The PlayStation 5, or PS5, is a home video game console developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Released in November 2020, it features advanced hardware, including a custom SSD for fast loading times and ray tracing capabilities for improved graphics. The console supports both physical and digital games and offers backward compatibility with many PlayStation 4 titles. The PS5 comes in two versions: the standard edition with a disc drive and a digital edition without one. It also includes a new controller called the DualSense, which provides haptic feedback and adaptive triggers for a more immersive gaming experience.
