Enjoy the most amazing gaming experiences this console generation has to offer with PlayStation 4
Prior to the release of the PlayStation 4, many were predicting that we were approaching an end to the era of home video game consoles. Apparently the hardware engineers at Sony did not get the message however, because the PlayStation 4 enjoyed an incredibly successful launch, and continues to climb the ladder among some of the best-selling home consoles of all time. With incredible exclusives, 4K gaming and streaming, the only home console virtual reality headset in PSVR and much, much more, it’s no wonder that so many gamers choose to play on PlayStation 4.
The home of exclusive hits
The PlayStation 4 has made waves in the gaming industry with the staggering volume of incredible platform exclusive PS4 titles that have been released for the console. This includes everything from earlier releases such as the eerie and arcane Bloodborne and the epic franchise-concluding Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, to more recent titles like the ubiquitous Game of the Year winner God of War and the massively successful Marvel’s Spider-Man.
These are just a drop in the bucket in the long list of critically acclaimed titles that are available only on the PlayStation platform. The quality being delivered on a regular basis by Sony’s first-party studios are a big reason my so many gamers favour the PlayStation 4 console as their main choice.
PlayStation Pro and 4K gaming
The flagship model of the PlayStation 4 family is the PlayStation 4 Pro, a more powerful console capable of 4K resolution gaming, streaming, and more. When playing on the PlayStation 4 Pro games are optimized for the best graphics and performance possible, with incredible 4K resolution textures and graphics, shorter load times, and increased frame rate stability. The PlayStation 4 Pro console is also capable of streaming video in 4K resolution, including visual media purchased or rented from the PlayStation Network and digital store, as well as from all your favourite streaming services such as Netflix, YouTube, and more.
Other features of the PlayStation 4
The PlayStation 4 has an incredibly gamer-friendly infrastructure built around its online PlayStation Network (PSN) environment. Some of the features users can enjoy include party chat rooms with easy matchmaking for up to 16 friends, live streaming through partner applications such as Twitch, screen and video capture along with a robust editing and sharing platform, and even a share play feature where players can connect and take over control of another console user’s screen.
Furthermore, the PlayStation 4 is compatible with remote play across a plethora of devices including the PlayStation Vita console (which can also serve as a second screen device), and more recently with the PC as well as Apple and Android mobile or tablet devices.
The PlayStation 4 also supports all of the latest accessories necessary to take your gaming experience to the next level, such as epic 7.1 surround sound headsets for in-game chat and cinematic audio experiences, PS4 hard drives for expanded storage space, and a variety of different PS4 controllers, steering wheels, fight sticks, and charging stations to keep the fun going indefinitely.
PlayStation VR
The PlayStation 4 is the only traditional home console to support a virtual reality headset peripheral. The PSVR headset is compatible with any PlayStation 4 console, and the current model also features 4K signal pass-through—keeping in line with the technical abilities of the PlayStation 4 Pro. PSVR is arguably the most unique experience available in console gaming, and offers a library of multi-platform VR titles such as Skyrim VR, Beat Saber and Superhot VR, as well as acclaimed VR exclusives like Astro Bot: Rescue Mission, Farpoint, and Firewall: Zero Hour.
