Jun 1, 2024 · Like its rival the Xbox Series X, the PlayStation 5 is essentially a high-spec gaming PC for the living room. Which is to say, it’s stupendously powerful. The PS5 is brought to life by a 3.5GHz AMD Zen 2 processor, 16GB of GDDR6 RAM and an RDNA 2 GPU with 10.3 teraflops of graphical brawn. And like the Xbox Series X, it switches to SSD ...

This PS5 review was originally published on November 6, 2020 by Chris Morris. It has since been updated by Giovanni Colantonio to keep up to date with changes in the system’s hardware and game lineup. It received an overhaul on November 12, 2023 to reflect Sony’s slimmer, redesigned PS5 model. The most recent update was on May 5, 2024 by Giovanni C...
Sony, from the very beginning, has said the PS5 is about speed. But until you experience it, it’s hard to convey just how big a difference speed can make. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 features the greatest technical magic trick I’ve ever witnessed, as players can instantaneously fast travel around New York City in the blink of an eye. Other exclusives lik...
That great power comes with a caveat. The original PS5 model was a honking big piece of hardware with some design flaws for those who wanted to lay it down horizontally. The 2023 model is something of a “slim” refresh that solves some of those problems. The new design is definitely smaller, though I wouldn’t call it compact. It still towers above j...
The PS5’s original Achilles’ heel was its poor storage space.

Microsoft found itself in the awkward spot of having to debut a new console without a first-party launch title, but Sony was in an enviable position initially. Spider-Man: Miles Moralesgave it an edge out the gate, but a lot has changed since 2020. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is terrific fun that showcases many, if not all, of the PS5’s features. God of ...
The PS5 is still the system to beat in this console generation, but while previous cycles had a clear path forward, this one is much cloudier. In its first few years, there was always a handful of big first-party games on the horizon. The PS5’s future became much harder to read after the release ofMarvel’s Spider-Man 2, as Sony planned to break int...
