Over the last few months, more details have emerged about the PS5’s impressive capabilities, such as super-fast loading times thanks to its SSD,<\/a> crisp 8k resolution and confirmed backwards compatibility for the majority of PS4 games.<\/a> Since the latest PS5 showcase, Sony has confirmed that there won’t be a Smart Delivery system<\/a> like Microsoft is offering, but that individual titles such as Marvel’s Avengers will get free upgrades at launch<\/a>.<\/p>\n The PS4 Pro was a decent bridge between last-gen and the next; after only a few years in the wild, the standard PS4 had already been left lagging behind by high-spec PCs. The PS5’s powerful new GPU enables ray tracing <\/a>and puts it on par with PC gaming at long last. The PS5 is also predicated to outsell the Xbox Series X<\/a> by a wide margin, and Sony expects PS5 to sell more units in its first fiscal year than PS4 did.<\/a><\/p>\n The PS4 is still having a record-breaking run. By the end of June 2019, Sony had sold 100 million PS4 consoles<\/a>, though sales have started to decline<\/a> after the PS5 was revealed. PS4 players won’t need to worry, though, as Sony will still be investing in the PS4 for some time.<\/a><\/p>\n The PS5 pre-order fiasco <\/a>continues, as consumers are still struggling to place orders ahead of the Christmas rush. Amazon has also said that some folks won’t receive their PS5 at launch due to high demand,<\/a> but hopefully, you’re not one of those people. What we do know is that there will be more PS5 stock available compared to when PS4 hit shelves.<\/a><\/p>\n The PS5 will have two separate launch dates:<\/a><\/p>\n There are two versions to purchase: the Standard Edition and the Digital Edition. The only material difference between the two consoles is that the Digital Edition doesn’t have a disc drive. <\/p>\n The Standard Edition costs £449.99\/ $499.99\/€499,<\/strong> whereas the Digital Edition costs £359.99\/$399.99\/€399.99<\/strong>, so if you’re not bothered about hoarding discs in the next generation, there is a decent saving to be made.<\/p>\n PS5 accessories will be available to purchase from November 12<\/a>, which includes the DualSense,<\/a> the PS5 HD Camera, a Media Remote and the 3D Wireless Pulse Headset.<\/p>\n Despite the PS5 being a chonky boy<\/a>, mostly because of massive thermals<\/a>, it’s apparently a very quiet console.<\/a> In the latest PS5 breakdown video<\/a>, we got to see some 10Gbps USB Type-A ports, the motherboard, drive and where you can fire in additional storage in the M.2 bay.<\/a><\/p>\n We also know that the PS5 will have Wi-Fi 6 that supports Bluetooth 5.1and SuperSpeed USB, <\/a>which is much faster than its Xbox counterparts. Wi-Fi 6 is the snappier name for 802.11ax, which is capable of (theoretical) transfer speeds of 9.6Gbit\/s. The PS5 will have around 664GB of usable storage space on its SSD,<\/a> so you might still need to juggle things about when choosing what games to install.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/assets.vg247.com\/current\/\/2020\/09\/PS5-prices.jpg\")
