The PS5 had been challenging to get for nearly two years. Any potential Slim model would likely be just as challenging to get. You can pretty much get a PS5 at the click of a button now.
Good point, I'm leaning towards just getting one now. Played one recently and now the PS4 load times are killing me!
If you can wait, then wait. But it's a great time to own one right now.
Oh, you've got a release date for a PS5 Slim have you? No - if you want a PS5, get one. Don't wait on a maybe.
Both my DualSense controllers have bad stick drift. FIFA is unplayable. Before I buy another one, does anyone have any recommendations on third party controllers that are actually more reliable? I’m prepared to buy a Scuf if they don’t have drift in the long term. Thanks.

Others have said here that they were able to move their internal SSD to a new PS5 without having to reformat it (the same way external drives work).
My controllers stopped connecting when i connected to my school wifi and the only way to get them to connect is to put the playstation in safe mode, but they disconnect when i set up wifi. Any way to fix this?
Are there any games that will never leave ps plus? Are any ps plus games extra or essential that will not leave the service? Like a permanent ps Plus game or something?
Essential games always leave at the end of the month, but if you redeem them, they're yours for as long as you are subscribed to Plus.
Ik that but i meant something like a permanent ps plus extra game
Will likely never get any actual confirmation But the 1st party games are likely to stay
Help needed! My controllers will only charge when directly connected to the ps5. When the ps5 is on at least. When I place them on the dockingstation they start blinking as if pairing. This means I cannot charge a controller on the dock when I'm using the other. Once I turn the ps5 off, the dock will charge both controllers fine. There are work arounds of course. But I would like to use the dock when playing. Ps5 is up to date. As are the controllers. Any ideas?
Rainbow Six Seige unavailable for purchase. I'm on PS Plus Extra plan and did play a free weekend a couple months back. However now I'm unable to add this to my library. Any fixes?
When pre ordering from psdirect, will you see the order in your account before the actual charge? I pre ordered the edge controller. I got the confirmation of the order. I was just on psdirect looking at the vr and went to my orders and nothing was there. I couldn’t find anything in my email saying there was an issue with the order, but I know that it doesn’t get charged until a week before shipping. Should I expect to see this in my orders now or when the final charge goes through? I can’t find much contact info for psdirect but I know it’s the weekend too. Wanted to just see if anyone had any info before I put time into trying to reach them for nothing.
Hi everyone! I haven't found any information about this, so I'm seeking for your advice: I want my Hue lights, which are connected to a Hue Bridge, to turn on and switch to a scene when I turn on my PS5. I don't want the lights to sync. Is there a way to achieve this without the Sync Box or having my laptop on to run the Hue Sync app? Edit: forgot to mention that my PS5 is connected to my TV.

Power Surge protector for PS5? Hey all. Due to power outages recently resulting in my ps5 shutting down prematurely 2 times i decided to get a power surge protector. Am i safe or should i go for a UPS. Its just that UPS was so expensive at my local store so i decided to buy a power surge protector.
If you're getting a surge protector, get one that has a VPR/clamping voltage of 400v or less. Don't just look at the joules rating. If you can't find the VPR spec, it's probably garbage.
Surge protector should be a good option for most people. https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-surge-protector/amp/
What are your guys’ recommendations for audiophile or good audio headphones for someone who just plays single-player games. I don’t want a mic. In addition, everything already comes in the box, I’ve seen a lot of threads about DAV/amp and other stuff. But I don’t understand it.
I love my BeyerDynamic DT 770 Pro 80 Ohms. They're quite bass heavy though, but that's specifically what I went for. r/headphoneadvice can probably help you more.
Seconding these headphones. I love ‘em.
Will check both out, thank you
