PS5 FAQ: Sony Details Future DualSense Colors, USB Drive Storage, PS Plus Games & More



[ad_1]

Sony posted a lengthy PlayStation 5 FAQ ahead of the console’s launch this week.

Although PS5 games cannot be stored on external hard drives, Sony said in a PlayStation blog post that “explorations to allow gamers to store (but not play) PS5 games on a USB drive in a future update are in progress. “

He also recalled that the PS5 does not support expandable SSD storage at launch, but the feature will be enabled through a future system update.

Elsewhere in its PS5 FAQ, Sony has stated that more DualSense controller colors will be released “in the future”, but that there are no announcements to share at this time.

“Under most conditions, the battery life should be similar to that of the DualShock 4 wireless controller,” he added.

The PS5 can output resolutions up to 2160p (4K UHD) when connected to a 4K display and is also compatible with 8K displays at launch. It will be able to produce resolutions up to 8K, when the content becomes available, following a future firmware update.

Elsewhere, Sony describes best practices when setting up the console, including placing it at least 10 cm (4 inches) from a wall surface, not placing it on a long-staple carpet or rug, and using a cleaning tool such as a vacuum cleaner to remove dust buildup.

Sony recently announced the November PlayStation Plus games and confirmed that the PS5 version of Bugsnax will be free for subscribers until January 4.

Going forward, PS Plus members will continue to receive “at least two great PS4 games every month,” the FAQ states, adding, “Our goal is to regularly add PS5 games to the monthly game lineup.”

The PS5 release date is November 12 in the US, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea, with the rest of the world getting the console on November 19.

The PS5 is priced at $ 500 / € 500 / £ 450 for the standard edition and $ 400 / € 400 / £ 360 for the digital edition, the only difference between them being the inclusion of a disc player by the first one.
