Best tip I’ve discovered: Turn on the zoom feature in accessibility. Press the ps button and square simultaneously to zoom up to 3X at any point even while still playing. Saved my near-sighted, lore-loving behind playing Cyberpunk with its microscopic text size!
I highly recommend this for anyone (like me) who wants to read every little thing the game makers have put into a game (e.g., the "marker scrawl" on the walls in Dead Space) or to scope out the enemy when they have no idea you are even there (e.g., Skyrim).
FR, when i got my ps5 i thought it was broken until i looked it up and saw that it was the other way around, idk what possessed sony to have it like that
An important tip to take into account after the first couple weeks is rearranging the control center icons when you press the PS button. Find the options you use the most and put them closer to the front. For example, I use my playstation a lot for media, so I moved the controller option up to make it quicker to turn it off and save battery.
I have to say that voice search (using voice to search for a game ) is perfect. It always gives me the right results. I never had a voice command product that worked all the time. But the voice search in PS5 never failed me even with some of the odd naming of some games out there.
This comes just in time for me. While I didn't receive a PS5 for Christmas from my wife or kids, I DID receive one from my nephew! He's a doctor and I am going through chemotherapy, so he "prescribed" a new PS5 with Baldur's Gate 3 for my overall wellness. Thanks for the helpful video!
Very important tip. Use the included hdmi or new equivalent with proper capabilities to have it running smoothly on your tv or monitor. Outdated ones can cause issues & cause screen timing to b off. If u r getting black screen, even temporarily, it is either that or DHCP setting should b off. 2nd tip: Nextorage SSD is a better priced option for back up ssd storage & is made by the ppl who created ssd for PS5 originally. I got a 4tb with heatsink for $200 on sale during the holidays vs the nearly $400 it would cost for the competitors. Ck for sales!
Cables are important. I even work in a big box retail store and forgot that. Upgraded my TV recently, and while the PS5 works fantastically with it's included cable on both the new and old TV, the PC I had connected flipped out when i turned on HDR. Took way longer than I want to admit to figure out it was because I was using an old HDMI cable I'd been using since my PS3 to hook it up, and it just couldn't handle the bandwidth. New cable instantly fixed the problem. To be clear, no one needs the stupidly expensive ones, those are just snake oil. But HDMI 2.1 features DO need a minimum bandwidth out of the cable. So if you have more than one 2.1 device make sure you use the provided cables or shop for ones with the necessary bandwidth for the features you wanna use.
When i was in school, my teachers said i didn’t read enough. So i started to put subtitles on and read them as i was playing, but now i can’t play a game without subtitles on. You’re not alone ash lol
I will never remove the playstation beep. It’s so iconic and I love hearing it eveytime I sit down on the couch for a gaming session. It’s my little way of indicating i’m entering the zone lol
07:05 No one seems to acknowledge that while it is quicker to transfer a game from extended storage to internal storage, you also can't do ANYTHING while the transfer takes place. Redownloading takes longer, yes, but at least you can play something else in the meantime?
note you can not use multiple extended storage devices try switching between them and you risk losing ps4 games and in some cases make them impossible to redownload, this has happened to me
That SSD card would come in super handy for me who doesn't have enough storage for all I need. Shame it costs £130-£159 or so. May need to wait until next pay day for that.
An external can often free up some space too. I mean unless you have no ps4 games on there but if you have psplus you are likely to have a few. Can hold you over until you can snag one or find one on sale. I recommend saving a couple in an Amazon list and watch for sales. They go on sale a few times a year in the states so I presume they would over there too.
I wish there'd been instructions on how to set up the controller mic for broadcasting And don't forget if you change your phone number update it on your PS account, if you lock yourself out of your PS5 it's a nightmare getting back in without the 2 part verification witch they send to your phone
One tip that I think more people need to know is that if you want the full effect of the haptics and adaptive triggers, then you have to mute the controller mic. If you don't then it defaults to the standard strength, even if you've set it to strong. I can only assume it does this to stop interference with the mic. Hope this helps some people.
If tou need to share the tv with someone who isn't interested in games, turn off device link in the hdmi setings. Might save you and them some unneeded frustration
I think the noise in the beginning of the video when the PlayStation logo appears should replace the beep when you start up the console:) My beeps at Medium 😅
Worried about controller battery life or how short the cable that comes with the system is? Don't want to sit right in front og your TV/monitor? Power bars with USB ports and 10' USB cables exist. Anker powerlines are great ones.
If you buy a ps5 slim Disk. You can’t put your Bluetooth usb ( for cordless headphone’s) it gets hot being at the back of the console ( so shuts down after 35 minutes! Be aware of this!
I don't use headset, i use my ps5 controller for communication, is there's a way to have my friends voice coming out my tv speakers? Controller not loud enough
As wonderful as these tips are (thanks PS Access at this point), I would like the mobile app to be able to create my game lists on it. What could be nicer than being able to take care of your collection while you're on the go?
I have a home theater surround sound system. Once, when I was playing Uncharted, a cop knocked at my door because someone called in a possible shooting! I had to explain that the game is what they were hearing
Had the console since launch and virtually every time I watch one of these I learn something new. Let's see: Yep. Had no clue I could mute all sound by holding the mute button.
If I get a ps5 one day I will have to buy a HDMI audio seperater because I always have audio playing through my HiFi I believe the ps5 only had HDMI output.
@@Bastion90 Quite so. The tints and hips bit in case you weren't aware was a reference to Rosie's brother Jim 'Caddicarus' Caddick who did that gag in one of his videos (and I did watch a clip of it before commenting).

I know ppl say some of these things are obvious, but my mate who had ps5 since shortly after it came out had no idea there was a built in mic to the controller that was switched on every time he was going on Cod or FIFA or whatever untill I told him a few weeks ago 😂. He just looked at the controller and goes "so ... They can hear me... Now?", Me: "every time"
