The Xbox Series X will also have a custom SSD, one with 1TB of NVMe storage (of which 802GB is usable) but a lesser throughput of 2.4GB/s. Back in March, PS5 lead system architect Mark Cerny said the SSD certifications will likely happen “a bit past” the console’s launch. We’re not exactly sure when that those SSDs might become available. If you want to expand the PS5’s storage, you won’t be able to at launch, but at some point in the future, you’ll be able to slot in a Sony-certified M.2 SSD. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War takes up 133GB, for example, which is nearly 20 percent of the console’s available storage. And the ever-growing size of games means that you might fill up that usable space quickly. You should know, though, that some of that 825GB of storage space is used up by system data, though, meaning that you actually have 667.2GB of usage space.

Just look at how much faster PS5 games loaded than their PS4 versions in our testing: Though it sounds like the difference is minimal based on this technical presentation (skip to 35:30):Īnd that game-changing SSD I mentioned earlier? It has 825GB of storage and 5.5GB/s of throughput - which could be fast enough to let game developers build levels without things like elevator rides or winding corridors that actually mask levels loading in the background. The console also uses variable frequencies on both the PS5’s CPU and GPU, which could theoretically push the graphics to run slightly faster than normal when the CPU isn’t running at peak. The PS5 is powered by a custom eight-core AMD Zen 2 CPU and a custom AMD Radeon RDNA 2-based GPU that will provide 10.28 teraflops of raw graphical power. Unlike Microsoft, the only thing that differentiates those two versions is which console has a disc drive and how much each one costs. But for $100 less, at $399.99, you can buy the Digital Edition PS5 (which also looks noticeably thinner than its more expensive sibling). For $499.99, you can buy a PS5 with a 4K Blu-ray drive. Like Microsoft, Sony is actually selling two versions of its upcoming next-generation console. There are actually two PS5 consoles, but they’re largely the same (And for even more information, check out Sony’s extensive PS5 FAQ.) Image: Sony But if you want to learn more about what the PS5 offers right now, here’s everything we know. We’ll have to wait and see which console proves to be the better buy in the long run. And while the PS5 will play most PS4 titles, the new Xbox consoles boast backwards compatibility with not only Xbox One but also many Xbox 360 titles and some OG Xbox games as well. The company continues to make Xbox Game Pass, its Netflix-like game subscription service, one of the best deals in gaming, and it doesn’t mind whether you play its games on an Xbox or a PC. Microsoft also has a powerful console in the Xbox Series X, which promises better graphics and faster loading times, and it’s also selling the somewhat lower-powered Xbox Series S. We felt that it left a great first impression - even if there aren’t a lot of actual next-generation games to play just yet. Its new controller is amazing, games load quickly, and the console has a more streamlined user interface than the PS4.
We’ve already reviewed the PS5, and it turns out that the console is pretty good. Plus, the PS5’s custom SSD promises to offer such a leap forward in loading speeds that it could change the way games are designed. You should expect to see better graphics in your games, and the PS5 will also support high refresh rates, which should make games feel smoother (if you have a display that supports those refresh rates). This generation, it seems like Sony is sticking with the approach that made the PS4 so successful: sell consoles that can play first-party games from Sony’s storied franchises, and supplement that lineup wit Sony’s behemoth of a console promises an exciting new generation of gaming The next generation of PlayStation is finally here with the arrival of the PS5.
