Along with its stylish spaceship exterior, the PS5 is bringing a lot of cool new features into this generation of gaming.
The DualSense controller alone is packing in a bunch of interesting new features, taking immersion a step forward with its haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, not to mention the welcome addition of a built-in microphone. These are all features that games like Astro’s Playroom, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and Arkane’s Deathloop will be taking full advantage of.
Controller aside, there’s also new emphasis on its Tempest 3D AudioTech, which the PS5’s Pulse 3D wireless headset are built especially for. Developers like Capcom are excited to use spatial sound to emphasize the horror of Resident Evil Village. Now you'll be able to hear a werewolf breathing heavily behind as you run for your life. Lovely.
Beyond the gameplay immersion, there’s also a lot going on under the hood of the PS5 too, like its new cooling system, or its ability to take full advantage of an SSD for improved load times. There’s a lot, so in this video we’re taking a look at seven of the coolest features Sony is bringing to the table with the PlayStation 5.
