PS5 console features

The PlayStation 5 is a giant technical leap over the PlayStation 4. The console comes with 16GB of GDDR6 memory and a custom RDNA 2 AMD graphics chip that can output 10.28 TFLOPS of graphics processing power with ray tracing enabled.

To further explain, ray tracing simulates the way light moves and how it bounces off various surfaces in real life. PlayStation 5 games that use ray tracing will have water, glass, light refraction, and a character’s hair that looks even more realistic.

One of the main features of the PS5 is the super-fast SSD with a custom I/O. This allows the PS5 to boot a game in a matter of seconds and many games will not contain any load screens at all. For example, the PlayStation 5 can load 16GB of data in just two seconds. In comparison, it would take the PlayStation 4 a total of 32 seconds to load that same amount of data.

In addition to an RDNA 2 based graphics chip, the PS5 contains a custom engine for 3D audio, which gives every sound in a game dimensionality. The PlayStation 5 is backwards compatible with the overwhelming majority of PlayStation 4 titles. That means you can play your favourite PS4 games on PS5 with more stable frame rates and potentially higher resolutions.

What’s the difference between PlayStation 5 console versions?

The PlayStation 5 now comes in several different versions to cater to different player preferences. Originally, there were two versions: the PlayStation 5 Standard Edition and the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition. The Standard Edition includes an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive, making it the ideal choice for players who prefer physical disc-based games and enjoy watching Ultra HD Blu-ray movies. The Digital Edition, on the other hand, does not include a disc drive and is perfect for those who prefer purchasing and downloading games digitally.

As the PlayStation 5 lineup evolved, Sony introduced new variations to meet different needs:

  • PS5 Slim Console: Now the standard model for most players, the PS5 Slim replaces the original Standard Edition. It offers the same powerful performance in a more compact, 30% smaller frame. This version still includes the Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive, providing support for physical game discs and Blu-ray movies.
  • PS5 Slim Digital Edition: Similar to the original Digital Edition, this slimmed-down version is also smaller and more space-efficient, but it does not have a disc drive. It’s designed for players who prefer a digital-only gaming experience, downloading games and streaming movies without the need for physical media.
  • PS5 Pro: The PS5 Pro is the latest addition, designed for gamers who want the highest level of performance. This digital-only model boasts a more powerful GPU, improved ray tracing capabilities, and a massive 2 TB of storage, making it the best option for those who want top-tier graphics and future-proof gaming. However, like the Slim Digital Edition, the PS5 Pro does not support physical discs.

All PlayStation 5 versions offer the same core gameplay experience, with cutting-edge graphics, super-fast load times thanks to the custom SSD, and incredible 3D audio. Whether you prefer physical media or an all-digital experience, there’s a PS5 variant that’s perfect for you.
