Sony's ninth-generation home console, featuring a custom AMD Zen 2 CPU, RDNA 2 GPU with hardware ray tracing and a high-speed custom NVMe SSD.
The RDNA 2 GPU brings hardware ray tracing, enabling more realistic lighting, shadows and reflections in supported games. The 16 GB of GDDR6 memory gives developers generous headroom for detailed worlds and complex effects. The PlayStation 5 is designed around modern native games for the platform rather than emulation, and its CPU and GPU pairing is sized for the big releases of the current generation.
One of the console's key strengths is its high-speed custom NVMe SSD, offering 825 GB of capacity and noticeably shorter loading times. For those who prefer physical media, the Ultra HD Blu-ray drive runs games from disc and plays films in that format.
The console has no built-in screen and connects to a TV or monitor through its HDMI 2.1 output. Physically, it is an imposing machine: 390 x 260 x 104 mm and 4.5 kg. It needs a dedicated spot near the TV and is not meant to be moved around often.
For connectivity, the PlayStation 5 offers HDMI 2.1, one USB-A 2.0 port, one USB-A 3.1 port, one USB-C 3.1 port and Ethernet for a wired network connection. Wireless options include Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1. Everything runs on PlayStation 5 system software, a proprietary operating system that delivers a consistent experience within a closed ecosystem controlled by Sony.
Ideal for: players who want the big current-generation releases on the living-room TV, with fast loading, ray-traced graphics and the freedom to use both digital games and Ultra HD Blu-ray discs.
