Maximize Your Gaming Experience on PS5 – Boost Your Gameplay Now!

April 16, 2023
If you are the owner of a PlayStation 5, the first thing to do is congratulate yourself. The latest generation machines are sold with a dropper and it is quite a milestone to be able to get hold of one. If you already have it unpacked and want to take advantage of it, we are going to tell you a few tricks to get the most out of PS5.
Although some of them seem quite obvious, they are usually ignored or not known to remain present in the machine’s interface. That is why we suggest that you take a pen and paper and write down the ones that interest you the most. You can also see this article directly once you need it, but we are traditional.
How to transfer your data from PS4 to PS5
Perhaps, after you got a Play Station 5, you got a Play Station 4. If this is the situation, you should know that one of the first things you need to do is to transfer all your games, games and numerous configurations. It is a choice that our PS5 gives you when you start it for the first time, but if you have the desire, you should know that you can do that once you need it.
Just visit:
- Settings
- System>System
- Software
- Data Transfer
There you already choose your PS4 and transfer. We strongly suggest that you do it through a cable, because WIFI can extend the process much longer than desired. The DualSense controller will continue to be in my Top 3 cool things about PS5, not only because of its incredible vibration or its adaptive triggers, but since you can regulate several of its features in the console menu.
In addition, you can also regulate the possibilities of the “old” DualShock 4, which is also compatible with the machine. For that you just have to go to Settings; Accessories; Controls
Now, do you want more space?
If you don’t have enough with the one gigabyte SSD that the console comes with, you can breathe easy. Sony has thought of you and gives you the chance to install an extra hard drive, as well as an SSD.
Mounting it on the machine is very simple, but you have to consider several suggestions from the Japanese manufacturer, such as that the storage has its own cooling. Today there are many hard drives for PS5 that will not give you any problems, but we warn you that they are not an economic whim.
Better graphics or better performance?
Commonly all new generation games ask you if you prefer graphics mode or previous performance mode to start playing. If this alternative tires you and you are very clear about your preferred way of playing, you can skip this step.
If you go to
- Settings
- Game settings
- Game presets
you can choose to automatically start all games in performance mode or resolution mode. Hey, one less problem. No energy waste. As the electricity bill is setting, I think we should check the power settings of all household appliances, including the PlayStation 5.
Sony has thought about the peace of the world – and of our pocket – and has prepared a specific menu for us. This, to adapt the energy consumption of the machine and the controls to our liking. For that go to
- Settings
- System
- Energy saving
Turn off the controller without turning off the console. Quick, easy and effective. Imagine that you have finished playing International Federation of Association Football 22 with your cousin. For the moment you do not need that second Dual Sense turned on. All you have to do to turn off that controller, without having to open tedious menus, is to press the PS button for 10 seconds.
