How Much Is The PS5
The PS5 represents a true generational leap, with lightning-fast load times and an innovative new controller designed to improve the gaming experience. Sony’s new platform, with its incredible graphics technology and incredibly creative DualSense controller, offers a level of immersion that prior consoles just couldn’t match. The system’s ultra-fast SSD is a game-changer, loading games in a matter of seconds and, in some cases, allowing for new ways to engage with them.
If you are wondering how much is the PS5, the regular edition of the console costs around $499.99/£499.99 and includes a disc drive that allows you to play physical discs as well as disc copies of PS4 games. Meanwhile, the PS5 Digital Edition is less expensive, costing $399.99/£399.99. However, It does not have a disc drive and can only play games downloaded from the PS5.
The PS4’s successor is expected to have backward compatibility with PS4 games. It comes with a solid-state hard disk as a standard feature (SSHD). The PS5 is notable for being the first console to bring cloud gaming to the masses. This means you can stream all of your games over the internet, similar to how Netflix works.
On November 12, the PlayStation 5 was released in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Mexico, and South Korea. Meanwhile, the PS5 pre-purchase period began on September 17, 2020, and this allowed users all around the world to order the console ahead of time to assure they got it on release day.
