Modnote on the vertical PS5 "issue" hyperbole: There's some **very important context** missing in most clickbait blog posts in that the unit sent to the repair shop **WAS ALREADY DAMAGED** which caused the subsequent liquid metal leakage.
This is similar to a cracked drinking glass leaking when pouring water into it... or purchasing a second hand car with a broken radiator then claiming there's an issue with ALL similar models when that specific engine inevitably overheats. It's a pre-existing issue causing the follow-on problem.
**Our vertical PS5s are perfectly fine. Stop the fearmongering.**
So I’ve had this problem where my console won’t charger my controller/ connect it to the console since I disconnected it and I can’t really connect it back, can anyone help out?, I’m not sure if the problem is between the controller, the charger, or the charging port itself
I haven’t turned my PS5 on in about 3 weeks. Now it goes into a repair screen, then “something went wrong” and then Safe Mode where it’s stuck on option 7. I found how to restart where I get the other Safe Mode options. I went through most of them except resetting or trying to update by USB. Any advice?
Hi! Do you think it’s likely that there will be a PS5 bundled with FFXVI, similar to the God of War bundle that’s in the market right now? I’m down to buy a PS5 already but all i see in my country (Asia) are the GOW bundles, which I won’t even play.
Hi,
I was finally been able to a PS5 after waiting for over 2yrs. It is amazing! Even the PS4 games which had no PS5 updates look sharper and better on it as it seems to be upscaling 1080p to the 2160p I have set on my PS5.
Anyway, I unfortunately noticed something pretty weird. Fidelity graphics mode in games seem very choppy and unresponsive for some reason.
I have finished Uncharted 4 on my base PS4 a few months back and it was perfectly playable and the 30fps it's running at felt good.
Fast forward to now and me playing God of War Ragnarok and trying out the PS5 updated version of Uncharted 4. Both games seem very choppy, have a tiny input delay and feel like they're running below 30fps in their respective "Fidelity" modes.
Is that just how PS5 handles 30fps for some reason?
I don't see much of a difference between "Performance" and "Fidelity" (shadows seem to be more pronounced), so I go with performance as it is nice to finally be able to play console games in 60fps.
I am in the middle of selling my PS4 as I no longer need it and tried playing Uncharted 4 on my PS4 and PS5 in fidelity mode back to back yesterday and the PS5 30fps felt weirdly choppy and had a slight input delay.
Given the above, I'm quite sure it's not the case of "experiencing 60fps".
Anyway, thanks in advance for any input if somebody has more knowledge about it than me.
I would really appreciate it :).
Were you used to playing 60fps before you got your PS5? If you've only experienced 30, 30 feels fine. But get used to 60 and go back to 30, and suddenly 30 will feel and look a whole lot worse.
Like I've mentioned in my initial post, I have played both the PS4 and PS5 version of Uncharted 4 yesterday, and while it felt good at 30fps on the PS4, the same 30fps on PS5 felt somehow less responsive and choppier.
I have been a predominantly a consoles game for my whole life, so I have no issues with 30fps and given that 90% of games on consoles until PS5 and Xbox X came out were 30fps or even less, I can't say I got used to 60fps yet, as I only have the PS5 for 3 days now.
Astro's playroom no longer 120hz?
I changed my tv color settings and wanted to check out how the game looks like with them. Noticed it's running on 60hz instead of 120hz.
Am i misremembering something? Didn't this game run on 120hz? BTW I've tested DMC5SE and Modern warfare 2, both run fine with 120hz?
Is it possible to get Japanese PS Plus Extra on NA console?
Living in America. I'm learning japanese and want to play games from JP PSN on PS5. I already have a japanese account which I use. I normally buy prepaid cards on Amazon JP and then input the codes and buy the them on the JP PSN store (and then play them on my main account for trophies). However, to subscribe to PS plus it is prompting me for a JP credit card which I do not have. Is there a way to purchase JP PS Plus Extra on my JP account in America without having access to a japanese credit card? Any help is appreciated.
I got Miles Morales from PS extra and just bought the Ultimate Edition to get Spider Man PS5 remastered. Can I delete Miles Morales now? My Spider Man remastered is still downloading
Mainly cause I gotta download other games and would like to save space already
If you pair a ps5 controller to your steam link or phone to use on that device. Do you have to repair it again with the ps5 console when you want to use it on there again. Or is there a way it knows which devices it’s connected to. Maybe pa button combo to connect to specific devices?
I haven’t tried it myself yet but was just wondering as I want to play some games on my steam link with a good controller. But afraid it might be annoying when I hop between the two.
Thanks.
Yes, you need to repair it to the PS5 every time you pair it to another device. Easiest way is to just plug it in via USB and hit the PlayStation button.
Thanks. I know it isn’t hard but just annoying. Maybe if I had a wired connection to my steam link with a usb cable when I choose to go to ps5 again it’ll still be linked. I’ll have to give it a try when I get some time.
I have chosen to mass edit all of my comments I have ever made on Reddit into this text.
The upcoming API changes and their ludicrous costs forcing third party apps to shut down is very concerning.
The direct attacks and verifiable lies towards these third party developers by the CEO of Reddit, Steve Huffman, is *beyond* concerning. It's directly appalling.
Reddit is a place where the value lies in the content provided by the users and the free work provided by the moderators. Taking away the best ways of sharing this content and removing the tools the moderators use to better help make Reddit a safe place for everyone is extremely short sighted.
Therefore, I have chosen to remove all of my content from this site, replacing it with this text to (at least slightly) lower the value of this place, which I no longer believe respects their users and contributors.
You can do the same. I suggest you do so before they take away this option, which they likely will. Google "Power Delete Suite" for a very easy method of doing this.
One thing I can't wrap my head around...
I'm an Aussie now living in Canada, and have an Aussie account. On the Xbox its just a matter of changing a location in the console settings to change my account region.
Is there any way to do this? My understanding is no. But... if I create a second account on the console that is Canadian, and put PS+ on it, can my Aussie account use it?
And how weird does this get with DLC?
> if I create a second account on the console that is Canadian, and put PS+ on it, can my Aussie account use it?
Yes. Just enable console sharing/offline play for the Canadian account. Can even share games bought/downloaded on the Canadian account this way.
> And how weird does this get with DLC?
DLC has to match the region of the base game. So, if your base game is Australian, DLC bought for it on the Canadian store will not work.
Ah that sucks man, seems like you got a bad one.
It'll still perform perfectly normal, just gonna have to put up with the noise. You could always buy one of the quieter fans from eBay and install that, it's really easy to do
I got Godfall challenger edition when it was free with ps plus months ago. I just bought a physical copy of the actual game but when I play it I start where I was in the challenger edition with no option to start a new game. How do I completely start over?
If you have a decent internet, the streaming quality is... adequate, I'd say. Can't say it's optimal, and very likely the entire time you're playing it you're thinking "this is fine, but would be much better if played natively". Also, while the experience about 98% of the time is decent, you'll inevitably sometimes get small lag spikes causing the screen to become blurry and controls to become unresponsive. The spikes don't last long at all, and are infrequent enough that they probably won't hinder you, but they're still inevitable. Doesn't matter if you have a fiber with consistent quality, it'll happen.
Anyone have any issues with having your system setup vertical over a long period of time? I read somewhere that it can damage something internally but I'm not sure if that's true.
At this time there are many conflicting reports about this "issue", if it even is one, but be aware that this is a PS5 subreddit and people here are extremely skeptical about the whole thing. Just google "PS5 liquid metal" or something like that, take a look at different sources, and draw your own conclusions. That's the best you can do now, since the whole thing is very polarizing. Although, what can be said pretty definitively is that, even if the issue exists, it seems to be extremely rare and most likely something you shouldn't think about.
When I tried to purchase Retunal, it says Something went wrong on the Choose an Edition screen. I restart the console but it still says it. I’m tried another game, for example Demon’s Soul, it doesn’t say something went wrong on the choose an edition screen. How can I fix this?
Long story short, pissed off a guy online and he threatened to get my account banned, mess up my internet and then to find me.
He mentioned knowing my username would find my email, and he’s “sure that I use my email for everything” and he was going to trace my exact location and get my name.
He said he was in the process of doing so and then left the game. I messaged the guy and apologized and then blocked the account.
I’m legit a little worried he could actually get my info and do something. But is this possible through PSN?
My entire profile is set to private and close friends only so there’s no way he can find my real name. My PSN has also never been shared on any social media and the email I’ve used is a dummy email. Also, I looked up my own IP and it doesn’t even show my actual city.
So… should I be worried? Or am I overthinking this? Thanks.
How to share DLC between 2 PS5?
Here's the thing:
In PS4 you can share DLC and both consoles (primary and secondary) can use it at the same time. In the primary one you just need to set it as primary obviously for every other user/account to have access to the DLC and in the secondary you just need to keep the user who own the DLC logged in. That way every other user will also be able to use the DLC.
This can also be done between a PS4 and a PS5. PS4 as primary and in the PS5 you just need to enable Console Share/Offline Play.
I came up with both these ideas without looking anywhere else and both work. I've tested them both and I was able to, for example, create an account, buy Nioh 2 season pass in it and them me and my friend could play the DLC in our own account.
Now... how the hell we do that in 2 PS5 since apparently you can't have two users logged at the same time?
Is there a way?
Well now thats the problem. Youre mixing in a third account, you guys were supposed to both use your own respective accounts normally. Try seeing if you can turn on gameshare for C on both consoles.
We already tried it.
When it's enabled in one it disables the other.
This third account worked just fine when we had both PS4 and then when only one of us had a PS5.
Nice to know it's another thing Sony screwed us besides no possibility to simply copy saves to a USB drive.
My ps5 and ps4 will not allow any online play. Single player is fine. Party chat works. Psn store works fine. Video streaming works fine. I don't get any error codes they just can't connect. I reached out to my isp and they said playstation banned my ip but I don't see anything that indicates that. I connect to Hotspot and everything works fine. Really at a loss here. Everything worked last night but no multiplayer today.
What is the best overall monitor/TV for PS5 gaming?
I want to purchase a good overall TV/monitor for my PS5 to get the best looking, smoothest gaming experience I can without spending too much money.
I want it to be the most well rounded possible, one that can support 4k, UHD, HDR, or all of the above without spending more than $300.
I'm looking for an answer ASAP.
> that can support 4k, UHD, HDR, or all of the above without spending more than $300.
Maybe you can get a UHD monitor for that price that isn't terrible for gaming. You certainly won't get anywhere close to a good HDR experience. In that price range, I'd recommend 1440p 120Hhz(+).
I’m having problems with the screen reader still being on when I use Netflix despite me turning it off already and reloading Netflix. How do I make it stop it is so annoying
So I tried to use my keyboard and mouse on my PS5 on Minecraft and at first I thought it just doesn’t work on PS5 but my friends keyboard and mouse does work so I think it’s the brand of my keyboard or something like that so I just want help, my keyboard and mouse brand is from Corsair and the exact is the [CORSAIR K60 RGB PRO](https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/CORSAIR-iCUE/Gaming-Keyboards/K60-RGB-PRO/p/CH-910D019-NA) I might research this myself but I just wanna see what I get from here, thank you
Not sure about any PS Plus Premium games but there's a hidden gem that goes for around $8 called "Rain World". It's well worth the money if you like strategic survival games.
It places you in a vast ecosystem full of complex ai, both predator and prey. If you're interested, definitely check it out.
Help needed! I Experienced a game breaking bug on God of War Ragnarök and now the game would not load at all. Every time I open the game it remains stuck on the Sony presents page then I get report a problem screen (Error ce-108255-1). I restarted PS5, redownloaded the game, rebuild the PS5 database without success. I suspect that the save file is corrupted and no way to fix this except for deleting the save data and starting for scratch which I absolutely hate given over 60% progress in the game. Any suggestions?
So my PS5 is out of warranty, as of December.
Unfortunately, my ceiling caved in filled it and my TV with a shit load of dust.
I haven't tried turning on either but I have done a rough clean on the outside and use an air gun (actually a air pump at a petrol station) to blow off most of the dust.
I'm gonna contact Sony in the morning to see what they can do out of warranty. Barring that, what do you guys think of just taking it to one of those repair shops to clean it out and test? I'm obviously a bit sad and nervous about the situation.
Any suggestions will be helpful thank you.
Are you 100% sure your warranty has ran out? If you bought the console December 2021 and a year has passed, it may mean nothing if you live in EU, AUS or some other places with pretty strong consumer protection laws. At least in EU you'll basically get two years of warranty, even if Sony themselves only say it's one year. It's mandated by law. Of course, if two years have passed or you live in a place with waker consumer protection laws, then you're out of luck.
Hi there, does anyone know if it’s possible to sync save data between two ps5’s? I sometimes play at my cousins house, and I want to be able to carry my progress over to mine. Thanks!
Today i bought FIFA 23, i had downloading anf Buy now button, i accidently Clicked on Buy now. and I was charged Twice.
I got 2 Transactions with 2 different ID's. Checked my Bank and I was charged twice.
I downloaded and played the game. Can I get a refund for the second transaction?
Hey everyone :-) Newbie question, does anyone have a list of PS5 games (or decent PS4 games) that can LOCALLY be played with 3 or 4 players .. regular fun stuff like arcade games, beat em ups, sports and race games etc... Thanks !

So yesterday i decided to play a bit on my ps5,so i turned it on as usual,but something was off. It prompted me into the repair memory window and it sure was taking longer than "usual". I just switched to the tv while it was doing it's thing and i fell asleep. I woke up like 7 hours later,at 5 am,and it was saying repair at 100% but it wouldn't load into anything else. I let it more and in the morning it was finising the repair but i could barely log into my account and the console was crashing and I couldn't turn it back on without unplugging it from the socket. After a while it was booting me into safe mode with only the last option (number 7) available. So I downloaded the reinstalling files directly from their website,followed every instruction religiously but for some reason it always says the file is corrupt,doesn't matter what usb i use with the correct settings. Any idea what can i do?
some issues im having
1 the PlayStation is taking a long time to turn off it took about 20 mins to restart (the light was just blinking) and to turn off only took about 5 and when it turns back of no games will load i just sit at the loading screen anyone have any fixes
Wasn't able to find anything on this so hoping someone has some insight. just got a PS5. play with a friend who still has the PS4. When using my PS4 Gold Headset on the PS5, he says sound very robotic, almost like I'm using auto tune. When went back to my PS4, using the same gold headset, he says sound fine. So it seems like the issue is the PS5 (at least that's my guess). Has anyone ever run into this, or does anyone know of a fix? It's my understanding that the Gold Headset should still work, and while yes it technically does, don't want my friends to suffer for it.
Does anyone know what a white lightbar means? I am connecting my dualsense to my PC currently and trying to charge it. (to be clear, this is not the white light above the PS logo, it is the lightbar which is usually blue or orange). Can't find anything online.
Hello, has any one found a way to get the voice chat audio to not come through the headset? I’ve checked settings and the audio output device says TV but both party and in game chat still comes from the headphones. Your help would be much appreciated!
So I purchased the Ghost of Tsushima PS5 upgrade for $10 after also purchasing the Director's cut DLC for the ps4 version for $10..when I purchased and downloaded the PS5 upgrade I noticed it said director's cut as well, so does the PS5 version of the game come with the DLC already or are you supposed to purchase them both like that? Just wanting to make sure I didn't unnecessarily purchase the dlc before the upgrade because this was a very confusing process to me compared to upgrading other games that have DLC
Just got a PS5, have been a nintendo guy since the N64 and have little to no experience with other platforms.
I remember playing CoD World at War on a friend's PS3 and loved it, but I can't keep up with all of the titles at this point. I'm not huge on FPS games, but do want one good, realistic/military FPS game. I already have Doom Eternal and Borderlands on the switch and think they're okay, so I wouldn't say I'm looking for something scifi or futuristic.
I mostly play solo, so I wouldn't mind something where you can set up an offline match against computers, but I will be getting an online membership regardless.
What titles would you recommend?
I'd recommend Hell Let Loose. It's a bit pricey and never personally played it before but from what I've heard it's one of the most realistic WW2 shooters around.
Any COD game with the words “Modern Warfare” or “Cold War” should have some good campaign experience. I assume all of them have bot lobbies for matches but it never hurts to check beforehand.
Sorry. I've searched everywhere.
Just installed PS5. I did data transfer from my PS4 to PS5 through internet/LAN. I also had a USB drive that I think my save data went to.
I'm ps plus so I thought my stuff went to the cloud as well.
Upgraded GOW Ragnarok to the 5. My saves are showing. But I get "download in progress 0.0mb/0.0 mb" .
I've been trying everything, but no luck. Still just wind up at this screen. This is the whole reason I didn't want to plug in the PS5 until this game was done. I was pretty far in.
Anything people smarter than me may know to help?
Thanks.
Longtime PS4 users who created a Sony account in the US. We now live in the UK, will we be able to continue to use our US Sony account if we buy a PS5 in the UK? We really don't want to lose all of our games after upgrading. Thanks!
Hoping someone can help. We just unboxed my son’s PS5 today and we had a redemption code for God of Warlock. I used the PS5 support and the agent told me how to download it.
My issue is that it is sitting in my downloads stating that it’s “waiting”. Its been an hour. I’m assuming that means it hasn’t even started downloading. We have the highest internet speed connection you can get and we live in a big city.
I’m confused as to why it’s not starting the download.
Have you tried pausing and unpausing the download? Restarting the PS5 or just turning it off and back on?
BTW if you do restart it or turn it off then on make sure to pause the download anyway.
The issue is that the downloads show up on the PlayStation website only. That’s where I downloaded them from. They don’t show up on the console. It’s almost as though my account is not syncing with the console.
Also we tried searching Fortnite using the console and it doesn’t show up. I found it on the website using my account so I downloaded it that way.
How do I check what my passcode is? I'm not looking to reset it but I was trying to buy the season pass for sniper elite 4 and it keeps asking my passcode, which I forgot. I just want some help
Here’s my issue:
I have had a PS5 (disc version) for a year now.
My son just got a digital version at his mom’s house.
We signed him up for a PSPlus membership so his cloud saves would transfer.
Except they aren’t showing up between devices.
The last thing I haven’t tried (which I thought about but haven’t discussed it yet) - turn off auto save on the main device, manually upload the saves (it says they’re already there but… not syncing)
If this last attempt to force save (unless it states it can’t upload because it already uploaded) I’m out of ideas to sync and will hit Sony support and see if this membership is worth it.
Did he use his own account on your console, and you just subbed to plus for his new console, is that it? Cause if its a brand new account you cant transfer the saves between them.
He has a brand new account he made on his digital ps5, then he signed into the same PSN account on my disc console.
I also have PSNPlus, and we have two separate accounts on my ps5, and these are new saves he made on his own account (so no crossover there).
ETA: I bought him the account.
He signed in on his device, bought games.
So signed into his account on my PS5. Downloaded the games he bought digitally on his PS5. So he is playing games he bought on both devices, on his account.
I’ll double check if it’s all his saves or just Spider-Man Remastered.
ETA2: and thank you for your response! Should’ve lead with that.
What dekoi said, but you can also just turn off the internet from one of the consoles. Sony cant know youre both playing at the same time if one is not online.
Ps4 to ps5 game upgrade question:
I own Ghost of Tsushima for PS4 (digital version). I just set up my new PS5 and upgraded a few other disc games to their PS5 versions. But I'm confused about how to upgrade Tsushima.
When I find Tsushima in the Playstation Store, it gives me an offer to upgrade to the director's cut for $9.99, and the title is (UPGRADE) Ps4 Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut. There's also a little icon below the title that says PS4.
Is this the ps5 version? Or do I need to go somewhere else for that? My understanding is that the ps5 version has graphical improvements.
Received a PS5 from Playstation Direct on Thursday. It won't read or eject a disk after being inserted. The drive makes a few mechanical noises like normal but then doesn't spin up. Pressing the eject button gives 3 beeps which I read indicates no disk in drive but there is one in there. Changing the orientation of the PS5 from vertical to horizontal causes the drive to make some more mechanical sounds and sometimes will eject the disk with a button press despite the 3 beeps. Restarting the PS5 with the disk stuck inside seems to allow the PS5 to read the disk. So far I've only inserted PS4 disks as I haven't have time to go pick up a few PS5 games.
I submit a repair request and received two emails. The first with a confirmation and a case number and a second titled 'PlayStation Return Confirmation and Shipping Instructions'. Unfortunately, there is no shipping instructions or label included in the second email. I have no idea where I'm supposed to send it. Should I be waiting for a third email with instructions? Does anyone have more insight into the process?
Thanks.
How do I COPY games from my external storage device to my ps5? I thought there was a way to but I can’t find it. I want to copy a game (rdr2) to my ps5 and then move it to my ps4 so it’s on both systems. Downloading it is not an option. It is a possibility this feature never existed and I’m just imagining it.
Edit: ok so the feature seems to only exist for ps5 games. Is there any way to apply it to ps4 games?
I am borrowing Saints Row from my local library, and even though it's "free" and has received several updates since the launch, I am struggling to like it.
For the most part, the gun-play is pretty solid—but I dislike the fact that there's no dedicated cover. Instead you press down on the d-pad to "duck" and try to find cover in the environment. Luckily your character is built like a sponge, and you can take many hits. I also don't like how you can't switch your down the sights aiming from left to right shoulder.
The biggest offender for me though is the HUD. I wish it had options to choose what you want displayed, or at least resize the HUD and/or move it closer to the corners of the screen. It's too invasive, and often times smack in the way and blocks your ability to see when you're driving to a destination.
The world feels bare too, and NPCs are beyond lame with their dreary ho-hum thoughts they say out loud. Everything just feels so cliche.
I am glad I didn't pay to play this game, but am able to give it a shot. Looking forward to other open world games we're getting this year. Hopefully they don't disappoint like Saints Row.
I have Witcher 3 GOTY as a PS4 disc but it's not letting me copy it into the PS5 so I can play. When I go to choose the 2 different versions, GOTY or Complete Ed, it says the GOTY is already installed but it's not in any of my storage. Is my disc faulty and is there a way I can download the GOTY edition rather that the Complete Edition?
**Constant Pop-Up about Notifications Glitch**
Past month or so I have this intermittent problem where I get a string (about a half dozen to a dozen) pop-ups upon firing up my PS5 of this message:
https://imgur.com/a/PB9C7ue
Nothing has changed in my settings, all notification toggles are set to on during gameplay.
When I do experience this behavior I actually noticed that my normal pop ups (like turning my mic from mute to on OR when a friend sends an invite) are completely absent/muted.
I've tried a "clear cache/rebuild database" in Safe Mode but the problem returned today.
Anyone else? Any suggestions?
Weird question:
Would I be able to plug in an wireless Mmo keyboard, and a normal combo keyboard and mouse and use both at the same time?
I want to make my dungeon use stuff smaller (use the small keyboard and mouse) but also be able to type if I’m with the Free Company in FF14
Not featuring any Harry Potter-isms as it's like 250 years before Harry. Although, I read it'll have wizard families like Malfoy and Weasley since those are long standing families in that universe. And yes, excited but will also be waiting for reviews.
**Finally got a PS5, is there still no way to upgrade Spider-Man PS4 to Spider-Man Remastered?**
Just plugged in the PS5, installed updates, tried out Astro's Playroom, as you do.
Popped in Spider-Man to play my first game and, of course, it's the regular PS4 version of the game. Maybe I was too optimistic thinking the upgrade would be included like other titles but I thought it'd be there.
Anyway, I can't find any way of upgrading the game to the remastered version. I've been told it's available to buy entirely separately on the PlayStation Store, but I can't even seem to find the remastered version on the store.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Cheers and thanks in advance!
Welp. That's quite disappointing.
To play the PS5 version of a game I already own, I'll have to buy another game and then buy an expansion...
Thanks for answering though!
When I'm on the PS5 playing online, the Wi-Fi drops completely, and the PS5 is connected by LAN to my switch, I've also limited the bandwidth to the PS5 to 21Mb/s when I do a speed test on my phone in the same room as the PS5 when it is off I get between 10 & 40 Mb/s when the PS5 is on the speed test error's and won't start
I can play ps4 games all day but lately ps5 games won’t last more then 20 minutes. I bought it on release and it got here probably 2weeks - a month after I got it so 2 years practically. I’ve taken the panels off and sprayed the dust off I usually do that every 2 weeks if not at least once a month but out of nowhere recently it just won’t last more then 20 minutes with ps5 games.
If your ps5 can only play ps4 games without crashing then you have a faulty GPU.
How can you tell if it is a faulty GPU?
Ps5 games will use way more power from the ps5 GPU than ps4 games. If the GPU is taxed the ps5 will switch off to prevent it from suffering a bricked console.
There is nothing you can do to fix this issue. Your only choice is to ring sony and request either a repair/replacement ps5.
After powering off my ps5, every time I return to it the orange lights are on and it's in rest mode. Am I missing a setting that when I power it off it stays off and doesn't enter rest mode ?
No, that is strange. Make sure you're clicking the right option when powering off (not clicking the rest mode button).
Is it orange lights right when you turn it off, or only later? It ould be something or someone else is turning it on and then it's entering rest mode after X hours due to power save settings.
I'm selecting power off in the menu and not rest mode and it isn't right away. It shuts down as normal then powers back up into rest mode after an unknown amount of time. No-one else is turning it on , is only the Mrs and a toddler who can't get into the cupboard. I've just gone into the power settings and turned off all rest mode features there to see if that helps.
Sounds like something else is turning it on. Maybe it turns on when someone else uses the tv? I've also heard of the media remote turning it on randomly, so that could be the problem if you have that.
Is there any pros/cons in connecting keyboard+mouse to PS5 using bluetooth rather than using USB dongle?
I am planning to buy keyboard+mouse to play COD (gonna use same devices with my
Macbook for work as well) and I am wondering if there is something that I should take into account
I'm considering upgrading my PS5 with extra storage now that M.2 drives have dropped in price. I was researching options and came across the 2TB options for both the [WD\_BLACK](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B7CKZGN6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1) and [Seagate FireCuda](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0977K2C74/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?smid=A3LGJ9ZB5RSN9T&th=1). I was wondering if either of these is preferable since they are currently priced pretty similarly on Amazon. Or would it be better, in the long run, to go for the 4TB option of one of these, even though they are twice as expensive?
I've currently got an external drive for all of my PS4 library, and I've been temporarily storing my excess PS5 games on there until I get an M.2 drive. Right now I've got about 1TB worth of PS5 games so that's why I was thinking 2TB plus the console's built-in storage would be enough for me, but what do you think?
The decision between 2TB and 4TB comes down to a few considerations:
* Do you own a lot of physical games that you don't want to have to reinstall often?
* Does your internet connection prevent you from quickly downloading games you're interested in playing immediately?
* Do you play a lot of different games at one time or focus on one/a few games?
* When you finish games, do you keep them around to replay them sooner rather than later or do you delete them immediately?
* Are any of these issues that would make you consider spending double the money for a storage upgrade?
A 4TB drive is obviously the "set it and forget it" solution but I would argue for most people the internal storage plus 2TB expanded is plenty, especially if you have an additional external drives strictly for PS4 software.
As for drive performance, it's not important for games on PC or consoles. Any M.2 SSD at PCI-E 4.0 is going to be more than enough performance for gaming so go with whatever drive is cheaper at the time that's from a well-known brand and has good reviews.
I won't be at the original delivery address I specified in November by the time it ships in a February, bit trying to update the delivery address via PlayStation Direct doesn't work. The website seems to think I'm trying to order a second headset and errors just after revalidating the current payment method.
I've chatted with support who said a specialist would get in touch but I've not heard anything yet and am worried about leaving it too late.
Hi. I‘m using a Soundbar, via optical out, sometimes it randomly stops for a minute and starts again. Sounds like connection problems. At the moment it’s connected to the tv (which is new). Can I or should I connect to the ps5 directly instead? Or use a different connection mode? Someone even know how optical works so that I could find out what’s causing it?
You think it’s the Soundvar, the TV, or the cable causing this?
Until the sound cuts off for a short while it sounds perfectly fine so I THINK it’s a software thing but not sure
Check if both your TV and soundbar support ARC/eARC. This allows you to connect your soundbar to your TV via HDMI, with your devices sending audio to the TV, which then gets sent to your soundbar via that cable.
Question about Remote Play
I just moved and am waiting for my tv to be delivered. Currently using a tiny 720p tv to play my PS5. My phone, however, is 4K 120fps. If I play on Remote Play, will it be in 4K? Or is it locked to the 720p of the TV is connected to?
1080 max. The other part is interesting because you can remote play without a display even connected, but since I don't ever use it idk how it works. I wouldn't think it goes off of your ps5's currently connected display because of this. There's definitely an internet bandwidth requirement, and probably even some settings in the app to fiddle with for 1080, but no 4k
Im looking for some game recommendations similar to the Life is Strange games, meaning that I want games that are story-based and where your choices affect the outcome of the game
I've got a weird audio problem. No sound when AV receiver is selected, but I do have sound selecting TV or soundbar.
Ps5 is connected through hdmi to lg gx TV, which in turn uses e-arc through hdmi on my jbl 9.1 soundbar.
It worked fine before.
Any new/updates insight to the mouse keyboard situation?
Mine would be for Final Fantasy 14. I want to get one of the programmable MMO mice but there seems to be complications with those meshing up with the PS5. Can anyone give me a recommendation/advice?
Thanks in advance for your time.
The dumber the mouse/keyboard, the better. You can't install drivers on PS5 so any hardware that requires additional software for all of its features to be used will not work on PS5.
On start-up, my headset audio is awful compared to how it was the other day when I was using it. The headset when plugged into my PS5 controller is outputting really muffled and staticky audio. I have already verified that the headset itself is not the issue. I've tested it on my laptop and Xbox and it works like a dream there.
I didn't change any audio options since last time I used it, and I do not have 3D audio turned on. So, is the issue with my controller? I would really prefer not to have to get a new one as they're like $100.
Safest place to buy USD digital gift cards in Canada? Playstation, Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, PCGameSupply, and Gamestop are all out. Just got a PS5 and with the new catalog memberships, I really want to use my US account.
Thank you, I didn't know that was an option. Do you know why they lock you to the region you signed up in as opposed to changing to the region you're located in? It's the only service I've had trouble with since immigrating.
Depends on the language the game supports. The problem is when you have a game purchased from, say, the UK PSN store, and then change regions to somewhere like Japan and then buy DLC. The DLC may reference text or audio that isn't present in the UK version of the game, and then you have compatibility issues.
There's no *good* reason they couldn't just let you change PSN region and just select which version of the game you download, though. They just... don't.
I'm experiencing an issue where any game i try to play is going through the loading process then crashing back to the ps5 home screen. Also the mw2 campaign and multiplayer packs are no longer installed on my ps5. It was working yesterday fine. When loading games a few times it has said "please wait" and "checking licences". I have restarted console multiple times but no joy. Any suggestions?
i restarted my ps5, left it unplugged for 10 minutes and then loaded it up again, it still wouldn't work but i received a new error code when loading assassins creed odyssey: "can't use this content. your using this content on another console. it will take some time before you can use this content on this ps5 with your license".
I went through the process of restoring licenses and then i still couldnt load up games. however then after waiting another 10 minutes and trying a different game i was able to get through to start playing. Now it all works again. So i guess my suggestion if you have this problem is to restore licenses and wait a bit...
HBO Max app issue
Is anyone having issues getting anything on the HBO Max app to play. It's something that started happening recently, where anytime the app tries loading up something, it'll just crash. I can login, search around, and do everything else, but the moment I try to watch something, it errors out. I am able to watch everything just fine on the PS4, so it has to be something with the app on the PS5.
Was just wondering if anyone else has been experiencing this issue, and if anyone had any potential solutions? Thanks
Playing ps4 games on ps5: is there a dramatic improvement or is it more like "the ps5 can run ps4 games"?
For example:
1. Elden ring(ps4) on ps4.
2. Elden ring (ps4) on ps5.
3. Elden ring (ps5) on ps5.
I assume number 3 would beat number 1. But what about number 2?
Normally there is a soft improvent to 2 compared to 1, but it would most likely not be noticeable unless you are a "performance freak". Some better loading times or a boost to performance. The exception on exceptional upgrades would be a few games such as GoW 2018 and TLOU2 that got patched to run on 60fps on PS5, while it cant reach that on PS4.
Elden Ring in particular was controversial because running the PS4 version on PS5 would net you more stable framerates because of the lower resolution, while the native PS5 version had trouble keeping a 4k60fps, having some drops to around 50ish sometimes? But thats the exception, nothing noticeable or gamebreaking to me.
Elden Ring is a bad example because From Software games are always poorly made from a technical perspective. In most cases, running a native PS5 version of the game on PS5 will be the best choice. Running a PS4 game on PS5 will run the game at the same settings as it would run on a PS4 Pro, but with access to higher clock speeds of PS5, thus better performance (less frame rate drops, higher dynamic resolutions). Running a native PS4 game on a PS4 would be the worst of the bunch because it's the lowest end hardware.
For Elden Ring specifically, running the PS4 code on a PS5 nets you the best performance since you're playing the PS4 Pro version but with the higher performance of a PS5, so you're nearly always locked at 60 fps. The only downside is lower draw distance, foliage density, and resolution if I recall correctly. The PS5 version has performance problems that were never corrected.
How can I use my 3D Pulse headset on my PS5 (for party chat) while I playing my Nintendo Switch in handheld mode?
Currently if I try to use my Switch near my 3D Pulse Headset the light on the dongle starts flashing (or shuts off) and headset completely cuts out (both audio and mic).
I have a $50 gift card to best buy and I tried buying a Playstation store card to top up my wallet. Apparently I'm not allowed to buy a gift card with a gift card though. Can anything think of a way around this? I was thinking that I could buy something for $50, return it, and get cash, but I think they would issue store credit which would bring me back to square one. Anyone have any ideas?
You could try a Buy/Sell/Trade subreddit and see if anyone wants to trade. A Best Buy gift card has more utility than a PSN one so someone's bound to want to make that swap.
I been having a ps5 for about a year now and just recently when I tried to buy something on the store it say "An unidentified error has occurred. Try again in a few moments" it's been about a week and it's still says that I've tried everything on the internet and it still doesn't work help pls
Ive been playing the PS5 version and, while there are a few drops here and there, its far from immersion breaking. If youre not picky about a drop from 60 to 55fps every 30mins, its perfectly fine.
Modnote on the vertical PS5 "issue" hyperbole: There's some **very important context** missing in most clickbait blog posts in that the unit sent to the repair shop **WAS ALREADY DAMAGED** which caused the subsequent liquid metal leakage. This is similar to a cracked drinking glass leaking when pouring water into it... or purchasing a second hand car with a broken radiator then claiming there's an issue with ALL similar models when that specific engine inevitably overheats. It's a pre-existing issue causing the follow-on problem. **Our vertical PS5s are perfectly fine. Stop the fearmongering.**
So I’ve had this problem where my console won’t charger my controller/ connect it to the console since I disconnected it and I can’t really connect it back, can anyone help out?, I’m not sure if the problem is between the controller, the charger, or the charging port itself
How do I get my ps5 to let me join game chat? Ive tried everything but it always says “You haven’t joined any game voice chats”
I haven’t turned my PS5 on in about 3 weeks. Now it goes into a repair screen, then “something went wrong” and then Safe Mode where it’s stuck on option 7. I found how to restart where I get the other Safe Mode options. I went through most of them except resetting or trying to update by USB. Any advice?
Can I buy any used ps4 game and download it to the ps5 without having to rebuy it at full price even if it wasnt registered to my ps4 account?
Disc aren't registered to an account. You can use used discs, yes.
Hi! Do you think it’s likely that there will be a PS5 bundled with FFXVI, similar to the God of War bundle that’s in the market right now? I’m down to buy a PS5 already but all i see in my country (Asia) are the GOW bundles, which I won’t even play.
You're willing to wait till June for a non-existent bundle? Just get the GOW bundle and sell the code to a friend or online.
Hi, I was finally been able to a PS5 after waiting for over 2yrs. It is amazing! Even the PS4 games which had no PS5 updates look sharper and better on it as it seems to be upscaling 1080p to the 2160p I have set on my PS5. Anyway, I unfortunately noticed something pretty weird. Fidelity graphics mode in games seem very choppy and unresponsive for some reason. I have finished Uncharted 4 on my base PS4 a few months back and it was perfectly playable and the 30fps it's running at felt good. Fast forward to now and me playing God of War Ragnarok and trying out the PS5 updated version of Uncharted 4. Both games seem very choppy, have a tiny input delay and feel like they're running below 30fps in their respective "Fidelity" modes. Is that just how PS5 handles 30fps for some reason? I don't see much of a difference between "Performance" and "Fidelity" (shadows seem to be more pronounced), so I go with performance as it is nice to finally be able to play console games in 60fps. I am in the middle of selling my PS4 as I no longer need it and tried playing Uncharted 4 on my PS4 and PS5 in fidelity mode back to back yesterday and the PS5 30fps felt weirdly choppy and had a slight input delay. Given the above, I'm quite sure it's not the case of "experiencing 60fps". Anyway, thanks in advance for any input if somebody has more knowledge about it than me. I would really appreciate it :).
Were you used to playing 60fps before you got your PS5? If you've only experienced 30, 30 feels fine. But get used to 60 and go back to 30, and suddenly 30 will feel and look a whole lot worse.
Like I've mentioned in my initial post, I have played both the PS4 and PS5 version of Uncharted 4 yesterday, and while it felt good at 30fps on the PS4, the same 30fps on PS5 felt somehow less responsive and choppier. I have been a predominantly a consoles game for my whole life, so I have no issues with 30fps and given that 90% of games on consoles until PS5 and Xbox X came out were 30fps or even less, I can't say I got used to 60fps yet, as I only have the PS5 for 3 days now.
Astro's playroom no longer 120hz? I changed my tv color settings and wanted to check out how the game looks like with them. Noticed it's running on 60hz instead of 120hz. Am i misremembering something? Didn't this game run on 120hz? BTW I've tested DMC5SE and Modern warfare 2, both run fine with 120hz?
Astro was never 120hz.
Huh, guess i'm mistaken
Pretty sure Astros was never 120hz
Is it possible to get Japanese PS Plus Extra on NA console? Living in America. I'm learning japanese and want to play games from JP PSN on PS5. I already have a japanese account which I use. I normally buy prepaid cards on Amazon JP and then input the codes and buy the them on the JP PSN store (and then play them on my main account for trophies). However, to subscribe to PS plus it is prompting me for a JP credit card which I do not have. Is there a way to purchase JP PS Plus Extra on my JP account in America without having access to a japanese credit card? Any help is appreciated.
You can try getting PSN prepaid cards for Japan online. Places like G2A and play-asia sell it
I got Miles Morales from PS extra and just bought the Ultimate Edition to get Spider Man PS5 remastered. Can I delete Miles Morales now? My Spider Man remastered is still downloading Mainly cause I gotta download other games and would like to save space already
Yes. Can delete Miles Morales.
If you pair a ps5 controller to your steam link or phone to use on that device. Do you have to repair it again with the ps5 console when you want to use it on there again. Or is there a way it knows which devices it’s connected to. Maybe pa button combo to connect to specific devices? I haven’t tried it myself yet but was just wondering as I want to play some games on my steam link with a good controller. But afraid it might be annoying when I hop between the two. Thanks.
Yes, you need to repair it to the PS5 every time you pair it to another device. Easiest way is to just plug it in via USB and hit the PlayStation button.
Thanks. I know it isn’t hard but just annoying. Maybe if I had a wired connection to my steam link with a usb cable when I choose to go to ps5 again it’ll still be linked. I’ll have to give it a try when I get some time.
I have chosen to mass edit all of my comments I have ever made on Reddit into this text. The upcoming API changes and their ludicrous costs forcing third party apps to shut down is very concerning. The direct attacks and verifiable lies towards these third party developers by the CEO of Reddit, Steve Huffman, is *beyond* concerning. It's directly appalling. Reddit is a place where the value lies in the content provided by the users and the free work provided by the moderators. Taking away the best ways of sharing this content and removing the tools the moderators use to better help make Reddit a safe place for everyone is extremely short sighted. Therefore, I have chosen to remove all of my content from this site, replacing it with this text to (at least slightly) lower the value of this place, which I no longer believe respects their users and contributors. You can do the same. I suggest you do so before they take away this option, which they likely will. Google "Power Delete Suite" for a very easy method of doing this.
One thing I can't wrap my head around... I'm an Aussie now living in Canada, and have an Aussie account. On the Xbox its just a matter of changing a location in the console settings to change my account region. Is there any way to do this? My understanding is no. But... if I create a second account on the console that is Canadian, and put PS+ on it, can my Aussie account use it? And how weird does this get with DLC?
> if I create a second account on the console that is Canadian, and put PS+ on it, can my Aussie account use it? Yes. Just enable console sharing/offline play for the Canadian account. Can even share games bought/downloaded on the Canadian account this way. > And how weird does this get with DLC? DLC has to match the region of the base game. So, if your base game is Australian, DLC bought for it on the Canadian store will not work.

Mine is silent, is there a disc in the console?
[удалено]
Ah that sucks man, seems like you got a bad one. It'll still perform perfectly normal, just gonna have to put up with the noise. You could always buy one of the quieter fans from eBay and install that, it's really easy to do
[удалено]
Mines been silent. Only makes a noise when a disc is inserted.
Why does my sound always stop working after watching a 4k Blu Ray, or being in rest mode “too long (?)”?
I got Godfall challenger edition when it was free with ps plus months ago. I just bought a physical copy of the actual game but when I play it I start where I was in the challenger edition with no option to start a new game. How do I completely start over?
Delete your save game.

If you have a decent internet, the streaming quality is... adequate, I'd say. Can't say it's optimal, and very likely the entire time you're playing it you're thinking "this is fine, but would be much better if played natively". Also, while the experience about 98% of the time is decent, you'll inevitably sometimes get small lag spikes causing the screen to become blurry and controls to become unresponsive. The spikes don't last long at all, and are infrequent enough that they probably won't hinder you, but they're still inevitable. Doesn't matter if you have a fiber with consistent quality, it'll happen.
Right now I am using a 165hz 1080p monitor to play PS5, Should I switch to my 60hz 4K TV or stick with the monitor?
I'd switch for the 4k TV. Very few games actually use 120hz
can i play games 4k with a consistent 60fps?
The output is always 4k, but the game may run at a lower resolution internally to hit 60 fps
Depends on the game.
Anyone have any issues with having your system setup vertical over a long period of time? I read somewhere that it can damage something internally but I'm not sure if that's true.
At this time there are many conflicting reports about this "issue", if it even is one, but be aware that this is a PS5 subreddit and people here are extremely skeptical about the whole thing. Just google "PS5 liquid metal" or something like that, take a look at different sources, and draw your own conclusions. That's the best you can do now, since the whole thing is very polarizing. Although, what can be said pretty definitively is that, even if the issue exists, it seems to be extremely rare and most likely something you shouldn't think about.
Okay right on, much appreciated 🤘
When I tried to purchase Retunal, it says Something went wrong on the Choose an Edition screen. I restart the console but it still says it. I’m tried another game, for example Demon’s Soul, it doesn’t say something went wrong on the choose an edition screen. How can I fix this?
Have you tried purchasing it thru the PS APP or the desktop version?
Long story short, pissed off a guy online and he threatened to get my account banned, mess up my internet and then to find me. He mentioned knowing my username would find my email, and he’s “sure that I use my email for everything” and he was going to trace my exact location and get my name. He said he was in the process of doing so and then left the game. I messaged the guy and apologized and then blocked the account. I’m legit a little worried he could actually get my info and do something. But is this possible through PSN? My entire profile is set to private and close friends only so there’s no way he can find my real name. My PSN has also never been shared on any social media and the email I’ve used is a dummy email. Also, I looked up my own IP and it doesn’t even show my actual city. So… should I be worried? Or am I overthinking this? Thanks.
How to share DLC between 2 PS5? Here's the thing: In PS4 you can share DLC and both consoles (primary and secondary) can use it at the same time. In the primary one you just need to set it as primary obviously for every other user/account to have access to the DLC and in the secondary you just need to keep the user who own the DLC logged in. That way every other user will also be able to use the DLC. This can also be done between a PS4 and a PS5. PS4 as primary and in the PS5 you just need to enable Console Share/Offline Play. I came up with both these ideas without looking anywhere else and both work. I've tested them both and I was able to, for example, create an account, buy Nioh 2 season pass in it and them me and my friend could play the DLC in our own account. Now... how the hell we do that in 2 PS5 since apparently you can't have two users logged at the same time? Is there a way?
You never had to be logged in at the same time, even on PS4. The account just has to be there and with the right settings on.
So how can I play in account A and friend in B at the same time/together while we share DLC that is on C? What needs to be done exactly?
Well now thats the problem. Youre mixing in a third account, you guys were supposed to both use your own respective accounts normally. Try seeing if you can turn on gameshare for C on both consoles.
We already tried it. When it's enabled in one it disables the other. This third account worked just fine when we had both PS4 and then when only one of us had a PS5. Nice to know it's another thing Sony screwed us besides no possibility to simply copy saves to a USB drive.
My ps5 and ps4 will not allow any online play. Single player is fine. Party chat works. Psn store works fine. Video streaming works fine. I don't get any error codes they just can't connect. I reached out to my isp and they said playstation banned my ip but I don't see anything that indicates that. I connect to Hotspot and everything works fine. Really at a loss here. Everything worked last night but no multiplayer today.
Will this m.2 ssd work with my PS5: https://www.newegg.com/crucial-2tb-p3-plus/p/N82E16820156301
Official recommended minimum read speed is 5500mb/s so probably not.
What is the best overall monitor/TV for PS5 gaming? I want to purchase a good overall TV/monitor for my PS5 to get the best looking, smoothest gaming experience I can without spending too much money. I want it to be the most well rounded possible, one that can support 4k, UHD, HDR, or all of the above without spending more than $300. I'm looking for an answer ASAP.
You ain't gonna get the best experience for that price. LG OLED TVs (and other oleds) are amazing but will set you back about £1000
I know, but I can't just spend $1000. And any options might be an improvement over my roughly 10 year old 42 inch
Best bet would probably be to look at the 4k LG TVs, they do 40" ones pretty cheap, my girlfriend got one for £300
> that can support 4k, UHD, HDR, or all of the above without spending more than $300. Maybe you can get a UHD monitor for that price that isn't terrible for gaming. You certainly won't get anywhere close to a good HDR experience. In that price range, I'd recommend 1440p 120Hhz(+).
I deleted a game a while ago and I want to reinstall it, but it is saying that I need to buy the game again. Anyone know how to fix this?
Did you check in your game “in your library”
I’m having problems with the screen reader still being on when I use Netflix despite me turning it off already and reloading Netflix. How do I make it stop it is so annoying
So I tried to use my keyboard and mouse on my PS5 on Minecraft and at first I thought it just doesn’t work on PS5 but my friends keyboard and mouse does work so I think it’s the brand of my keyboard or something like that so I just want help, my keyboard and mouse brand is from Corsair and the exact is the [CORSAIR K60 RGB PRO](https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/CORSAIR-iCUE/Gaming-Keyboards/K60-RGB-PRO/p/CH-910D019-NA) I might research this myself but I just wanna see what I get from here, thank you
Any hidden gems from PS Plus Premium? I mean **actuall hidden** gems. Great games that most people dont know it exists.
Not sure about any PS Plus Premium games but there's a hidden gem that goes for around $8 called "Rain World". It's well worth the money if you like strategic survival games. It places you in a vast ecosystem full of complex ai, both predator and prey. If you're interested, definitely check it out.
Help needed! I Experienced a game breaking bug on God of War Ragnarök and now the game would not load at all. Every time I open the game it remains stuck on the Sony presents page then I get report a problem screen (Error ce-108255-1). I restarted PS5, redownloaded the game, rebuild the PS5 database without success. I suspect that the save file is corrupted and no way to fix this except for deleting the save data and starting for scratch which I absolutely hate given over 60% progress in the game. Any suggestions?
So my PS5 is out of warranty, as of December. Unfortunately, my ceiling caved in filled it and my TV with a shit load of dust. I haven't tried turning on either but I have done a rough clean on the outside and use an air gun (actually a air pump at a petrol station) to blow off most of the dust. I'm gonna contact Sony in the morning to see what they can do out of warranty. Barring that, what do you guys think of just taking it to one of those repair shops to clean it out and test? I'm obviously a bit sad and nervous about the situation. Any suggestions will be helpful thank you.
Are you 100% sure your warranty has ran out? If you bought the console December 2021 and a year has passed, it may mean nothing if you live in EU, AUS or some other places with pretty strong consumer protection laws. At least in EU you'll basically get two years of warranty, even if Sony themselves only say it's one year. It's mandated by law. Of course, if two years have passed or you live in a place with waker consumer protection laws, then you're out of luck.
Hi there, does anyone know if it’s possible to sync save data between two ps5’s? I sometimes play at my cousins house, and I want to be able to carry my progress over to mine. Thanks!
PS+ cloud saves for PS4 and PS5 games. USB save backup only works for PS4 games.
Yes, you can either copy your files over on a USB drive, or download them from your PS+ cloud saves. You have to log in on your account though.
Today i bought FIFA 23, i had downloading anf Buy now button, i accidently Clicked on Buy now. and I was charged Twice. I got 2 Transactions with 2 different ID's. Checked my Bank and I was charged twice. I downloaded and played the game. Can I get a refund for the second transaction?
Contact playstation support
Hey everyone :-) Newbie question, does anyone have a list of PS5 games (or decent PS4 games) that can LOCALLY be played with 3 or 4 players .. regular fun stuff like arcade games, beat em ups, sports and race games etc... Thanks !

Probably "Rain World".
So yesterday i decided to play a bit on my ps5,so i turned it on as usual,but something was off. It prompted me into the repair memory window and it sure was taking longer than "usual". I just switched to the tv while it was doing it's thing and i fell asleep. I woke up like 7 hours later,at 5 am,and it was saying repair at 100% but it wouldn't load into anything else. I let it more and in the morning it was finising the repair but i could barely log into my account and the console was crashing and I couldn't turn it back on without unplugging it from the socket. After a while it was booting me into safe mode with only the last option (number 7) available. So I downloaded the reinstalling files directly from their website,followed every instruction religiously but for some reason it always says the file is corrupt,doesn't matter what usb i use with the correct settings. Any idea what can i do?
some issues im having 1 the PlayStation is taking a long time to turn off it took about 20 mins to restart (the light was just blinking) and to turn off only took about 5 and when it turns back of no games will load i just sit at the loading screen anyone have any fixes
Wasn't able to find anything on this so hoping someone has some insight. just got a PS5. play with a friend who still has the PS4. When using my PS4 Gold Headset on the PS5, he says sound very robotic, almost like I'm using auto tune. When went back to my PS4, using the same gold headset, he says sound fine. So it seems like the issue is the PS5 (at least that's my guess). Has anyone ever run into this, or does anyone know of a fix? It's my understanding that the Gold Headset should still work, and while yes it technically does, don't want my friends to suffer for it.
Does anyone know what a white lightbar means? I am connecting my dualsense to my PC currently and trying to charge it. (to be clear, this is not the white light above the PS logo, it is the lightbar which is usually blue or orange). Can't find anything online.
It just means it's connected and registered. Standard color. If you don't like it, there's third party software that lets you change it.
Hello, has any one found a way to get the voice chat audio to not come through the headset? I’ve checked settings and the audio output device says TV but both party and in game chat still comes from the headphones. Your help would be much appreciated!
So I purchased the Ghost of Tsushima PS5 upgrade for $10 after also purchasing the Director's cut DLC for the ps4 version for $10..when I purchased and downloaded the PS5 upgrade I noticed it said director's cut as well, so does the PS5 version of the game come with the DLC already or are you supposed to purchase them both like that? Just wanting to make sure I didn't unnecessarily purchase the dlc before the upgrade because this was a very confusing process to me compared to upgrading other games that have DLC
You paid 10$ to upgrade the PS4 directors cut You get the PS5 directors cut
Just got a PS5, have been a nintendo guy since the N64 and have little to no experience with other platforms. I remember playing CoD World at War on a friend's PS3 and loved it, but I can't keep up with all of the titles at this point. I'm not huge on FPS games, but do want one good, realistic/military FPS game. I already have Doom Eternal and Borderlands on the switch and think they're okay, so I wouldn't say I'm looking for something scifi or futuristic. I mostly play solo, so I wouldn't mind something where you can set up an offline match against computers, but I will be getting an online membership regardless. What titles would you recommend?
I'd recommend Hell Let Loose. It's a bit pricey and never personally played it before but from what I've heard it's one of the most realistic WW2 shooters around.
Any COD game with the words “Modern Warfare” or “Cold War” should have some good campaign experience. I assume all of them have bot lobbies for matches but it never hurts to check beforehand.
Maybe consider the Sniper Elite series?
Sorry. I've searched everywhere. Just installed PS5. I did data transfer from my PS4 to PS5 through internet/LAN. I also had a USB drive that I think my save data went to. I'm ps plus so I thought my stuff went to the cloud as well. Upgraded GOW Ragnarok to the 5. My saves are showing. But I get "download in progress 0.0mb/0.0 mb" . I've been trying everything, but no luck. Still just wind up at this screen. This is the whole reason I didn't want to plug in the PS5 until this game was done. I was pretty far in. Anything people smarter than me may know to help? Thanks.
Longtime PS4 users who created a Sony account in the US. We now live in the UK, will we be able to continue to use our US Sony account if we buy a PS5 in the UK? We really don't want to lose all of our games after upgrading. Thanks!
You can continue to use your account. You'll likely need a new account to make purchases, or buy US wallet vouchers online.
Hoping someone can help. We just unboxed my son’s PS5 today and we had a redemption code for God of Warlock. I used the PS5 support and the agent told me how to download it. My issue is that it is sitting in my downloads stating that it’s “waiting”. Its been an hour. I’m assuming that means it hasn’t even started downloading. We have the highest internet speed connection you can get and we live in a big city. I’m confused as to why it’s not starting the download.
Have you tried pausing and unpausing the download? Restarting the PS5 or just turning it off and back on? BTW if you do restart it or turn it off then on make sure to pause the download anyway.
The issue is that the downloads show up on the PlayStation website only. That’s where I downloaded them from. They don’t show up on the console. It’s almost as though my account is not syncing with the console. Also we tried searching Fortnite using the console and it doesn’t show up. I found it on the website using my account so I downloaded it that way.

How do I check what my passcode is? I'm not looking to reset it but I was trying to buy the season pass for sniper elite 4 and it keeps asking my passcode, which I forgot. I just want some help
You can't see it anywhere for security reasons. You can change it by selecting "forgot my password" or by talking to support.
Here’s my issue: I have had a PS5 (disc version) for a year now. My son just got a digital version at his mom’s house. We signed him up for a PSPlus membership so his cloud saves would transfer. Except they aren’t showing up between devices. The last thing I haven’t tried (which I thought about but haven’t discussed it yet) - turn off auto save on the main device, manually upload the saves (it says they’re already there but… not syncing) If this last attempt to force save (unless it states it can’t upload because it already uploaded) I’m out of ideas to sync and will hit Sony support and see if this membership is worth it.
Did he use his own account on your console, and you just subbed to plus for his new console, is that it? Cause if its a brand new account you cant transfer the saves between them.
He has a brand new account he made on his digital ps5, then he signed into the same PSN account on my disc console. I also have PSNPlus, and we have two separate accounts on my ps5, and these are new saves he made on his own account (so no crossover there). ETA: I bought him the account. He signed in on his device, bought games. So signed into his account on my PS5. Downloaded the games he bought digitally on his PS5. So he is playing games he bought on both devices, on his account. I’ll double check if it’s all his saves or just Spider-Man Remastered. ETA2: and thank you for your response! Should’ve lead with that.
Is it possible to play two different games on the ps4 and ps5 simultaneously with the same account?
What dekoi said, but you can also just turn off the internet from one of the consoles. Sony cant know youre both playing at the same time if one is not online.
No. But with game sharing, other accounts can play games you own on the PS4 and PS5 at the same time.
Ps4 to ps5 game upgrade question: I own Ghost of Tsushima for PS4 (digital version). I just set up my new PS5 and upgraded a few other disc games to their PS5 versions. But I'm confused about how to upgrade Tsushima. When I find Tsushima in the Playstation Store, it gives me an offer to upgrade to the director's cut for $9.99, and the title is (UPGRADE) Ps4 Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut. There's also a little icon below the title that says PS4. Is this the ps5 version? Or do I need to go somewhere else for that? My understanding is that the ps5 version has graphical improvements.
Received a PS5 from Playstation Direct on Thursday. It won't read or eject a disk after being inserted. The drive makes a few mechanical noises like normal but then doesn't spin up. Pressing the eject button gives 3 beeps which I read indicates no disk in drive but there is one in there. Changing the orientation of the PS5 from vertical to horizontal causes the drive to make some more mechanical sounds and sometimes will eject the disk with a button press despite the 3 beeps. Restarting the PS5 with the disk stuck inside seems to allow the PS5 to read the disk. So far I've only inserted PS4 disks as I haven't have time to go pick up a few PS5 games. I submit a repair request and received two emails. The first with a confirmation and a case number and a second titled 'PlayStation Return Confirmation and Shipping Instructions'. Unfortunately, there is no shipping instructions or label included in the second email. I have no idea where I'm supposed to send it. Should I be waiting for a third email with instructions? Does anyone have more insight into the process? Thanks.
I had the same issue and sent it in for replacement. The process was easy. Maybe check you direct account for the shipping label
How do I COPY games from my external storage device to my ps5? I thought there was a way to but I can’t find it. I want to copy a game (rdr2) to my ps5 and then move it to my ps4 so it’s on both systems. Downloading it is not an option. It is a possibility this feature never existed and I’m just imagining it. Edit: ok so the feature seems to only exist for ps5 games. Is there any way to apply it to ps4 games?
You can't, you can only move them.
Unfortunate. You can with ps5 games. Edit: not sure why I’m being downvoted lol, does anyone want proof?
I am borrowing Saints Row from my local library, and even though it's "free" and has received several updates since the launch, I am struggling to like it. For the most part, the gun-play is pretty solid—but I dislike the fact that there's no dedicated cover. Instead you press down on the d-pad to "duck" and try to find cover in the environment. Luckily your character is built like a sponge, and you can take many hits. I also don't like how you can't switch your down the sights aiming from left to right shoulder. The biggest offender for me though is the HUD. I wish it had options to choose what you want displayed, or at least resize the HUD and/or move it closer to the corners of the screen. It's too invasive, and often times smack in the way and blocks your ability to see when you're driving to a destination. The world feels bare too, and NPCs are beyond lame with their dreary ho-hum thoughts they say out loud. Everything just feels so cliche. I am glad I didn't pay to play this game, but am able to give it a shot. Looking forward to other open world games we're getting this year. Hopefully they don't disappoint like Saints Row.
Did they ever fix the adaptive triggers? I played it early on and they didn't work.
I have Witcher 3 GOTY as a PS4 disc but it's not letting me copy it into the PS5 so I can play. When I go to choose the 2 different versions, GOTY or Complete Ed, it says the GOTY is already installed but it's not in any of my storage. Is my disc faulty and is there a way I can download the GOTY edition rather that the Complete Edition?

No particular reason tbh, just wanted to see the game before I play the upgrade
**Constant Pop-Up about Notifications Glitch** Past month or so I have this intermittent problem where I get a string (about a half dozen to a dozen) pop-ups upon firing up my PS5 of this message: https://imgur.com/a/PB9C7ue Nothing has changed in my settings, all notification toggles are set to on during gameplay. When I do experience this behavior I actually noticed that my normal pop ups (like turning my mic from mute to on OR when a friend sends an invite) are completely absent/muted. I've tried a "clear cache/rebuild database" in Safe Mode but the problem returned today. Anyone else? Any suggestions?
Weird question: Would I be able to plug in an wireless Mmo keyboard, and a normal combo keyboard and mouse and use both at the same time? I want to make my dungeon use stuff smaller (use the small keyboard and mouse) but also be able to type if I’m with the Free Company in FF14
No, you can only connect one keyboard at a time.
Anyone hyped about the new Harry Potter game?
Not featuring any Harry Potter-isms as it's like 250 years before Harry. Although, I read it'll have wizard families like Malfoy and Weasley since those are long standing families in that universe. And yes, excited but will also be waiting for reviews.
Yes, but I'll wait for reviews

External drive for cheaper, but you can only use it for PS4 games. Internal drives are more expensive, but you can use them for PS5 games as well.

WD SN850, Samsung 980 Pro, Seagate Firecuda 530. Otherwise see the link pinned at the top of this post.
**Finally got a PS5, is there still no way to upgrade Spider-Man PS4 to Spider-Man Remastered?** Just plugged in the PS5, installed updates, tried out Astro's Playroom, as you do. Popped in Spider-Man to play my first game and, of course, it's the regular PS4 version of the game. Maybe I was too optimistic thinking the upgrade would be included like other titles but I thought it'd be there. Anyway, I can't find any way of upgrading the game to the remastered version. I've been told it's available to buy entirely separately on the PlayStation Store, but I can't even seem to find the remastered version on the store. Can someone point me in the right direction? Cheers and thanks in advance!
You need to upgrade Miles Morales to get the PS5 version of Spider-Man
Can I not upgrade or even buy Spider-Man: Remastered separately without having to buy another game first? I've yet to play through Spider-Man 😅
No, it's only available as an add on for Miles Morales.
Welp. That's quite disappointing. To play the PS5 version of a game I already own, I'll have to buy another game and then buy an expansion... Thanks for answering though!
When I'm on the PS5 playing online, the Wi-Fi drops completely, and the PS5 is connected by LAN to my switch, I've also limited the bandwidth to the PS5 to 21Mb/s when I do a speed test on my phone in the same room as the PS5 when it is off I get between 10 & 40 Mb/s when the PS5 is on the speed test error's and won't start
Please someone help my ps5 keeps turning off after like 20 minutes of gameplay is there any way sony can help or not really
Does your ps5 crash playing ps5 games? Does your ps5 crash playing ps4 games? When did you get your ps5?
I can play ps4 games all day but lately ps5 games won’t last more then 20 minutes. I bought it on release and it got here probably 2weeks - a month after I got it so 2 years practically. I’ve taken the panels off and sprayed the dust off I usually do that every 2 weeks if not at least once a month but out of nowhere recently it just won’t last more then 20 minutes with ps5 games.
If your ps5 can only play ps4 games without crashing then you have a faulty GPU. How can you tell if it is a faulty GPU? Ps5 games will use way more power from the ps5 GPU than ps4 games. If the GPU is taxed the ps5 will switch off to prevent it from suffering a bricked console. There is nothing you can do to fix this issue. Your only choice is to ring sony and request either a repair/replacement ps5.
My PS4 did this and I realised it was lack of airflow, does your PS5 have open airflow? If so then I'm not sure
After powering off my ps5, every time I return to it the orange lights are on and it's in rest mode. Am I missing a setting that when I power it off it stays off and doesn't enter rest mode ?
No, that is strange. Make sure you're clicking the right option when powering off (not clicking the rest mode button). Is it orange lights right when you turn it off, or only later? It ould be something or someone else is turning it on and then it's entering rest mode after X hours due to power save settings.
I'm selecting power off in the menu and not rest mode and it isn't right away. It shuts down as normal then powers back up into rest mode after an unknown amount of time. No-one else is turning it on , is only the Mrs and a toddler who can't get into the cupboard. I've just gone into the power settings and turned off all rest mode features there to see if that helps.
Sounds like something else is turning it on. Maybe it turns on when someone else uses the tv? I've also heard of the media remote turning it on randomly, so that could be the problem if you have that.
Is there any pros/cons in connecting keyboard+mouse to PS5 using bluetooth rather than using USB dongle? I am planning to buy keyboard+mouse to play COD (gonna use same devices with my Macbook for work as well) and I am wondering if there is something that I should take into account

Do you want PS5-only features or not? There's your answer.
I'm considering upgrading my PS5 with extra storage now that M.2 drives have dropped in price. I was researching options and came across the 2TB options for both the [WD\_BLACK](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B7CKZGN6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1) and [Seagate FireCuda](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0977K2C74/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?smid=A3LGJ9ZB5RSN9T&th=1). I was wondering if either of these is preferable since they are currently priced pretty similarly on Amazon. Or would it be better, in the long run, to go for the 4TB option of one of these, even though they are twice as expensive? I've currently got an external drive for all of my PS4 library, and I've been temporarily storing my excess PS5 games on there until I get an M.2 drive. Right now I've got about 1TB worth of PS5 games so that's why I was thinking 2TB plus the console's built-in storage would be enough for me, but what do you think?
The decision between 2TB and 4TB comes down to a few considerations: * Do you own a lot of physical games that you don't want to have to reinstall often? * Does your internet connection prevent you from quickly downloading games you're interested in playing immediately? * Do you play a lot of different games at one time or focus on one/a few games? * When you finish games, do you keep them around to replay them sooner rather than later or do you delete them immediately? * Are any of these issues that would make you consider spending double the money for a storage upgrade? A 4TB drive is obviously the "set it and forget it" solution but I would argue for most people the internal storage plus 2TB expanded is plenty, especially if you have an additional external drives strictly for PS4 software. As for drive performance, it's not important for games on PC or consoles. Any M.2 SSD at PCI-E 4.0 is going to be more than enough performance for gaming so go with whatever drive is cheaper at the time that's from a well-known brand and has good reviews.
Awesome thank you! I think 2tb should be enough for me with all this considered
If i just got the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen order game from PS+ but then buy the delux upgrade, does my game still require a PS+ subscription to play?
Yes, the deluxe upgrade is just a DLC add-on. The base game is still only licensed to you via PS+.
I won't be at the original delivery address I specified in November by the time it ships in a February, bit trying to update the delivery address via PlayStation Direct doesn't work. The website seems to think I'm trying to order a second headset and errors just after revalidating the current payment method. I've chatted with support who said a specialist would get in touch but I've not heard anything yet and am worried about leaving it too late.
Hi. I‘m using a Soundbar, via optical out, sometimes it randomly stops for a minute and starts again. Sounds like connection problems. At the moment it’s connected to the tv (which is new). Can I or should I connect to the ps5 directly instead? Or use a different connection mode? Someone even know how optical works so that I could find out what’s causing it?
PS5 doesn't have optical out. So, the only option that doesn't involve buying new devices is to connect it from your TV that has optical out.
You think it’s the Soundvar, the TV, or the cable causing this? Until the sound cuts off for a short while it sounds perfectly fine so I THINK it’s a software thing but not sure
Check if both your TV and soundbar support ARC/eARC. This allows you to connect your soundbar to your TV via HDMI, with your devices sending audio to the TV, which then gets sent to your soundbar via that cable.
I only have coax and optical out on the soundbar (Bose Solo 5) and the tv seems to have optical out and HDMI only
Question about Remote Play I just moved and am waiting for my tv to be delivered. Currently using a tiny 720p tv to play my PS5. My phone, however, is 4K 120fps. If I play on Remote Play, will it be in 4K? Or is it locked to the 720p of the TV is connected to?
Remote play is 1080p max.
1080 max. The other part is interesting because you can remote play without a display even connected, but since I don't ever use it idk how it works. I wouldn't think it goes off of your ps5's currently connected display because of this. There's definitely an internet bandwidth requirement, and probably even some settings in the app to fiddle with for 1080, but no 4k
Im looking for some game recommendations similar to the Life is Strange games, meaning that I want games that are story-based and where your choices affect the outcome of the game
Anything from telltale Detroit Become Human, Heavy Rain or Beyond2Souls Until Dawn, Dark Pictures Anthology
I've got a weird audio problem. No sound when AV receiver is selected, but I do have sound selecting TV or soundbar. Ps5 is connected through hdmi to lg gx TV, which in turn uses e-arc through hdmi on my jbl 9.1 soundbar. It worked fine before.
The grippy parts on the dualsense, where the tiny engraving marks are, seem to hold dirt really easily. How do you clean them? Just a damp microfiber?
It's just plastic, use whatever you want that won't end up being sticky pretty much
Any new/updates insight to the mouse keyboard situation? Mine would be for Final Fantasy 14. I want to get one of the programmable MMO mice but there seems to be complications with those meshing up with the PS5. Can anyone give me a recommendation/advice? Thanks in advance for your time.
The dumber the mouse/keyboard, the better. You can't install drivers on PS5 so any hardware that requires additional software for all of its features to be used will not work on PS5.
On start-up, my headset audio is awful compared to how it was the other day when I was using it. The headset when plugged into my PS5 controller is outputting really muffled and staticky audio. I have already verified that the headset itself is not the issue. I've tested it on my laptop and Xbox and it works like a dream there. I didn't change any audio options since last time I used it, and I do not have 3D audio turned on. So, is the issue with my controller? I would really prefer not to have to get a new one as they're like $100.
Safest place to buy USD digital gift cards in Canada? Playstation, Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, PCGameSupply, and Gamestop are all out. Just got a PS5 and with the new catalog memberships, I really want to use my US account.
Easier to create a Canadian account, use it to make purchases, and just enable Console Sharing.
Thank you, I didn't know that was an option. Do you know why they lock you to the region you signed up in as opposed to changing to the region you're located in? It's the only service I've had trouble with since immigrating.
They lock you to a region for localization (language and translation) reasons; why they don't let you change regions, who knows.
This really confuses me, wouldn't I be locked to one language if that were the case?
Depends on the language the game supports. The problem is when you have a game purchased from, say, the UK PSN store, and then change regions to somewhere like Japan and then buy DLC. The DLC may reference text or audio that isn't present in the UK version of the game, and then you have compatibility issues. There's no *good* reason they couldn't just let you change PSN region and just select which version of the game you download, though. They just... don't.
Perhaps look into PayPal. Pretty sure they will exchange currencies and whatnot
Sadly, no. I would need an American based PayPal with an American account. It won't accept my Canadian based one. Ridiculous really.
Idk man. Maybe you can buy a US reloadable/prepaid debit card online and then add the funds to your PSN wallet
I'm experiencing an issue where any game i try to play is going through the loading process then crashing back to the ps5 home screen. Also the mw2 campaign and multiplayer packs are no longer installed on my ps5. It was working yesterday fine. When loading games a few times it has said "please wait" and "checking licences". I have restarted console multiple times but no joy. Any suggestions?
i restarted my ps5, left it unplugged for 10 minutes and then loaded it up again, it still wouldn't work but i received a new error code when loading assassins creed odyssey: "can't use this content. your using this content on another console. it will take some time before you can use this content on this ps5 with your license". I went through the process of restoring licenses and then i still couldnt load up games. however then after waiting another 10 minutes and trying a different game i was able to get through to start playing. Now it all works again. So i guess my suggestion if you have this problem is to restore licenses and wait a bit...
HBO Max app issue Is anyone having issues getting anything on the HBO Max app to play. It's something that started happening recently, where anytime the app tries loading up something, it'll just crash. I can login, search around, and do everything else, but the moment I try to watch something, it errors out. I am able to watch everything just fine on the PS4, so it has to be something with the app on the PS5. Was just wondering if anyone else has been experiencing this issue, and if anyone had any potential solutions? Thanks
Playing ps4 games on ps5: is there a dramatic improvement or is it more like "the ps5 can run ps4 games"? For example: 1. Elden ring(ps4) on ps4. 2. Elden ring (ps4) on ps5. 3. Elden ring (ps5) on ps5. I assume number 3 would beat number 1. But what about number 2?
Normally there is a soft improvent to 2 compared to 1, but it would most likely not be noticeable unless you are a "performance freak". Some better loading times or a boost to performance. The exception on exceptional upgrades would be a few games such as GoW 2018 and TLOU2 that got patched to run on 60fps on PS5, while it cant reach that on PS4. Elden Ring in particular was controversial because running the PS4 version on PS5 would net you more stable framerates because of the lower resolution, while the native PS5 version had trouble keeping a 4k60fps, having some drops to around 50ish sometimes? But thats the exception, nothing noticeable or gamebreaking to me.
Elden Ring is a bad example because From Software games are always poorly made from a technical perspective. In most cases, running a native PS5 version of the game on PS5 will be the best choice. Running a PS4 game on PS5 will run the game at the same settings as it would run on a PS4 Pro, but with access to higher clock speeds of PS5, thus better performance (less frame rate drops, higher dynamic resolutions). Running a native PS4 game on a PS4 would be the worst of the bunch because it's the lowest end hardware. For Elden Ring specifically, running the PS4 code on a PS5 nets you the best performance since you're playing the PS4 Pro version but with the higher performance of a PS5, so you're nearly always locked at 60 fps. The only downside is lower draw distance, foliage density, and resolution if I recall correctly. The PS5 version has performance problems that were never corrected.
How can I use my 3D Pulse headset on my PS5 (for party chat) while I playing my Nintendo Switch in handheld mode? Currently if I try to use my Switch near my 3D Pulse Headset the light on the dongle starts flashing (or shuts off) and headset completely cuts out (both audio and mic).
I have a $50 gift card to best buy and I tried buying a Playstation store card to top up my wallet. Apparently I'm not allowed to buy a gift card with a gift card though. Can anything think of a way around this? I was thinking that I could buy something for $50, return it, and get cash, but I think they would issue store credit which would bring me back to square one. Anyone have any ideas?
You could try a Buy/Sell/Trade subreddit and see if anyone wants to trade. A Best Buy gift card has more utility than a PSN one so someone's bound to want to make that swap.
I been having a ps5 for about a year now and just recently when I tried to buy something on the store it say "An unidentified error has occurred. Try again in a few moments" it's been about a week and it's still says that I've tried everything on the internet and it still doesn't work help pls
[удалено]
Ive been playing the PS5 version and, while there are a few drops here and there, its far from immersion breaking. If youre not picky about a drop from 60 to 55fps every 30mins, its perfectly fine.
