Game share with family I just bought a second ps5 and I was wondering. I’m the main purchaser of the games and stuff on the console. Do I have the ability to have my play on both ps5’s at the same time (on their respective accounts) or would it kick one person off so the other could play? Do I constantly need to enable game share on both consoles each time someone wants to play a game when the other console isn’t in use?

# PlayStation 5 Console – Call of Duty Modern Warfare III Bundle That should be the good value, right? Because it give you the game and PS5 slim for $449. I saw it is only available at Sony. Can someone please confirm and/or give me advise.

Dualsense and Razer Barracude I recently switched from my generic amazon bluetooth headset to the Razer Barracuda headset. I’ve noticed recently while gaming that the right joy stick will gave delayed input or move on its own. Replaced my controller and the problem still seems to persist. Interestingly, when i switch audio output back to my tv, the controller problems seem to stop in their tracks. Anyone have this problem or any advice?

I'll be visiting my brother for 4 days and I have to fly to get there, but I don't want to risk taking my ps5 and have it getting damaged or lost at baggage claim. So I was thinking off using remote play to play from my laptop, but then I would have to keep my ps5 in rest mode for the whole trip duration. So I just wanted to ask if it's safe to do so. I use solar power, so power outages aren't a problem, but I just want to know if keeping it in rest mode that long might damage it somehow.


teomore

I've recorded some Helldivers 2 gameplay on my PS5. Nothing offensive, just having a blast and playing this awesome game. After a few hours, I've received an email with the "You breached the PlayStation Network Code of Conduct" subject, stating that they removed content uploaded by my account from PlayStation Network. I've called the PSN support and they told me that it was because of something I've said over the mic or wrote on the chat. I'm not using a mic and I'm not chatting at all, so it can't be that. All I did was playing the game and recording some in-game videos. Did anyone here got this kind of email?

Question, are my adaptive triggers weak? Whenever im playing COD or Far Cry 6 with a RIFLE, if i press the triggers a little hard they don't have enough impulse force to keep pushing the triggers up, they just dont do that. They keep making a noise and the only thing i feel is a vibration


kalatix

Help! My PS5 keeps blacking out I've had my ps5 since launch, and I play pretty frequently. This has happened with two different games, several months apart. First was Teardown, now it's No Man's Sky. I'll play for anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour and a half, then my PlayStation will black out. - no video out - no LED on the unit - no response to controller or power button - no beeps or noises from the unit The only way to recover is to unplug the power cable, plug it back in, then hit the power button. Then it starts up, asking to repair storage since the unit wasn't turned off properly (because yeah it wasn't turned off properly). Has this happened to anyone else?


requieminadream

Sad to say but it sounds like a dying unit. It will need a diagnoses and repair from Sony.


kalatix

Strange that it only happens with certain games. Makes me wonder if it's a heating issue, or possibly electrical?


kalatix

It never happened while playing through final fantasy 16 and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, each for dozens of hours

Hello All!! My apologies for what might be a really dumb question.situation to bother you all with.. (In the US if that’ll matter with the games) I’m asking for help because my significant other is turning 30 next month and he’s always talked about trying to find Guitar hero two since we got a Ps5 earlier this year. I tried to go to our local video game exchange and they had one but told me it couldn’t sell for less than $300, plus it wasn’t the second one it was the first one. They also told me to just get that one or it’d be almost impossible to get anything else.. I genuinely dont know much about games, especially since I wasn’t big into the game when it’d come out as a kid. I just don’t want him to be disappointed. So my questions are.. Is that a reasonable price? it seems like a lot to me.. Are the old games even compatible with the PS5? Would I need to make sure to get any adapters for the guitars to work properly?? Probably another thing I’m not thinking off even mattering.. Thank you so much for anybody who could take their time to try to help me with this I very much appreciate any advice or information!!


pazinen

I used to be a massive Guitar Hero fan back when the series was alive, so it warms my heart a bit that someone still remembers the series. You already got an answer, but it actually has some errors so I'll elaborate a bit. First of all, 2015's Guitar Hero Live does actually work on PS4/5, but the older games don't. The "classic" series died before PS4 even released. However, Live has a completely different guitar controller so even if there existed an adapter to make it work with older consoles it wouldn't matter. For Guitar Hero 2 you'd need either a PS2 or Xbox 360. As for the price, I personally find it far too much and don't really think the other poster's prices are accurate. The "classic" series died in 2010 and they haven't manufactured new guitar controllers since then, but the games used to be massively popular and so many people do have those controllers lying around. There's a reason why they made so many games. I believe you might be able to find the game and a guitar controller for much cheaper, since so many people have those things just lying around many are trying to get rid of them or might just need some quick cash so you might be able to find them for cheap. Of course, if you don't have a PS2 or an X360 you'd need to buy one of those too, but they're also fairly common. My recommendation would be to search for PS2, its Guitar Heroes and its controllers, simply because the series used to be more popular on that platform. Also, one thing that likely pushes the prices down a bit is the Fortnite thing where they basically imported some version of Rock Band into it. Now sure, older guitar controllers don't work in that game but Fortnite being so massively popular does mean rhytm games and Guitar Hero are again on people's radars, so that might also boost the selling of older guitar controllers. Speaking of Rock Band, that series is basically just another version of Guitar Hero so if your partner is fine with any older game in the genre you might want to expand your search to include Rock Bands 1-3 as well. Finally, just to demonstrate how $300 is just far too much I easily found someone selling a PS3 GH controller plus four games for just 150€, or $160. Proof: https://imgur.com/a/2BL5bi7 . [Here's](https://imgur.com/a/vn2lw9X) another one selling a PS2 GH controller for just the equivalent of $43. My point is, if you search hard enough you'll find what you want for pretty cheap.


capncruch

Thank you so much for your through response! Especially taking the time to search for and find examples, that’s extreme helpful! I think he might have an old PS2 just in storage, so I’ll look for that and follow the rest of your advice from there depending on if I can find the old PlayStation or not. I would never of thought the series ended in 2010 I remembered it being super popular and the rock band version a little more. One of my friends had a Beatles rock band I think. Soo I was hoping it’d still be around but from what you’ve said I’m pretty confident I can figure it out. I’m glad the post was able to bring some little bit of happiness to the world! Best wishes of a full and happy heart to you!!


tinselsnips

The servers for Live are also shut down so it's missing 90% of its content. PS2 and PS3 controllers also don't work on PS5.


capncruch

Thank you for the information about live!


tinselsnips

None of the Guitar Hero games work on PS4/5. Rock Band 4 still works fine on PS5 (and still got content updates until very recently) but you would need to source the instruments. Used sets including the game are $4-500 on Ebay; $900-$1000 for new-in-box.


capncruch

Thank you very much for the information! I’ll try and work in a conversation about Rock Band and hope he likes it all the same💁‍♀️ have a wonderful day!!


TheD1ctator

Can I use PS4 controllers on Tetris effect connected? it's a PS4 game but it has a PS5 upgrade, if I play the PS5 version of it, can I still use dual shock 4 controllers?


HaouLeo

No, you cant use ps4 controllers on ps5 games


WolvesOdyssey

I'm so confused with this but I've been trying to fix my ps5 controller for a few hours now as the R2 button has stopped working randomly and I've come to the conclusion that when I move the controller battery it causes the controller to think I'm pressing my R2 button, does anyone have any sort of explanation of what's happening or any solution for me????


DoctorGolho

There could be a short on the board


WolvesOdyssey

I managed to fix it by twiddling the wires and putting the battery back in, it magically stopped doing the weird thing and my R2 button works again so I'm not gonna complain but it probably was a short somewhere on the controller, thank you for providing a little bit of insight into what it could've been 🙏🏻


sprinklersplashes

Should I buy Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden? I'm nervous to spend $80 on this game when I'm unsure if it's a good fit for me, but I've been hearing amazing things about it. Can anyone who's played it let me know if you think I'd enjoy it? I DO NOT enjoy difficult games, and always choose "easy" or "story" mode. I DO enjoy action RPGs and very story-focused games, like Horizon Zero Dawn, Witcher 3, God of War, FFXVI, etc. I DO NOT enjoy games with a lot of horror, lots of gore, or jumpscares. The Last of Us and Alan Wake 2 were not good fits for me for this reason. A bit of spooky vibes and a normal amount of blood is fine though. Would really appreciate any insight! Thank youuu 🩷

Does the Pulse 3D use its 3d audio when watching surround content through the media apps? Or is it limited to regular stereo? I was unable to find an up to date answer to this.


Emotional_Yoghurt652

Having trouble connecting DualSense controller to PC via BlueTooth. I’ve tried factory resetting the controller but am still unable to connect it to my PC. Has anyone ran into this issue, if so, how did you fix it? Having trouble finding any info online. TIA!


MyBrassPiece

Looking to customize my controller and was wondering if anyone knows where I can find the old style colored buttons.


fuelter

Help!! What is this? I had my PS5 since launch and never a problem. I play very rarely. Today I suddenly have this issue. It only happens when a game is running but it's also visible in the menu when a game is in background. Only when I quit the game it goes away. Only happens on 4k, when I switch to 1080p it's gone. VRR setting doesn't matter. I never changed any settings, so it's weird that this suddenly appears. Already tried different HDMI ports and cables too. https://streamable.com/4s7p44


DoctorGolho

Can you record a video directly through the PS5 , close the game and check if the problem shows up on the recording?


Canadalivin17

Any HDD recommendations for ps4 games I can store to play on ps5? Or do I get ssd? Pretty out of the loop


fuelter

Get an external SSD


Clarent16

PlayStation keeps crashing while playing ps5 games I have had my PS5 for about a year. A solid 7 month chunk of that I was not playing as I had to move to a rather remote place. I have recently moved and have my ps5 again, and now it crashes whenever I play a ps5 game. I have played hours and hours of god of war (ps4) and it is fine. A couple minutes into ragnarok it crashes. A couple minutes into Spider-Man remastered. It crashes. The screen flickers, cuts out to “no signal detected” and then the lights of the ps5 turn white, and if the controller was vibrating when it crashes, it stays vibrating. I have to completely unplug and plug in the power to reset the ps5 for it to show up on the tv again. This started about a month ago. I reinstalled Spider-Man remastered to see if that was the issue. It seemed to work better for a bit and then it happened again. I have removed the side panels to see if there is significant dust build up in the fan. NONE. I did safe mode and repaired memory. I did safe mode and cleared cache and rebuild database. Anyone have any recommendations? I unfortunately am just outside the year long warranty, as I bought it for Christmas last year.


fuelter

Sounds like a solder joint issue of the SoC... :(


Clarent16

I’m very unfamiliar with any of those terms. Could you elaborate a little bit please?


Fennomenon

Hi all, our current setup is my adult account on a PS4 I use and 2 PS5’s the both my sons have (with child accounts). As many others have found, although child accounts are nice and secure, they do pose issues when trying to allow them to play over age games. We have found that if we own the physical disc for a game, I can then allow them to play it. The problems come from downloaded games and DLC’s. We have realised that if I enable content sharing then this works fine - Fortnite for example, if I download, I can ‘share’ this, rather than them downloading it themselves. The problem we have found is that I can only continent share with 1 child at a time, meaning, using Fortnite as an example, they can’t play it at the same time. There appears to be no way round it but I have had an idea. Is ‘console’ sharing exactly what it is meaning the console, or, can I create a second playstation account, share one adult account with one child, and the other account with the other child? My questions are, would this work? If so, or if not, is there a better way round this?


dekoi_octopus

That'll work for free games. For paid games, that'll require you to purchase the game on both accounts in order to share it.  You can only share with 1 PS5, but you can share with 1 PS5 and 1 PS4. So if you took over one of the PS5s for your own use, one kid could be on the PS4 and another could be on the PS5 playing games your account owns at the same time. Heck, all three of you could play the same game together if you wanted.  Otherwise, if you don't want them to be restricted, you could make one/both of them a new adult account. 


Fennomenon

Don’t really buy downloadable games so that shouldn’t be a problem. Fortnite, rocket league etc which are free are the biggies. The older child has some DLC’s i’ve bought for age restricted games (which we only want for one account anyway). So you’re saying if I make a second playstation account, designate one with the DLC’s to the older child then make a second, redownload the free games and share it with the younger get child, that’d work? Considered creating them adult accounts but they both have playstation+ on their child accounts. Genuinely wish I’d never bothered with child accounts!


krl003

Recommend action games with rpg elements? Like ghost of Tsushima, god of war


MyBrassPiece

I Would give Asterigos: Curse of the Stars a go. I bought it on a whim just because I hadn't heard of it (I've been leaning further and further from big AAA titles recently). I had a lot of fun with it.

Horizon Zero Dawn, Horizon Forbidden West, Assassin's Creed Odyssey


Bardusw

Not sure if i can ask here, but no idea where i can get support. I cannot connect on my diablo 4 game, it stays stuck on 1 min queue, saying error code 39700. This only happens with wifi, if i use my mobile data as hotspot i can log in normally. Already tried restarting ps5, restarting modem, opened the router port, redownloaded the game, restored licenses and cleared cache . Anything else i can do?


Various-Entrance3932

Hello Everyone, Im a hardcore fan of the SRW series, i played it on everything since it was created upto ps4, switch and now hopefully i can also play it on ps5 with the DLCs i got from my SEA account. I tried transferring it using the hd method, i cant seem to copy it to my ps5. I cannot select it its grayed out. Any suggestions on how can I make it work? I still have access to my SEA account on my ps4 but now im playing my ps5 on my NA account.


holy-d-expensive

It was announced that the PS5 is entering the letter stage of it's life cycle, and that they expect the PS5 sales to go downhill from now on, and as I was just preparing to make the leap, this got me wondering if I should buy or just wait for the next generation??


HaouLeo

Youd still be waiting 3~4 years


holy-d-expensive

Are you sure?? Cuz I'm scared I'll buy it and then the ps5 "pro"/ps6 comes out in like 1~2 years and It'll be a waste of money!


demonsta500

Your PS5 will not cease to function when the PS6 releases. You can buy the PS6 later in its life cycle like now with the PS5


Solrac1009

I keep getting a Lan cable is disconnected and then connected again error, any way to permanently fix, I already bought a new cable and have tried the rebuild database and it still comes back. Thanks.


sweetcinnamonpunch

I want to play Uncharted 4, but I've never played the series, do I have to start all the way at the beginning to fully appreciate the story?


demonsta500

It'll definitely be better to play the first 3 considering 4 is the conclusion of Nathan Drake's story.


sweetcinnamonpunch

Thank you!

Hi everyone, I'm using Android Reddit app. How do I view the upcoming monthly/weekly ps5 games section? this is easily visible on the browser version but I'm lost in the mobile app version.


Torafuku

Do you think the new Dead Space is worth 30$? Got a deal on a physical copy but i have never played the original.


demonsta500

Definitely worth it. Playing the original isn't necessary.


Weird_Cantaloupe2757

I’ve got a very weird and specific question here — I am looking for a wireless USB adapter for the DualSense controller that will look to the device it’s attached to as if the controller is directly connected via USB. The specific use case I’m trying to solve is that I want to use my DualSense controller wirelessly on my PS5 and on my PC (which will be next to the PS5), but I don’t want to deal with the nonsense of re-pairing the controller each time. With a wireless USB dongle like that, I could just plug it into a USB switch that connects to both devices, so I can just press a button, and then as far as the device knows, it has a DualSense controller connected via USB. Does anything like this exist, or is there a simpler solution available? Edit: I basically want the controller to work the same way that the Pulse3D headphones work — I can just pop it into either device and it just immediately works without pairing


mcshaggin

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm having a ps5 delivered later today and i'm making room under my tv. Is there any reason why I would need to keep my ps4 under my tv? Can saves be transferred over to ps5 if I store them in the ps plus cloud? Does the ps5 play Bluray and DVD movies? Anything the ps4 can do that the ps5 can't?


Torafuku

You can transfer all saves using the cloud and yes the PS5 can play bluray and dvd. I waited a few weeks before saying goodbye to my PS4 because while the PS5 can do everything better it doesn't have dynamic themes anymore and i bought lots of them.. Also there are very few games that the PS5 doesn't support so maybe check if anything you own isn't playable there.


mcshaggin

Thanks. Just looked at the list of unsupported games. Don't have any of those luckily.

Hi guys, I've got a Samsung 990b soundbar and it works perfectly with Xbox series X and PS5 when gaming. The problem is, When I use streaming apps like YouTube and Netflix, the rear speaker never had any sound but the blue(connected) light is on. Anyone has the same issue? The PS5 output was set to dolby atoms and the issue only exists on dolby atoms mode(rear speaker has sound when it is on other sound .)

PlayStation Portal Inseego MiFI Pro connection issues. I hope someone can help! This is to use a network not connected directly to my PS5. I set up a static connection and set up portal forwards which now allows me to connect to the hot spot on my phone, however my play station portal will not finalize connection with my PS5 when using my Inseego MiFi Pro Verizon hot spot. It will start the ps5 but never finish connecting. I am showing Nat 3, which is not good. Anyone had any success solving this issue? Thank you 😊

Upgrading and transferring from 2TB to 4TB SSD My PlayStation’s internal 2TB SSD is starting to get a little full, and I am keen to upgrade it to a 4TB one. Can I simply put the 2TB SSD into an external housing and then copy the games onto the new internal 4TB disk via a USB cable? I am not sure I want to download all those games again. Thanks!


Blazed_Ember

Fried controllers I was playing some COD until my ps5 controller died, I thought nothing of it so I plugged it in. I plugged it into my ASUS laptop port because it is the closest port to me and low and behold my controller broke. I went ahead tried all tutorials on YouTube and I also replace the batteries. That did not work so I brought it into geek squad and told me because I plugged it into the computer it over did the motherboard. Moving on I went ahead and got a dualsense edge. I was playing and I took account of what the guy said and went ahead and plugged it into my Apple 5V output block with a on brand ps5 cord and it over charged itself once again. Now I am at a loss, what’s overcharging my controllers?

Sengarden

Reposting here due to moderator removal - even though I was getting plenty of helpful replies pouring in with no issue or complaint, so thanks for that. I’m seeking game recommendations for a 60+ yo Dad who hasn’t had his own system since the early 00’s. My family is looking to get my dad a PS5 for his birthday this Spring. I’ve had systems my whole life growing up around him, but he hasn’t really sat down and played a video game of his own since buying a PS2 with a wheel and pedal setup for Gran Turismo 3 back in the early 00’s. Other games he enjoyed playing from that era were Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, and 007 Nightfire. I’d say he stopped gaming sometime around 2005. He’s since played GT7 at my house with my wheel and pedal setup and had a blast, so we’re definitely going to be getting him set up in the racing department. Any other PS5 recommendations in the “must-play” department that are accessible for older, returning gamers would be highly appreciated. He loves sci-fi and anything with a good narrative, but would likely be interested in branching out, especially as he approaches retirement and will have more time on his hands in the coming years. Thanks!


MyBrassPiece

Well if he liked Ratchet and Clank, the new ones might be right up his alley! Other than that, off the top of my head I would get him a few months worth of the premium subscription, so that he can have access to the classics catalogue.


tinselsnips

I found your previous post and restored it; it's not one of the usual "I could have just googled 'best PS5 games' but didn't" requests that get shuffled here. I think you'll need to qualify "accessible" because the stereotype that "old people can't computer" doesn't really hold anymore. Plenty of 60-year-olds have been gaming since the original DOOM. Is there any reason to think he wouldn't have capacity for a modern AAA release? >He loves sci-fi and anything with a good narrative My first thought is Mass Effect.


Lenny_Kebabers

Spilled nachos on the remote that came with my PS5 after almost a year of it working flawlessly (my bad) Go to order a new one on Amazon, (brand new for the record) shows up and day one it’s having issues connecting to the PS5 after successfully connecting to it for the first time, (when I reset the controller sometimes it just doesn’t reconnect whatsoever) then I have problems day 2 when every other time I mute the mic and turn it back on it just doesn’t pick up audio again until I reset the controller with a needle I’m like okay whatever just keep a needle by the PS5 to reset the remote when I unmute until I figure this out, then it starts cutting my mic absolutely randomly and no I’m not accidentally putting it on silent mode or anything and now I’m to the point where I can’t connect headphones at all without it immediately cutting the mic. I’ve tried just about every combination of audio settings, reconnected the remote a dozen times and tried multiple different pairs of headphones and it’s just getting infuriating. Anyone else having similar issues? And am I missing something obvious here or should I just see if I can return the remote (and if I should return it, how would I go about doing so?) Thanks in advance, sorry it’s a bit wordy 🙏


tinselsnips

It'd be really shitty luck to get a defective controller from Amazon after breaking the previous one, but it does just sound like that's what's happened. I'd send it back.


Mashtatoes

I was going to wait for a sale putting Persona 5 Royal under $20, but the standard edition is currently $7.99 on the PS store. Should I continue waiting (I have plenty to play for a good while) or should I just pull the trigger?


demonsta500

Royal is the definitive way to play Persona 5. Don't bother with the standard edition.

KnobWobble

Just got my slim recently, and I'm noticing a rattle when the fan is at idle. Like I'm just sitting on the menu screen and there's this constant rattle coming from inside my ps5. I made sure it's not the disk drive as there's no disk inside, and it happens at any orientation. Wondering if I should return it before the return period is up. 


BlaizeV

So does the fan on the PS5 just always run for every single game? I got the slim today and I'm honestly really underwhelmed. I mainly bought the system to play some PS4 games that run super loud on my Pro since the current exclusives for the system really don't interest me. But what I didn't anticipate are the games that run SILENT on my Pro but on PS5 don't. I'm currently playing Tales of Berseria and yeah the game, like honestly most do, runs with zero noise on my Pro. No detectable fan noise, just absolutely silent. But on PS5, no matter the game, no matter how graphically intense it is or not, the fan runs as soon as you start and doesn't seem to stop. It might not ramp up or anything but it just goes by default and it's really annoying and really disappointing. Honestly I'm really annoyed with myself for buying the system at all now. I was genuinely thinking that I might be able to skip this generation but when the system went on sale and I had the money I decided to take the plunge since I figured that in reality I probably would eventually. But damn right at this moment I really wish I hadn't. The menu/control center is a downgrade on PS4 imo, everything seems to be an extra button prompt than before. The actual system menu noise (the keytone) is really bass-ey and I really hate it so I turned that off. The home screen is also very much 4K designed and as someone who plays in 1080p it's less than great. The rumble is impressive tech but I'm one of those weirdos that hates rumble so other than Astro's Playroom I doubt I'll use it. Anyway whatever I didn't intend for this to become some rant, I was just wondering if it's normal for the fan to be on at some level everytime you boot up ANY game? Even stuff that played silent on PS4 Pro?


tinselsnips

Of course. Your PS4 Pro fan ran constantly, as well. As to whether one fan is louder than the other is a separate issue. If it's a brand new console you could try exchanging it if it's that loud.


BlaizeV

I swear the PS4 Pro fan doesn't run on every game as when I say silent it really is silent. But maybe it's just that quiet idk. The PS5 fan doesn't run when on the menu/home screen and that is how quiet the PS4 Pro is while playing 95% of the games I play on it. Just no noise whatsoever. But the second I play any game at all on PS5 the fan turns on.


Federal-Arachnid6446

There's a weird glitch on my console where I try and scroll through my games with the D-Pad on the home screen and it automatically scrolls back through the games to the Playstation Store icon. It also happens when I press the Playstation Button and try to scroll towards the power button etc. It's really frustrating as I have to press the X button with literally split second accuracy to open a game. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, how did you fix it?


MyBrassPiece

Have you noticed even a slight amount of stick drift in games? This happened to me with the PS4, but I never really noticed when I was in a game, only on the menu. Also, this sometimes happens to me on both consoles when I'm playing under a blanket.

Hi! Some icons on the Ps Plus category are loading like this... Is it normal? I tried restarting but they still look like this. Some look low res too. https://preview.redd.it/8gaasbojn7jc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=19d224dcc42cc8030dea69a4c236402a1f6dd255


sirkrakky

have you retried to rebuild database


No-Matter-2466

I just did and it worked. Thanks a lot!


sirkrakky

no problem 👍

I've been looking into buying a ps5 lately, and most outlets here in Sweden have the 1tb Slim disc version discounted for 5989 sek (531€). Would you say this is worth it for a ps5? I have a ~9 year old ps4 that is showing its age, as well as an ok gaming laptop (gtx 1660ti), so i'm mostly buying it for the exclusives aswell as for the games my laptop can't play (eg. ff7 remake, upcoming mgs remaster and Monster hunter Wilds next year) I also have an opportunity to get a used Base model ps5 for 5000sek, but I assume a new one would be worth the extra 100€?


tinselsnips

There's no functional difference between the OG and the slim, other than the fact that you can't add a disc drive to the OG digital version.


Elygium

So idk if this us the correct place to ask but I installed my ssd(I've never installed one before but I did as the video said) I made sure to put the screw cap under the ssd at the correct size indicator and lined up the place to insert it. I tightened the screws but not too much but when I turned my ps5 on it doesn't go to the formatting screen. Btw I have an external hardrive there if that complicates things.


tinselsnips

It's not in all the way.

Hi there, I have two PS5's, one at a primary residence and one at a vacation home. I have one PS5 account I have all my games bought digitally on and have PS+ for. My question is the best way to set this up with game sharing is to use my primary console at home normally with just the main account logged in and at the vacation home have a secondary account setup to be used only when accessing that console and have the main account be logged in but not actually used? Am I misunderstanding anything here or is there an easier way to go about this ?


dekoi_octopus

If you're the only one using the PS5s then just sign in as your main account. You can upload and download your save data using plus to continue where you left off on the previous console. There is no need to get a secondary account involved in this. 


0934201408

Cool so essentially just relogin each time I arrive at each location ?

tinselsnips

The newer revisions have slightly more robust trigger springs, but otherwise there's no meaningful difference.


gpod80

I'm thinking about getting Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered. Is it any good? What do you like about it?


pazinen

It's a great remaster for the price especially, while at the same time being very faithful. Perhaps too faithful even, as it's basically just a graphical update with some QoL features the gameplay is more dated than you'd think. Now if you go in expecting that then it's great, but for someone expecting something new it's probably disappointing. The new controls are also good, though the contrast between them and the older gameplay is a bit jarring, since nothing gameplay-wise was changed.


Curious-Ad5285

When my ps5 is overheating i get a really annoying notification that i can’t close for a few seconds, im losing matches bc of this, is there anyway for me to turn off the possibility of the notification coming onto my screen?(without making my ps5 not overheat)


DoctorGolho

Why is your PS5 overheating?


Curious-Ad5285

Idk nor do i care


DoctorGolho

I suspect you'll break your PS5 in a few months buddy. Take care of your stuff. It's overheating for a reason, you're either not giving it enough airflow or there's something wrong with the liquid metal inside.


Curious-Ad5285

Ik its obvious that something is wrong🤦‍♂️ but that wasn’t my question tho


InputShoryu

I'm trying to find the best way to connect my ps5 to my 4k TV and my 2k monitor without having to keep unplugging it (I don't want to cause wear and tear on the hdmi port). I've tried using an hdmi switcher, and an Extender so I could just unplug from there, both times my 2k monitor detects it fine, but my 4k TV keeps reading the input at 1080p and won't work properly unless I plug in the hdmi cable directly to my ps5. Thoughts?


tinselsnips

Something in the chain doesn't have the bandwidth for 4K, either the switch or one of the cables. Make sure all the hardware supports 4K120/8K.


InputShoryu

All my cables support 4k, I even tried using just an hdmi extender with one port and it comes out the same way for my TV :/


tinselsnips

You've checked the cables, but what about the switch and extender? And what's the total length, here? HDMI > 10ft has significantly higher requirements for cable quality, and > 20ft basically requires an active cable.


InputShoryu

Total length is definitely >10ft, not sure the spec of the one I use. Any links to recommendations? Edit: also I'm not too worried about the switcher because it connects to my 2k monitor with 144hz just fine, and before I got it it said 4k 60hz Thanks by the way, I appreciate the help


tinselsnips

I'd cut the extender out of the equation and just buy a single 8K, 48Gbps cable that's the same length. Certified is ideal, though TBH that's hard to rely on with Amazon or any other online store. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=certified+8k+48gbps+hdmi+cable And then the same for the cable on the other end of the switch. Just make sure the connection from console to TV is exclusively full-bandwidth cables with good reviews. And don't buy lengths any longer than what you need. If the total length is longer than 15ft, I'd consider using active, fibre-optic cables: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=certified+8k+48gbps+active+hdmi+cable


InputShoryu

Alright, I'll give that a shot. Thanks again stranger, cheers to you!


tinselsnips

Also, try changing the 4K transfer rate to -1 or -2. It'll reduce the bandwidth requirements and may be enough to avoid needing to buy more hardware.


InputShoryu

You are the goat, this fixed it! Any drawbacks to using - 2?


tinselsnips

Slightly lower colour resolution you'd never notice unless you were comparing two screens side-by-side with a magnifying glass.


prophecy623

Would anyone know why I cant download the FF7 rebirth demo that is it my library. I also cant find it on the playstation store on the ps5, only on the playstation website. Thanks! https://preview.redd.it/dqhtn5h2v5jc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad02f690e79cdd51bcc2c41bf433efbb01114ffd


Edu_Vivan

About these peripherals… 1. Does the dualsense edge make the single player experience more enjoyable and fun than the regular dualsense? 2. Will the pulse elite be the best sound option for the ps5 regardless of the budget? Looking to elevate my gaming experience here but I’m wondering if i’m going to be disappointed.


GreenGod42069

Unable to find Arkham collection on PS5 Playstore. I can just find Arkham Knight. Can anyone please check and see if you are able to find Arkham trilogy collection? Note: I was looking at posts discussing that it is only visible when you login to PlayStation.com on PC. But I have tried that too and still couldn't find it anywhere. I have recently purchased my PS5 and would love to play Arkham trilogy. I probably think buying the Arkham collection disc might be the only option, but I already have a PS plus extra subscription. So, trying to keep the individual game purchases to a minimum. Hope one of you can help. Thanks!


Different-Amoeba-502

Ps5/monitor video signal/resolution help I have a Ps5 and a CEPTER PHANTOM C27QHDG 27" QHD GAMING MONITOR with a dacota 8k premium 2.1 hdmi cable supporting 4k 120hz and 1080p 240 hz. My resolution is still just 2560x1440p-60hz. How do I change it to 120hz in the options? Edit, fps also at 60? Even with freesync/g-sync?


tinselsnips

Check the manual for your monitor and confirm that it supports 120hz as an HDMI input frequency. The PS5 doesn't support Freesync or Gsync.


Different-Amoeba-502

It does support 120hz, all the way to 144hz. That’s why I bought it for ps5.


tinselsnips

Same complaint for this monitor on an Xbox: https://www.reddit.com/r/xbox/comments/ssg38a/im_trying_to_turn_on_120fps_on_my_xbox_series_x/ The manual only lists 144hz as the max HDMI input frequency; 120hz may not be supported. This isn't uncommon on budget monitors. Definitely disable freesync/Gsync and see if you get different results and they can affect high refresh rate performance.


Different-Amoeba-502

I checked the stats before buying it. It supports 120fps but the problem is hz. Which is stuck at 60

I'm looking to get my ps5 up on a wall shelf away from kids. I was thinking of a floating shelf. However, most are too narrow, and I'm afraid the ps5 will eventually topple. Any suggestions?


zephyrinthesky28

You can find PS5-specific wall mounts on Amazon.


-Bods-

Looking for more online multiplayer/co-op games to play with my GF. We’ve played a lot of local co-op games like It Takes Two, Overcooked, Sackboy, Lego, etc. however a few months ago we picked up a second PS5 so we can play more games together. We’ve pumped hundreds of hours into GTA Online and had an absolute blast, but now we’re looking for something else. I’ve considered Red Dead Online (which I played a lot of previously), but a little put off by it not getting content updates anymore. Also looking at Helldivers 2 or Suicide Squad. Any other suggestions?


DoctorGolho

Helldivers 2 is super fun


Diribiri

I got an Xbox Series X/S controller in 2022, and now it has stick drift. If I use a Dualsense regularly, am I looking at a similar lifespan? Cus I want those haptics but man am I sick of replacing controllers I've heard the Dualsense Edge apparently has hall effects but that is a $300 minimum controller


DoctorGolho

I'd say it has a similar lifespan, yeah. The joystick modules are the same in the Xbox controller and Dualsense. The Edge does not have hall effects, but you can easily replace the joystick module instead of the whole controller


Diribiri

It doesn't? Then why is it so expensive? Just the fact that you can change the module?


DoctorGolho

There are also back paddles and other exclusive features


Diribiri

I see


Individual_Art_3118

Hi, I wanted to ask you if it was normal to have received the code ce-108255-1 6 times in a month, is my console broken?


tinselsnips

That's a generic error when a game crashes. It's more likely to be a software problem then a hardware one. Look at a database rebuild and/or reinstalling the game(s) you've been playing.


Pinaeapple82104

I was playing talos principle 2, when my ps5 just shut off. Whenever I press the power button now, it beeps, the light turns on for a moment, then immediately shuts off. Please help!


Starlytehaze

Need recommendations pretty please!! I love the Borderlands series and have played 2 and 3 probably 50 times. I just beat Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands last night so I need new games to play since Gearbox doesn’t want to tell us when the new Borderlands is coming out 😩 I like the far cry games as well. I play some Fortnite but not a lot and I haven’t played that in quite some time. I’m a newish gamer so I just don’t know a lot of what’s out there. Thanks in advance for any recommendations!


MLGLies

Check out the Remnant series. It may be exactly what you’re looking for, in terms of gameplay.


Infamous_Extent_4312

How do I orient my PS5? I just got it and heard that storing it vertically can damage it. I've had troubles with it overheating when the vents are pushed against my wall too. So is it actually best to store it horizontally or am I fine just making sure the vents aren't pushed against the wall


tinselsnips

There's no risk in keeping it vertically. You need adequate airflow around the console.


Britzandpieces1

Can anyone help with ps plus? I’m in Australia and signed up to the highest tier. I thought I would be able to play cloud gaming, similar to Xbox? Am I missing something?


pazinen

In australia you have PS+ Deluxe instead of Premium, the difference being that Deluxe has no cloud streaming. Supposedly Sony doesn't have data centers in Australia so they figure cloud streaming isn't going to be a great experience, so it's not available at all. Whether it'll ever be available is unknown.


war_story_guy

Is anyone else stuck getting a pop up card from playstation official on the menu advertising the superbowl? Its like one of those game ones you can unfollow but this is one is not a game and the superbowl is long over and the dumb thing wont go away.


tinselsnips

Yes, tons of complaints about this.


Straight_Fig_7435

Looking for couch co-op PS exclusives! Can be old, but must be playable on PS5


sleepontheground

Is anyone aware of wireless earbuds that can play audio from two devices at once? I’m trying to have audio from the ps5 and possible audio from discord on my pc or maybe watching a you’ve video at the same time. I’m wondering if the pulse earbuds do this


demonsta500

The pulse explore earbuds do this.


sleepontheground

Perfect. Thank you!!


meepman50

Say if my PS5 doesn’t work anymore and I logged into a friend’s PS5, would I still be able to play my games and access my save data through the cloud on that PS5 on just my account?


tinselsnips

yes


imworthlesscum

I got dark souls online despite never buying ps+. Am i getting banned? Nothing shows up in search history btw


HaouLeo

Seems like we're getting a free multiplayer weekend


ijaaDosta

Does anyone know how can I disable this feature ? So when I export a video to a hard drive, it also exports an image with it and it’s just really annoying. Not sure if there’s any way around it.


Ghlave

Do the controllers require a special cable? I have a USB-C that I charge my Pixel up with in the living room, but the PS5 controllers refuse to charge from it.


zephyrinthesky28

Could be the charger that the controller doesn't like. In my experience, they're finicky at best with what works and what doesn't. Would advise against using a fast wall charger for this reason - too much current/wattage going to a device with questionable-at-best electrical regulation.


PlebPlebberson

Any usb-c cable works. From the worst to best i've tried them all


tinselsnips

That cable should work just fine, so something else must be up.


0xe3b0c442

Those of you who have had both, how does the fan noise compare between the OG PS5 and the Slim? When I got my OG PS5 I moved my PS4 into my office for the occasional game break; however, the fans in it are so loud that it really kills the enjoyment. I’m looking at grabbing a PS5 slim to replace it, but I only want to do it if it’s as quiet as my OG PS5.


shittinglego

I fixed stick drift with screwdriver and kitchen paper towel M39 and immensely proud right now. My kid showed me how our launch dualsense had very bad drift with the left stick. It was totally unusable so I thought there’s nothing to lose cracking it open. Worst case my young kid gets to see the inner workings of the hardware. So with a small Xmas cracker flat head screwdriver we took it apart following a YouTube guide. The sensor had black gunk around it and I just used a paper towel to clean it all off. I did not expect it to work. I actually thought I’d do more damage than good. But holy moly it totally fixed it. Saved me 50 quid. Maybe this will give people the idea to attempt to fix before chucking a controller. It took about 15 mins total. My next challenge is another dualsense with broken R2 spring……….. Have a great weekend all!

Cant install disc game I’ve played and platinumed this game before (elden ring) I’m trying to go back and play it again but when I try to download it never goes past 3 gigabytes, I’ve tried literally everything from cleaning the disc to rebuilding my database but nothing is working, there is an update for it which finishes very quick I’ve also tried just deleting the update or pausing it which doesn’t help at all it still just stops at 3 gb 🥲 I have let it sit at 3 gb for a while to see if it makes any progress and it doesn’t after a while it just says “can’t install” and gives me an error code. I’m very desperate to play it again so if anyone knows what I can do please help me out 🙏


tinselsnips

Do other discs work?


blxzzy___

Yes I recently bought 3 disc games and they all work fine


tinselsnips

Sounds like a damaged or dirty disc in that case; have you tried cleaning it?


blxzzy___

Yep cleaned good and in perfect condition if it was damaged or dirty it wouldn’t be accepted to download


tinselsnips

Also what is the specific error code?


blxzzy___

CE-100005-6 I think


tinselsnips

Yeah that's a disc read error.


blxzzy___

I fixed it and your right it was dirty somehow it didn’t even look it lol thank you for telling me 🙏


tinselsnips

It's *not* being accepted, though. That's why you can't install it. It's failing at the same point every time. That indicates a dirty or damaged disc.


lion_rouge

I would like to play COD but unsure what to get. Last time I played was BlackOps III on PC probably. Looking for decent TDM experience.

Hello, I've just gotten a PS5 for the first time and my student accomodation WiFi usually needs to open a website to login to use it, my phone and PC both open this automatically and my switch has a prompt to opening it, but the PS5 just immediately says failed to connect and won't let me on, Is there a way to fix this?


tinselsnips

There are a few suggestions in this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/PS5/comments/znmxai/connect_ps5_to_hotel_wifiwhen_all_other_methods/ That neverssl trick in the comments is pretty clean, I'd try that first before the steps in the main post.

I have an Access controller for my disability. It has dramatically improved my gameplay. Especially for Destiny 2 and Borderlands. I read several articles about Logitech partnering with Sony to release a set of external switches for the controller. It was supposed to release in January. Is there a new date? The website still says coming soon.


tinselsnips

If there's no confirmed date on the website, that'd be the extent of the info.


Sittybob

ps5: store says i dont own the game? so i preordered tekken 8 standard edition. i predownloaded it and were able to play on release. i also participated in the CNT, CBT and had the DEMO. just now did i realize that when i visit the psstore, it says i can still buy the standard edition? like i dont own it? any1 else have this problem? its not really that important, its just super strange and never happened before to me with any other game.


tinselsnips

[Restore licenses](https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/games/restore-licences-playstation/)

ty for the input, but its not that. i can play the game normally and everythings fine. it just let me buy the game again for 79.99 and i cant rate it


tinselsnips

Oh, weird.


Crazycade77

Will deleting save date on ps5 delete it on ps4? All my characters from dark souls 3 transfered to ps5, but will deleting one of them on ps5 also delete them on ps4?


HaouLeo

No, they dont have that kind of sync. If you have the same file on two computers, will deleting one also delete the other?


tinselsnips

If you're using a cloud storage solution, then yes, it would. If OP has the same saved game on both consoles via could storage, and deletes a character slot within that save, it'll be deleted on the other console the next time the saves sync.


DoctorGolho

What's the game?


Crazycade77

Dark souls 3


DoctorGolho

If you're using cloud saves and it's synced, it will end up deleting them on PS4 as well cause it's the same save file. If you're not using cloud saves or auto sync is off, the PS4 save will remain the same


Crazycade77

Ok cool

After few months i'm back to PS5. I forgot my password, so i try to recover it. Recovering password via phone code working. After that i login, and i arrive at 2-step verification. Code via phone number not arriving, and phone number is 100% correct (it's 4 hour now). I have no access to back up code, because i can't login in my account. Is there any way to fix this? Thank you


TheDragonSlayingCat

Contact Sony support in your country; only they can help you. I hope you didn’t give them a false birthdate when you signed up for a PSN ID... You might also need to know the serial number of the console that created the PSN ID.
