Sony’s next-generation console is finally here. But does the hype warrant a day-one purchase? Jeff Bakalar has been playing with the PS5 non-stop for weeks and is ready to deliver a final verdict in this review.

While PlayStation 5 doesn’t necessarily have a ton of new games to play on it, there are a few features out of the box that offer players something genuinely new. Here’s everything you need to know about PS5, including what it’s like playing Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

    Can anyone tell me does ps5 support 120fps on 1080p with an hdmi 2.0 ? If it does im going to hold on my 1080p monitor . For a bit longer ng until 4k 120 gets a bit cheaper

      I’m pretty sure that you can transfer game saves between PS4 and ps5

      Think i heard him say ps4 saves may not show up if playing ps5 version of same game

    It’s a little criminal how much you left out about the backwards compatibility in this video – I recommend every go and watch Digital Foundry’s video on it.

    TL:DR – it’s got some GREAT results, and a lot of games benefit greatly from the PS5s CPU and GPU – a fact that is completely absent from this review.

    When the ps5 started up I had a little moan

    I sold my ps4 pro and now I see this video… No the last of us 2 improvements??? Are you freaking joking me sony? FFS I should have kept my ps4 pro till ps5 pro. Jesus christ I got screwed.

    Can someone explain the ps5 1440p support issue, I mean, ¿why can’t it do 1440p if it can do 4k?¿Or was the whole 1440p thing a fake rumor or something?

  14. TheLordstrider

    November 7, 2020 at 12:10 am

    Sony: loading times are a thing of the past.
    This video: loading times.
    Bonus: loading times longer than ps4 pro.

    What a screw up. Super duper Fast ssd my #$&.

    Honestly you haven’t spoken about one of the main questions 1440p🤦‍♂️.

  22. Reilly

    November 7, 2020 at 1:00 am

    I’m gonna be honest. I feel PS5 has the screen and the layout the way it is. So we can all appreciate the layout….

    …….lol

    I’m curious of the internet speeds. My PS4 doesn’t use my full speeds, not even close. How are the speeds on the new system?

    November 7, 2020 at 1:05 am

    I heard a rumor from a friend it has a short controller battery life. Any truth to this?

    November 7, 2020 at 3:52 pm

    Any word on the missing VRR features on PS5? Patches on being able to store your PS5 games on an external SSD as opposed internal, etc.

    I have to sleep with my parents BECAUSE OUR HOUSE IS TOO SMALL

  34. Dragon Source

    November 7, 2020 at 4:07 pm

    What I’m hearing is bigger console, slightly faster/slower loading times, very confusing back compat, very confusing menus, very confusing game saves, etc.

    But the controller is decent but not great. Has very immersive rumble but has a smaller cheaper looking PS button, and I’d be willing to bet it dies almost just as fast as the DS4 which was unacceptable.

    I’ll get a PS5 one day but I’m happy I went with Series X that has the PS5 beat in these instances mentioned above.

  37. Blu3_ b1rd22

    Is it me or is it just that the ps5’s controller looks like an armored crab

  43. Michael Kofler

    The Xbox series x reminds me of the borg mothership and the ps5 reminds me of Dracula in a lab coat.

    Lol ps5 is gonna be tra+sh History just keeps repeating itself, new trash consoles comes out with medi+ocre games gets hyped with pa+id reviews and slurpers prices drops rinse and repeat. Anyone singing praise to this tra+sh ps5 was obviously paid by sony or has severe cognitive dis+abilities. You gaming rejects never cease to amaze me with how low you can get far cry from a hardcore gamer such as myself.

  53. brandonmcduff

    November 8, 2020 at 4:44 pm

    Crazy with this pandemic with tons of people struggling and not working probably shouldn’t buy this right now. I’m willing to bet those same people will have a ps5 day one lol. I know because I’m one of them.

  54. eight7six joe

    November 8, 2020 at 4:52 pm

    Is there any difference in the quality of the PS4 vs the PS5 game whn played on the PS5?

  55. aldosv73

    November 8, 2020 at 4:54 pm

    Yea it also records you playing, violation of privacy is what I call that. So no, as technology advanced as it is, it won’t be coming into our house.

  56. RA THE HITMAKER

    November 8, 2020 at 4:55 pm

    Backwards compatibility and free PSN for those games would make it the greatest console ever

  57. Zion Geeratz

    November 8, 2020 at 5:06 pm

    Ho ho ho, you’ve been playing warzone and you mention it this briefly? How does it compare? Are there any noticeable improvements? Will Warzone be upgraded for PS5 and Xbox X/S? Does anyone know more about this?

    November 8, 2020 at 5:50 pm

    Lol I can feel the downplay of the Xbox’s rein of absolute best in class power, size and dominance. What did he say, Xbox is value and flexibility? Lol what is that supposed to mean?

  61. Hokum

    November 8, 2020 at 6:41 pm

    so ps5 can run games at 1440p and support it last time i check it says it cant run games at that quality or it dont support it at all when you go to settings and change quality !

  62. Katie S

    November 8, 2020 at 6:46 pm

    PlayStation isn’t supporting 1440 right out the gate!? WTF are they thinking!? This is suppose to be next gen!?

  66. OpTicFanBoy24

    November 8, 2020 at 8:45 pm

    “The cant install due to lack of memory” at 2:39 is concerning. You cant have that many games on the console already and its out of space?

  67. HW Collector

    November 8, 2020 at 8:58 pm

    “this video not meant to be xbox series x comparison” and yet it is full of that xbox crap 😀 Keep that crap out of the ps5 videos. Also, maybe a better camera in place?

  68. Idk_Outcast_

    November 8, 2020 at 9:39 pm

    What I’m getting from this is there are a few unnecessary nitpicks that wont do much and you get used to and love easily or some stuff that they have got slightly wrong as it’s a first time feature for sony that they can fix later, like the cards, meaning there isnt really enough wrong to disregard it completely without a second thought, it’s supposed to feel new and different so I’m giving it a chance, like everyone getting it should

  69. ezcore

    November 8, 2020 at 10:57 pm

    Is there an option for 1440p?

  70. Mark Capiz

    Yea you are definitely late for uploading this video. We already know all this information. You can delete this video if you want.

  71. ideasproduction

    November 8, 2020 at 11:14 pm

    did you guys actually reviewed one of the most anticipated consoles in the world and then uploaded the material in 720p? pathetic.

  72. DragonMatt81

    November 8, 2020 at 11:15 pm

    720p 30fps video about a next gen console?

  73. Lior DJ

    November 8, 2020 at 11:40 pm

    Zero information. waste of time. FPS count? Tempature? How the shop is being displayed? Noise metter during peak performance? nothing? ok then

  74. liton rahman

    November 9, 2020 at 12:40 am

    Hi. Great review. I have always been wondering. Do disk games also load fast on Ps5 or is it just internally downloaded games?

    ps5 is good but it lack feature likes xbox series x. That problem on backward compabilty (slower load time) and save data transfer really turn me off… i hope ps4 won’t be my last sony console, but for now I’m turning to xbox for my next gen console

  85. Michel Russell

  87. ImOnYoutubeTooMuch

    November 9, 2020 at 2:54 pm

    Idk if anyone can answer this.

    I have disc versions of ps4 games and have their data stored in an external hdd. Now if i were to plug said external hdd unto a ps5 would i still be able to play those games (obviously with the disc in the ps5) withoud affecting the PS5’s internal storage?

    I hope that makes sense.

  88. Trials

    November 9, 2020 at 3:18 pm

    Is it a smart idea to get Persona 5 Royal for the PS4 to play it on the PS5? I don’t have a PS4 — but the price tag being lowered for the disc would make sense, no? Let me know for any ideas aswell

  89. Stuart McCallum

    November 9, 2020 at 3:19 pm

    I currently have my PS4 games library distributed across two external HDDs. Although I can plug both of them in at the same time, not all the content is accessible unless you tell the PS4 to switch between drives. Do you know if Sony have fixed this issue and also is it possible to use a USB hub?

  90. Ben Clow

    November 9, 2020 at 4:38 pm

    Does anyone know of any sites where a person can win a ps5. Covid almost killed me in July and been in and out of hospitals since. Therefore, I haven’t been able to work. I’ve tried saving what I could but can’t even find a place that will have one to sell. Can anyone give some ideas? Ty. Message me for my number and I’ll send you pics so you know I’m not making stuff up. Ty and God bless

    13:05 oh yes I loved the button on the DS4

  94. RJ Knight

    November 9, 2020 at 8:14 pm

    So you’re saying that we should put all of our PS4 games and download (game save data) info on to a portable SSD to plug into the PS5? That would be the solution for digital, correct? If a disk then I assume you would just download the game save data? so many questions …

  95. Syed Faisal Hasan Kazmi

    November 9, 2020 at 8:20 pm

    Why have u uploaded the video in 720p, IT TOOK ME 5 MINS TO REALISE IT WASNT MY NETWORK

  96. Yarek L.R

    November 9, 2020 at 9:20 pm

    I mean does quick resume really matter if you have a physical copy of a game? You still have to insert to the disc

  97. Jaded Old Joe

    November 9, 2020 at 10:04 pm

    Why would anyone buy either this year? There’s literally ZERO system sellers out there. Just wait—and extra especially wait for PS5 to allow external HDDs. 600gb of free space is basically cod + acv.

  98. DigikidForever

    November 9, 2020 at 10:15 pm

    720P max res? UNFORGIVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  99. MrYaxalot

    November 9, 2020 at 11:23 pm

    So a channel with 3 millions subs can barley pull 200k on a video about a new console and uploads it in 720p? Who ever is running this needs to rethink everything.

  100. 1 8

    November 10, 2020 at 1:03 am

    Wait two or three years to buy this folks.
