The PlayStation 5 (PS5) is Sony’s ninth-generation home video game console, released in late 2020 as the successor to the PS4. It represents a significant leap in performance, powered by a custom SSD that virtually eliminates load times and hardware capable of 4K resolution at up to 120 frames per second.
A standout feature is the DualSense controller, which adds immersion through haptic feedback and adaptive triggers that simulate physical resistance. The console lineup has evolved since launch, now including a streamlined “Slim” model and a high-performance “Pro” version (released in 2024) with advanced AI upscaling and ray tracing.
Supported by a library of acclaimed exclusives like God of War Ragnarök and Spider-Man 2, the PS5 remains a dominant force in modern gaming.
