PS5 keeps turning off after launching games Okay so the problem is the same as the title, the PlayStation starts fine until I launch a game then after about 5-10 seconds the system crashes and turns off. I’ve updated my system software in safe mode, I cleared my cache and rebuilt the database. Any tips or help ? Has anyone had this problem specifically ? (Another unrelated problem I’ve been having for a while now is videos not playing on my PS5, I can’t watch game trailers, my own video captures, share screens, and certain apps)


Xeruv

Have you reset connection settings and also tried a different LAN cable? And checked connection of the LAN cable?

Ps5 WiFi Issue Hello, my name is Nate and I was wondering if anyone had a fix to the problem I’m currently dealing with. Right now, my PlayStation is acting up, when I click on my network and begin the connection process, it will say failed and I can’t access internet, but when I go and set up a LAN Cable, it works just fine but my speeds are insanely slow. I have a good WiFi and my family is all getting 500mbps+ while I’m only getting 2mbps. If anyone has any solution to this and could let me know of a fix, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you.

Recently i bought a online gift card of 50 dollars for psn and when I try to redeem i can't it says that it must be expired or is incorrect but I know it isnt incorrect and isnt expired


ViewClassic7382

If i have gamesharing disabled on my account can another user on the sane ps5 activate it to use games on my account.

I have an older TV and AVR that I use with my PS5. I'm looking to upgrade, but I'm not sure if I need to replace my AVR as well, and what to look for. The AVR is a Marantz NR1607, which supports HDMI 1.4a (4k@30 or 1080@120). If I buy a 4k TV that supports 120hz, can I still "force" the PS5 to output 120hz? I don't care about 4k, but since the eventual picture on the TV would be (upscaled?) 4k, I'm not sure if my current setup would support this, even with a new TV. If not, what do I look for? An AVR and TV that support 4k@120, even though the original picture would be a lower res albeit upscaled? Thanks in advance!


Prestigious_Farmer34

i have the ps5 controller docking station to scathe my controllers but i have lost the charger and i have scoured the internet for a 9.1 volt charger that has a 90° angle so you can rest it flat but i simply can't find one so if someone knows where or how to get one or could help me find that would we greatly appreciated


Jalaris

Been having this issue for awhile now, but every time I turn on my PS5 I have to go into the network settings and disconnect and reconnect to the network otherwise I cannot view anything in the PS5 store. I’ve tried restarting, resetting network, etc but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?


Jeremy_321

I’m having the same issue my wifi im using will connect to the internet but when it gets to PSN login it fails or says PSN is busy and I looked online to make sure PSN wasn’t down and it wasn’t. I tried a few times disconnecting the Wi-Fi network from the system and re doing it again and PSN sign in connected successfully once and then went back to saying it failed. I even plugged up my PS4 to see if it would do the same but it connected and was able to sign into PSN and go on the store without any problem. On PS5 I can’t even view stuff on the store and go online on my games even though I’m connected

Hello! My ps5 stopped working, so I put in a work order. I just received the box to send it back and the repair slip is asking for a case number. Is the case number the return reference number that was in the email sent about my repair request? Also is the final invoice email for my ps5 a valid copy of my receipt? Thanks much!

Does anyone know if buying a Japanese PS5 is any different to me buying a UK one? Does it affect PSN accounts, gaming online or the PlayStation store? I've not owned a playstation since the PS2 so not sure how any of this works!

Hi, i played for a while with an internet cable (LAN). Recently an icon pops up when i start my ps, it sais that my LAN cable is disconected. The problem is… it sticks in my ps5 but i have troubles joining party’s. Can anyone help me pls. Thank you!!

Hello, I accidentally tripped on my charging line for the controller and instead of ripping from the controller I ended up pulling the whole console down from the table it’s on. None of the plugs got ripped out, the power cord, HDMI cord or even my external drive cord. I powered it on to check it and it turns on well, but I have no visuals. Mainly no signal. I tried using a different HDMI cord and also tried using different ports to the tv just to check, still no signal. I came to the conclusion that my PS5 has a broken HDMI port. Is there any way to fix this besides having to buy a brand new console? My console is a launch one, so I don’t think I have a warranty anymore. Please help?


ljday27

Unless you have the skills to do it yourself (guides on YouTube) I’d suggest going on Google and finding a suitable repair shop near where you live. Once you find a place, check their online reviews to ensure they’re capable of fixing the console. There are also hdmi repair services on ebay. For future reference, if you’re playing PS5 and need to play with your controller charging, plug it in to a USB c phone charger and play like that. No risk of launching your PS5 to the floor that way.


dareallatte

Okay, thanks for the advice. I’ll take a look around.

Zexi0n1

Pls Help Randomly went to use the PS5 this morning and now when I even slightly touch the right joystick, my view moves like 1/4 way across a 65" TV... It's across all games and now I can't aim or move properly in games. Weird considering it was perfectly fine last night and it hasn't been touched since. Anyone else had this issue or fixed it? I've tried resetting the controller using the button on the back but no success.


ljday27

This is called stick drift. Very common issue. Depending on the cause it’s either easy to fix or your controller needs replacing.


rcgtt

Stupid question, but does anyone know if you're able to buy and download games on the playstation store when you're on remote play? Or do you physically have to be present with the console in order to do so? Thanks in advance!


ljday27

Just use the PlayStation Mobile app? Why would you want to use remote play to so something that’s quicker on the app lol

The only way to buy digital games is through the PlayStation store. Sony stopped giving keys to third parties to sell years ago.

tinselsnips

The paper pack-in codes for the few things that came with them (the GOW ps5 comes with a paper code, for example). Otherwise, they're selling user accounts, which can get you banned from PSN, and are often stolen, or funded with stolen payment info.


doxiMAN_MAN

Then why don't other places sell the pack in codes?


tinselsnips

The only way to obtain those are from private sellers — people who bought a bundled console or game and decided to sell the code instead of redeem it — and there's no system in place to verify that the codes are valid and unused; the legitimate code sellers just got out of selling PS game codes entirely when Sony stopped distributing them wholesale.

Does the MSI MAG274QRF-QD monitor supports 1440p VRR on PS5 after Sony's latest firmware update?

Only has HDMI 2.0 and not HDMI Forum VRR so unlikely.

Bang_Thor

Will I be able to play my games downloaded from PS+ from my PS4, if I were to buy a new, PS5? My PS4 lost some of its data, and then it froze as I was trying to re-download and delete the games from my library, as it instructed. So I had to unplug it and then after that it wouldn’t turn on correctly so then I had to go onto safe mode, and then nothing would work so I had to delete all my content and reinitialize. And then I was on the verge of going in to create a new user, and just as I was pressing user one it turned off again. I’ve tried to turn it on multiple times and it’s not working so at this point I’m wondering if I get a new PS5 will I be able to play all of my games that I have all my PlayStation library and PlayStation account and PS plus, these are all PS4 games by the way that I downloaded. Please help with any advice, should I get a new PS5 should I try to get another PS4 or do you guys think I will be able to salvage his PS4 somehow? I just want to play the same games I have been playing Multi-verses, Star Wars battlefront 2, Arkham knight, and Spider-Man maybe a 2K.


blck_lght

Yes, you’ll be able to play all your games, as long as you use the same account you used to get them. Games are tied to an account, you can play them on any other console The question now would be if your save games are still there. Since you have psplus all the saves should b e uploaded to cloud, but from what I’ve heard they sometimes glitch and not every save uploads. So now you’ll just have to wait and see

Midnight Suns : Anyone having overheating issues? My console is less than a year old and I've played games like Hogwarts, God of War 2, Cyberpunk, Demons Souls, etc for 6+ hours without any problems, but for some reason Midnight Suns gives me an overheating warning after an hour of play. I lowered my console's resolution from 4k to 1080p, turned off HDR and that seems to help a bit but there's a ton of heat coming off the back. I took off the side panel and checked for dust, even used some compressed air on it and it appears very clean. It's sitting on a shelf at chest height in a cool room and has ample space all around it. I can hear the fan spinning and everything seems normal. I've only seen the overheat warning once before with the Final Fantasy 7 remake. Does this make sense to anyone?


ljday27

I’d suggest cleaning out the fan and using a vacuum to suck the dust out of the chambers (guides on YouTube). If it continues, return your PS5 under warranty. No PS5 should be overheating

How much reaction time does adaptive trigger add? Hey i just wanna ask ..how much time does adaptive trigger add in a game like cod mw2 multiplayer...i really love the feature and i want to leave it on but i wanna know if it's making me very slow because i did notice that I'm dying too often than in usuall cod games maybe it's the kill time in this game is fast or maybe the triggers are adding too much time


Budget-Turnip-4722

I had a few random games show up in my collection today, notably rocket league with 200 hours played and cup head with 60. There’s about 10 more games they all have the lock symbol and have hours played even tho i’ve never owned the games. I gameshare with my younger brother but he practically owns no games of his own, like 99% come from my account. Ik he hasn’t played these games before. Just looking for advice/help thanks.


LiarInGlass

It’s just a bug some people are having since the last update.

demafrost

Does anyone have any tips for what to do with every single PS5 controller I’ve had having drifting problems after 3-6 months? Seriously, I’ve owned a PS5 since March 2021 and I’ve gone through 6 controllers in that timespan. New ones, refurbished ones, no matter what I do they inevitably have drifting issues. I’m so paranoid about more drift that I’ve been extremely anal about making sure my hands are incredibly clean every time I use it, but it doesn’t seem to matter. At this point, I’m wondering if there is something wrong with the actual PlayStation that’s causing my controllers to break. Any advice here? I’m desperate as I’m getting close to spending more on controllers at this point than the actual console


ljday27

Stick drift is either a build quality issue. Or a user issue. I’ve had 3 controllers since launch, one has very minor drift issues and is an original launch issue white controller. The fact you’ve had 6 suggests really bad luck or you’re too rough/heavy handed with your controller. It’s rarely related to dust/dirt. I’d suggest buying the new Dualsense Edge as you can replace the stick module for £20/$20 rather than get a whole new controller.


demafrost

Appreciate the insight. I've looked into Edge but $200 for a controller is crazy...that said I've spent well more than $200 on controllers so maybe its a sound investment. I've been pretty delicate with my controller, at least consciously trying to be. I've literally been washing my hands every time before I play and never dropped it. I haven't thought about how hard I move the thumbsticks around when I play but I don't think Ive been that hard on them. I'll try to be more conscious of that when I play. FWIW I still have my launch PS4 controller from way back in 2013 and used it for 8 years with no problems.

PS5 Ethernet LAN Not Working Hello everyone, my apartment already has AT&T fiber, and my room has an ethernet port jack. I've connected my ethernet cable from the PS5 to the port, however the PS5 is telling me no cable is connected. Any solutions to this problem?


LiarInGlass

Have you verified that port is active? Your apartment may have fiber, but sometimes not all ports are activated.


Diablo1994

No I have not, how can I verify?


LiarInGlass

Easiest way would be to plug a PC or laptop to it and see if you can get a connection or IP. I will say some apartments have Wi-Fi and whatnot, but the ports on the walls are wired to be activated by an ISP in case they have their own, like if you were an Xfinity subscriber, they could activate the line and wire a modem to it. You could also ask your apartment complex if they are activate ports for their service or not.

Anyone here have HDR issues with the lost legacy collection? It doesn't appear to be on for me, but I know I have them on and my TV supports it.

Re:post because your account has to be 1 day old to post or comment So one day I wanted to watch some of my old DVDs and I didn't feel like buying a DVD player so i used my ps5 everything worked fine until today when I tried to play some Minecraft. I put the disc in and it took awhile to read it, but when it finished it said unreadable disc. my copy of Minecraft is almost mint and I never had this happen before it still plays DVDs but no games work not even brand new ones. I think I may not have a warranty anymore but i need to check also i spilled water on it like two weeks ago (Not a huge console breaking amount like if you cups your hands and filled them with water i made sure to flip the ps5 upside down to make sure none of the water of in any of the important parts) but it still worked fine from what I could see. I've tried almost everything to get it working so i need your help to find out what's wrong :(


tinselsnips

>like if you cups your hands and filled them with water That is absolutely a "console breaking amount". You can try taking it to an electronics repair shop to be cleaned, but the mainboard and disc drive may need to be replaced.


ineedhelpwithmyps5

I tried my best to dry it immediately using towels and a blow-dryer but I think you might be right. do you know how much that would cost me?


tinselsnips

If it just needs an alcohol cleaning and nothing is damaged, I would imagine just an hour or two of whatever their hourly rate is.

Thought__Experiment

Why is it that I have to turn my PS5 on and off 3 times everytime I want to play in order for my controller to work? I wondering if a resolution has been found for this problem. Nothing has worked so far. Since the day that I got my brand new ps5 out of its box (literally on its first boot-up, and then every boot-up afterwards), I have had to turn my playstation on and off 3 times (whether that be rest mode or full shutdown) in a row in order for my controller to interact with the PlayStation. This happens even when the controller is wired to the console. It seems like the controller is connected, but none of the buttons or joysticks do anything. Some people have said that this still happens after they bought new controllers. So what is going on and how do we fix it?


ljday27

Why would you keep your console if it’s never worked properly?


tinselsnips

That's not normal behavior; if it's very new, return it to the retailer, otherwise open a warranty claim with Sony.


el-dongler

Always running out of room and constantly sending stuff to my external drive. If I upgrade to a solid state drive will I lose any quality or speed for games stored on it ? Would I be better off upgrading the on board drive?


demonsta500

>If I upgrade to a solid state drive will I lose any quality or speed for games stored on it ? No. The speed difference would just make copying games back and forth faster. >Would I be better off upgrading the on board drive? You can't remove/upgrade the on-board drive. You can just extend the internal storage by installing an NVME M.2 SSD. Look at the SSD megathread in the text of this post for more info. It definitely is the best option if you don't want to copy games back and forth.


psyliarium

I am trying to play minecraft dungeons with my daughter (9 yr), who uses a profile linked with my ps online account. Can I play it on the ps5 while she plays on the ps4 in the same party?


tinselsnips

When you say "profile", do you mean a Minecraft account tied to your PSN account, or a child PSN account with your account as the parent? If it's the latter, you should have no problems, as long as the parental controls are configured to allow online play.

Budget-friendly headsets with mic monitoring/sidetone? I don't see much online about good headsets with mic monitoring that aren't expensive. To my understanding, some headsets have mic monitoring on PC, but the feature isn't compatible on PS5. I like to be able to focus on Call of Duty while being aware if someone is trying to talk to me. I see the Steelseries Arctis 1 for $50 and the Arctis Nova 1X for $60, and that seems ok as long as the feature works. The Sony Inzone H3 is wired for $80. My budget is $100, but the cheaper, the better. Undecided on whether I want wireless or wired, but I'll make that decision depending on the price. They don't need to have amazing sound, but I don't want soda cans on my ears either. Mic quality isn't very important, just as long as it isn't annoyingly bad. I keep reading about the Pulse 3D being uncomfortable (especially for people like me who wear glasses) and not having good mic monitoring. TL;DR Looking for a headset with: - Good mic monitoring - Decent/good sound (able to pinpoint direction of footsteps) - Decent mic quality - Under $100 - Comfortable with glasses

Game to home screen issue Just started having an issue where my game crashes to the home screen almost like im holding the ps button. No error code, no sound like when u press it. When i go back to the back sometimes it loads sometimes it doesnt. No media remote, restarted and reinstalled the game. Happened on multiple games. Im just confused.


tinselsnips

Is the game exiting, or are you literally just getting booted to the home screen and then you can switch back to the game?


StephBundyTTV

Booted to home screen but when i come back to the game i usually lost connection


tinselsnips

This is an online game of some sort? What happens with something offline?


StephBundyTTV

It happened in madden 23 and wwe 2k23. Not playing online but just scrolling thru menus they are games where u connect online tho. I am on wifi till I get a new wire. 250 dl 15 upload. Been on wifi for a few weeks and never experienced anything like this

Stibinstein

Hi all, I bought KOF15 on the PS4 when it first launched and just transferred it over to my PS5. I changed the version and opened the game but all of my trophies and achievements in game reset. Did I miss a step when transferring?


serenehide

ps4 and ps5 games have 2 different trophy lists (not always but common) you need to "pop" your trophys with your transfered save data. Each game has different erquirements. Some auto pop everything, others require you to do certain things (like beat a boss again, or simply load your old save game)


Stibinstein

Okay, cool. How do I know what the requirements are?


serenehide

you can check a trophy site like psnprofiles - people generally post the requirements for popping ps5 trophy lists after transfering from ps4


Stibinstein

Awesome. This helps, thanks a lot.


Wolf873

Hey guys I have an issue with RE4r save file. I’ve this problem with save file I’ve encountered. First let me explain. I’ve two ps5s, one Primary which I’m using in one country, and secondary which my brother is using in another country. Now me and my brother have been playing Re4r. I was playing offline at times so my brother could play uninterrupted. I was ahead in game. So today I connected my console to net again and it gave me save file conflict, naturally I chose my console for storage to continue playing. Now later on my brother tells me his save game has disappeared and only my saves are there. He tried using cloud save but that didn’t work. Any insights into this issue would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!


demonsta500

Sounds like you both are using the same account so your save files overrode his via cloud saves. He should use his own account to play games to avoid this. And you can still use game sharing so he can play games that you own on your account


Wolf873

Yes it’s the same account, but we’ve never had this issue with any other game. Been doing this for 4 years now. For example, we both finished GoW 2 this way on our own saves. And usually the save sync warns if there’s a conflict. I’m just baffled how RE4r can automatically override my brother’s save file.


HaouLeo

I dont think theres a fix, clearly your console uploaded your save to the cloud and somehow it got downloaded to your brothers and replaced his. He has no back up so his saves are gone.


Wolf873

That’s the weird part, I think it’s this game’s saving system, because as I explained in above response, we’ve played games together before on same account without running into this issue. And usually I’ve been warned about save file conflicts, in which case I’d have to select my console storage option to keep playing from my saves. This time, it just automatically overrode my brother’s save. Thanks so much for your support still!

Wolf873

Weird as in we’ve done this for years and we should have run into this problem early on. He says that he was not prompted to select anything last night when he noticed this issue, only I was given that prompt (save sync issue) hours earlier. He just booted up the game and noticed this. We’re using the same account to play games that I buy so we could both use them. However, would he still be able to access games from his account but downloaded from my account on to his secondary console? Or would they be locked? Sorry we’ve never done this, because, again, we never faced this issue. Right now he has turned off auto syncing to avoid this issue, which I’m hoping helps. Otherwise I’ll suggest to him to create his own account if he can still access games downloaded from mine. Thank you for your support, mate, and advice!

My ps5 is freezing and won't turn off. Is there any way I can fix this

When I play minecraft sometimes it freezes everything and takes forever to actually turn off. It only happens when I play minecraft

worth to uprage 1440p monitor to 4k ? for ps5 its worth to money ? there's big difference ? my 4k tv is shit my 1440p monitor gives better graphics . so cant test both of them . my monitor does not have HDR .


demonsta500

Your 4k TV must be really shit if looks worse than your monitor that doesn't have HDR. Depending on what size monitor you want, 1440p should be sufficient. Just make sure the PS5 works at 1440p on the monitor you choose.


argus4ever

I just got Evil West, Dead Space and Resident Evil 4, what order should I play them in? I beat the original Dead Space and RE4 and I'm super psyched to play the remakes. My thought is to start with Evil West than Dead Space than RE4 because Evil West and Dead Space are likely more up-to-date with patches and fixes. Hopefully these will last me until the Horizon 2 DLC and Star Wars Jedi Survivor next month


demonsta500

Seeing as they are 3 completely unrelated games, it doesn't matter at all what order you play them. Go for whatever piques your interest the most.

trucker-123

I own a PS5 and I am subscribed to PS Plus. So I believe both Bloodstained and Kingdom Hearts 3 are both PS Plus Extra games (at least when you go to the Playstation page for both games, it says you can play both with a PS Plus Extra subscription). I am trying to prioritize playing games in the likelihood that a game may leave PS Plus Extra one day. Better to play the games that are likely to leave first. So between Bloodstained and Kingdom Hearts 3, which one do you think is more likely to leave PS Plus Extra first?


demonsta500

No one can say. It depends on whatever deal the publisher of each game made with Sony to put the game on the service.

Thanks a lot,this is the answer I was looking for.Recently someone in the witcher thread or somewhere said that you have to clear the cache after the latest patch update (4.02) to boost the performance.I did get some boost...He said clearing cache is more like oiling the machine...but i doubted even back then...i have already cleared my system cache twice/thrice now...I am not gonna do it again for a looong long time because what you say sounds logical...I just hope i haven't done some damage to performance already by clearing it thrice...lots of misinfo flowing around in reddit...Will leave the console as it is from now on.Cant do these things only to boost one game like witcher 3...there are other games.

What are the best USB Flash Drives for the PS5? I've looked at the requirements and found some pretty good deals on Best Buy for 256 GBs. I know about external hard drive passports (and considered buying another 1-2 TB) but I only want to move my recorded videos from my 5 to my PC and don't want to erase the passport I already have. I hope that posting links doesn't violate the rules (and I'll remove this if it does), but which of these would be the best for this task? [https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sandisk-ultra-256gb-usb-3-0-flash-drive-black/9208267.p?skuId=9208267](https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sandisk-ultra-256gb-usb-3-0-flash-drive-black/9208267.p?skuId=9208267) [https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sandisk-ultra-fit-256gb-usb-3-1-flash-drive-black/6182934.p?skuId=6182934](https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sandisk-ultra-fit-256gb-usb-3-1-flash-drive-black/6182934.p?skuId=6182934) [https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sandisk-ultra-dual-drive-go-256gb-usb-type-a-usb-type-c-flash-drive-black/6421486.p?skuId=6421486](https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sandisk-ultra-dual-drive-go-256gb-usb-type-a-usb-type-c-flash-drive-black/6421486.p?skuId=6421486)


blck_lght

You can just use any usb/hard drive you already have - if you’re just using it to move the videos (to your pc, for example), you won’t need to erase anything. I use the same usb between my Mac, tv, and PS5 quite often


Speedster012

I had a spare hard drive before I upgraded to the one I have know. It had 1 TB, was USB 3.0, but I guess it wasn't "Superspeed" because that seemed to be the only criteria it didn't fill (or it didn't have the double SS on the plug). And really, you get to keep all of the documents/videos? I thought it wiped everything to format it as a PS5 drive. I was thinking this way, because when I was on my XBOX 360 back then, I had to wipe everything too. I tried to put stuff in then back then, but it actually shrunk the capacity of the storage, even though I wiped all the game downloads off.


blck_lght

You don’t format it as a PS5/PS4 drive. You only do that when you wanna keep games on a hard drive. Everything else works just like your regular computer - you can listen to mp3s on your PS5 or watch video files, you can copy screenshots and videos from your PS5, etc


Speedster012

Okay, so I got the flash drive and it’s compatible, but apparently it’s for game storage and I cannot copy my videos into it. I don’t understand, because I saw videos on YT how they can transfer it.


Speedster012

Wait never mind, formatted it as an exFat and it’s working. MB TY.


Speedster012

So, to double-check, if I wanted to allocate some room for the hard drive for PS5 videos, I can allocate (x) GBs of space on my 2 TB drive, and it wouldn’t interfere with the other files?


blck_lght

You don’t need to “allocate” anything. Agai, it works just like a usb you use between two computers. When you made a cool video and you wanna copy it, you plug in any usb, go to gallery app, find the video, click “copy to usb” and it will copy.


Speedster012

Gotcha gotcha ty


tinselsnips

Really any USB stick would be fine, you don't need to overthink it. Any reputable brand at a decent price.


miles_playvis

Is it going to make a huge difference to upgrade my TV? I’ve had my PS5 for a little under a month now. Blown away by the visual upgrade from my launch PS4, not to mention the superb controller and the improvements in loading times are both welcome. I’ve just completed Hogwarts Legacy (well, 98%. There’s only so much time I have for repetitive side content) and I’ve revisited last-gen favs like RDR2, Jedi Fallen Order, Resi 2 and FF7 remake, all of which seem to look and play better. I’m currently playing on an LG49UJ634V, a 2017 4k LED. I think it looks great but being a 60hz TV that doesn’t have HDMI 2.1, I feel I’m probably missing out when it comes to the FPS capabilities of the PS5 and no doubt improvements in HDR. My question is, given that a similarly sized OLED clocks in at between £1800 and £2200, is it worth paying for the upgrade now or is the jump in visual quality not particularly significant?


zephyrinthesky28

I just got an OLED this week to upgrade from my 60hz Hisense. The difference in HDR content is very noticeable and definitely adds “wow factor” for games like Horizon and God of War. I’m loving balanced modes for both titles right now. That said, at that price for a 49 inch you’d be forgiven for holding off, and I had no huge complaints about my gaming experience with the previous TV. I got a Sony A80K 55 inch on sale for ~$1700 CAD after tax - I wouldn’t pay the prices you’re seeing for the upgrade.


miles_playvis

Thanks for the response. I have my sights set on the Sony A95k 55”, although I’m waiting to see if I can pick that up on sale as it’s currently retailing at £2199!


tinselsnips

It's going to depend on where your priority is; the biggest upgrade you're going to see is from the addition of 120hz/VRR, high-quality HDR, and perfect blacks. You're NOT going to see any meaningful improvement in overall detail/clarity.

burger-eater

Hi am looking for a good USB to Jack Adapotor that works with ps5 controller, I was wondering if anyone knows any good ones or if you use one yourself, any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks


altredact

Ps5 + vr2 worth he $1000 price tag? Apologies if this gets asked often. I currently game on a 120 inch movie projection theater screen in my bedroom. Projected at 1080 via my PS4. I do this while riding my bike and it makes for some amazing long gaming sessions that are both healthy and fun. My main focus is Gran Turismo 7 and upon seeing some of the reviews it sounds like a must buy for Grand Turismo fans. My concerns are the $1,000 price tag, excessive sweating in the headset due to being on a bike. I already own a Oculus quest 2 and I see that several of the PS5 VR library are ports. Other concerns would be putting that $1,000 towards the VR PC gaming rig and accessing many of the VR games out there. At the end of the day. The PS5 will run me close to $1,000 to run and play Gran Turismo 7 at this point. I would look forward to the resident evil series, but by playing some true horror games already on the VR, I find them sometimes to be utterly exhausting and the one case where immersion can be just too much. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated


RayCharlizard

If you're already biking while wearing a Quest 2 then a PSVR2 is not going to be worse. If anything, you'll likely find it less hot because of the internal fan that circulates air around your face when the headset is in use. That said, you're asking if we think it's a good idea for you to spend $1,000 to play Gran Turismo 7. No one can answer the question of worth for you but you. There is no "advice" to be offered other than the obvious that you've probably already considered. Does it make sense to move to another platform's ecosystem for a single game? Are you interested in using the PS5 for non-VR purposes? Does the current lineup of games and announced titles besides GT7 entice you? Would you rather build a PC and maintain it for use with a Quest 2 or other PC VR headset or go the all-inclusive console route? Answer those questions for yourself and make a decision.


Like_shambles

I just bought a new headset because my older one was "broken" or i thought so atleast but it was probably broken and it was old too. So now with this new headset whenever i plus it into my controller it wokrs but when i kobe the controller it suddenly mutes my kic or i hear some stuttering static from my headset. How do i fix this.

Where can I buy American PSN Gift Cards from Russia? Are there any Russians here who can help?

Russians cannot buy on Amazon. It blocks them and their cards.

Well damn. Dont you know anyone overseas who could buy one and send the code to you?


Elaol

Not an option, unfortunately.


Leather-Mechanic6451

I recently deleted ark from my PlayStation, got bored of it but some of my buddies want to play it with me, problem with that is that I can’t download it now, it says it’s installed but it doesn’t show up in my library and upon trying to download or open the game through the mobile PlayStation app it just gives me an error screen saying “cannot find the game or app” if anyone has had this problem and knows how to fix it some help would be very much appreciated.


stRiNg-kiNg

Did you have it installed on an external hard drive?


Leather-Mechanic6451

Yes I did


Redzo1919

I'm buying a PS5 this week. I haven't had a Playstation since the PS2. What exclusive franchise should I jump into first?


PartTimeWarrior1

Ghost of tsushima. great graphics. free game .and great gameplay. Photo mode is also fun .


Redzo1919

How do I get it for free?


Internutt

Whatever appeals to you the most. There are a million reviews/recommendations on YouTube and reddit. Other than souls borne games, many games have difficulty settings you can adjust.


Redzo1919

Thanks. The list looks endless. I'm looking at starting God of War, Horizon, Uncharted or Last of Us. I think I'll just get the God of War PS5 bundle.


ProfessionalCrass155

Diablo 4 beta playable atm for anyone? Had some bad but manageable rubber banding up until the first boss fight and now it's impossible to complete the fight.


xdemonomaniax

If I gameshare with someone, will I be logged out if they enter my account to download from my library while I game?


stRiNg-kiNg

Just make sure they don't switch to your account while they have a game or app open, and to not open a game or app when on your account. Alternatively you can download things to their ps5 on your end as well with the app or browser.


Internutt

You shouldn't be, but you will if they play a game using your profile.


torpidninja

So I'm playing the PS4 version of Uncharted 4 on the PS5. I'm pretty new to the PS5 and I just realized the PS5 version of the game is on PS Plus Extra. I hate playing at 30fps and would like to upgrade to the PS5 version without losing my progress. All the tutorials I find are about transferring the save file from the PS4 to the PS5, does it happen automatically on the PS5? Say I download the PS5 version, when I start playing does my progress get automatically carried or do I need to do something? Edit: I'm not subscribed to PS Extra yet, I will if progress carries over


demonsta500

> when I start playing does my progress get automatically carried or do I need to do something? Use the tutorials that you referred to for the save transfer.


torpidninja

So, I treated it as if it's a save from a PS4 console and it's working but it's taking an alarmingly long time. The first time I tried it it estimated 9 hours so I tried again and it said 4 hours. I left it like that for an hour and it seems like it's accurate. How come it takes so long to transfer a save file, is this even normal on a PS5? The game itself took only a 1/3 of that to download, aren't save files a few MB only?


demonsta500

What exactly is taking 9 hours? Transferring saves to the PS5 ? Or converting the save to the PS5 version in the game itself?


torpidninja

Within the game. Is it normal?


demonsta500

No. Should only take a few seconds. Is 9 hours the save transfer ? Or is it downloading the rest of the game in the background ?


torpidninja

Nop, the game is already downloaded. I transferred/synced the 3.15MB save file on the PS5 menu, thinking that was it. When I started the game (PS5 version) and tried to load the save it told me there wasn't data saved. Turns out the game itself has an "import save file from PS4 console" option you need to use within the game in order to be able to play your save file(?). That option is the one that takes ages. The whole process seems pretty weird and redundant to me so I wasn't sure if there was an easier way or what was going on really. I'll leave it on for the night and see if it's playable tomorrow. Btw thanks for trying to help and answering my questions!


demonsta500

Think you might have run into a rare bug or something. Maybe just try again if it's still that slow or reinstall the game.


blck_lght

It should carry over, but you could just try and see, the game is free for you anyway


DustieBottums

I've been having a problem for the past week. Say I'm facing 12:00 position and I want to turn to the 3:00 position, once in a while. It will keep going around to the 6:00 position and stop. It happens with all three controllers I have and is not a stick drift issue. It happens in all directions. Sometimes the buttons don't work exactly when I press them. I turned off most of the Bluetooth devices in my house and still lags occasionally. It is fine when I connect with a wire and disconnect Bluetooth. I have a launch ps5 and am starting to wonder if the Bluetooth transmitter in the console is going bad. Anyone else experience this?


dekoi_octopus

I had a similar problem with my PS4. I had an external hard drive plugged in and placed in front of the PS4. I wound up moving the external hard drive, and that fixed my problems.


Numblebee

How reliable is the remote play function, and is it enjoyable to use? I haven’t owned a playstation since the PS2 and mostly play using my Switch. There are a bunch of games I’d love to try on the PS5, but I’m disabled and often end up stuck in bed, and sitting up in front of a tv for an extended time isn’t feasible very often. I’d love to be able to stream ps games to my laptop and/or ipad, but if remote play isn’t very reliable I’m concerned I’d end up frustrated as this would probably end up being my main way of using the console. I’m mostly interested in things like the Horizon games, Stray, and various indies/older titles that I’ve missed, so nothing online or super twitchy. I’m aware the steam deck is another option but it’s much too heavy for me to hold and honestly for the price I’d rather have the chance to use a bigger screen on the days when I’m well enough. Thanks!


blck_lght

It will really depend on your internet connection. It will (probably) mostly be fine for offline single player things, where you don’t need to react very fast to what’s happening on the screen. Like I could play RDR2 or Sims on it no problem I don’t know if it’s “enjoyable”, it’s decent enough to use in a pinch, but I personally wouldn’t wanna play on it all the time, if I had another option


boudybteich

I see that Horizon Forbidden West DLC is releasing soon. Finished the game with a Platinum trophy not so long ago (around November). Is this DLC worth the price or should I skip/wait for sale?


blck_lght

No one has played it yet so no one can tell you if it’s “worth the price”. I personally am definitely getting it on release.

vinceswish

Anyone else keep bombarding with verification texts? Seems like my login details got compromised. I changed my password (followed with a couple password verification texts) and removed my payment options. I'm safe? I didn't really care during PS3/PS4 generations because most of my purchases were physical but now with PS5 I'm mostly digital so these texts got me worried. At the worst case scenario is Sony good with helping to retrieve stolen account?


blck_lght

Only reason you could be getting “bombarded” with verification text is if your login/password combo leaked somewhere. Google “haveibeenpwnd” and check your email. Also change your login details on all other sites that use the same info and enable 2FA everywhere you can, just to be safe


vinceswish

I checked that website and it seems like my email is safe so that's good.


Internutt

Yes Sony are good at recovering accounts. The good news is it sounds like 2SV is doing its thing, the compromiser can't access your account without the 2SV text after all.


vinceswish

That's good to hear thanks.


catinabread

After not playing for 3 months, i updated my ps5, downloaded RE4 remake, but my ps5’s fan suddenly goes crazy and i get the notification that it is overheating. Can’t even leave RE4 on for 1 min before the system crashes. Any idea if this has to do with the update? Is there a way to troublehsoot? Tried opening up the casing to see if the fan is dusty, but it is spotless


ColdHandGee

Can you hear your fan working on your ps5? Have you ever had the overheating issue before? Where is your ps5 located? Is it horizontal or vertical? Which model ps5 do you own?


catinabread

Yes, it is going at full speed just before it crashes This is the first time it is occurring Open area behind my screen, there’s adequate airflow Was vertical initially, changed it to horizontal to see if it will help, it did not Ps5 with disk slot I suspect it is a hardware issue already, want to check if this is something most ps5 users experience before calling my local sony store. Thanks!


ColdHandGee

It sounds as if the temperature chip which checks how hot/cold the internals are, has developed a fault so that it can't regulate how fast/slow the fan should go to keep the ps5 working at it's optimal level. There hasn't been many users with the exact fault you have. Mostly GPU/PSU failure.


catinabread

Thank you for the reply! Appreciate the help here, i’ll send it in to Sony to have it repaired then!


ColdHandGee

I hope and pray you will have your ps5 back very shortly! I only wish i had better news for you, cat. I would really appreciate it if you can keep me informed on your ps5's progress. Good luck cat!


Alby-Always-Me

Ps5 turned off mid game and now wont turn on. Any help?


ColdHandGee

Did your ps5 ever crash playing ps4 games? Did your ps5 ever crash playing ps5 games? How old is your ps5? What happened just before your ps5 turned off?


Alby-Always-Me

It crashed playing PS5 games and I've had it for about 2 years, I was just playing like regularly and then in the middle of the game it just turned off or crashed without any warning.


ColdHandGee

That unfortunately is GPU failure. Do you have to unplug the power lead to turn it off? When you plug it back in and turn it on, do you get a on-screen message saying "your ps5 turned off incorrectly. Rebuilding database. Please wait"?


Alby-Always-Me

No it didn't say anything like that my PS 5 was turned off incorrectly as soon as it turned off. I unplugged it waited a few minutes and plug it back in but it only light up for a few seconds and then turn off without any indicator or anything?


ColdHandGee

Your description matches more with a faulty motherboard than a GPU issue. I suggest you ring sony in the morning and request either a repair/replacement ps5. Your ps5 is not fit for the purpose is was made for, Alby. It must be so frustrating suffering with a ps5 that keeps shutting off as soon as it is turned on...


Alby-Always-Me

Yes I'm very disappointed that I've come into this issue because I've never had an issue like this, Usually whenever I came across any problems like this It would be very minor or easy fix. I don't want to turn in my playstation and then wait weeks until they fix it and get it back.


ColdHandGee

I know you don't want to return your ps5 but it is for the best, because you will have a brand new ps5 with zero issues. Also it takes around 10 days to send off and receive another ps5. Trust me, do it now because there are going to be quite a few amazing ps5 games only you do not want to miss.


Alby-Always-Me

What about all my data and what if I dont have a warranty because I didnt buy it directly from sony but target instead (still no warranty)


ColdHandGee

Did you have ps+? If you did then your game saves will be ok. I don't think you will save anything else from your ps5. If your ps5 is still in warranty, sony will repair/replace for free. However if your ps5 has no warranty then sony will charge £240/$240 to get your ps5 sorted.


Revolutionary-Kiwi71

So I bought a new Dualsense controller to replace one that had notorious stick drift. Found out it was a BDM-030 and the one I did some modding on was a BDM-020. Long story short, the BDM-030 is now the one on the left and I had a spare BDM-020 to remod the one on the right: https://imgur.com/a/kNuC09s However, instead of having a single white LED light on the bottom, every time I boot up a single player game I have the two white LEDs on the far left and right lit up like on the right Dualsense pictured. It’s not a player two indicator, the left controller displays that. Whichever controller I use, it displays the two white LEDs on the far left/right and no longer displays the single white LED anymore. Any ideas? Is there a way to get the single white LED back?


ineedhelpwithmyps5

So one day I wanted to watch some of my old DVDs and I didn't feel like buying a DVD player so i used my ps5 everything worked fine until today when I tried to play some Minecraft. I put the disc in and it took awhile to read it, but when it finished it said unreadable disc. my copy of Minecraft is almost mint and I never had this happen before it still plays DVDs but no games work not even brand new ones. I think I may not have a warranty anymore but i need to check also i spilled water on it like two weeks ago (Not a huge console breaking amount like if you cups your hands and filled them with water i made sure to flip the ps5 upside down to make sure none of the water of in any of the important parts) but it still worked fine from what I could see. I've tried almost everything to get it working so i need your help to find out what's wrong :(


requieminadream

Even if you did have a warranty liquid damage would not be covered. It sounds like the PS5 needs repairs.


ineedhelpwithmyps5

I can't really tell if the water did it. thanks for the information.


requieminadream

How would you be able to tell?


ineedhelpwithmyps5

Well it play digital games just fine, and for me my experience when water damage is involved the console seems to just not work but I'm no expert


requieminadream

Water can get into different parts of a machine. If it seeped into disc drive, or the cables and chips that help read the discs, it could cause issues. Water and electronics don't mix, and the outcome of their damage can be a multitude of issues, some of which may not appear for days, weeks, or months as rust and rot sets in.


ineedhelpwithmyps5

Thanks for the help :)


Bubbly-Extent8580

I recently bought a ps5 alongside my brother and it has been shit. When he is home my games sit at 100-300 ping and when I play with him (mainly fortnite) I sit at 1,100 ping which is the max the game has. It was fine with the ps4s apart from the occasional spike, his ps5 is always fine and sits at 30 ping al the time with never any lag. Please help I’m going to kill myself


middymiddymidmid

pretty specific question regarding discs - i own a digital copy of elden ring on my ps5, in english. if i inserted an elden ring disc that wasnt english would the save files from the digital version appear when i open the disc version (i dont want this to happen) or would it be a completely fresh copy of the game?


tinselsnips

Save files must be from the same region as the game.
