FAQs
Does this console come with a charger for the controller?
The PlayStation 5 Disc Console does not include a separate AC adapter charger for the DualSense wireless controller. Controllers are charged via a USB Type-C cable connected to the console or a compatible USB power source.
What is the difference between the Disc version and the Digital Edition?
The Disc version includes a 4K UHD Blu-ray disc drive, allowing you to play physical PS5 and PS4 game discs, as well as watch Blu-ray movies. The Digital Edition does not have a disc drive and can only play digital games downloaded from the PlayStation Store.
Can I play my PS4 games on this console?
Yes, the PlayStation 5 console is backward compatible with the vast majority of PS4 games. You can play them from a physical disc (for the Disc version) or from your digital library.
How much storage does the 1TB console actually have for games?
The total internal storage is 1TB, but a portion of this is used by the system software. The available space for games and applications will be less than 1TB.
Can I expand the storage on the PS5?
Yes, you can expand storage for PS4 games using a compatible external USB hard drive or SSD. For PS5 games, you need to install a compatible M.2 NVMe SSD into the designated expansion slot inside the console.
What is needed to experience 3D Audio?
The 3D Audio technology can be experienced with any headphones that connect to the PS5 controller or the console's audio jack. For optimal results, using compatible stereo headphones is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Console will not turn on.
Ensure the AC power cord is securely plugged into both the console and a working wall outlet. Check if the power indicator light is on. Try a different power outlet.
No video or audio output.
Verify that the HDMI cable is securely connected to both the console and the TV. Ensure the TV is set to the correct HDMI input source. Try a different HDMI cable or port.
Controller not connecting or responding.
Charge the DualSense controller fully using a USB Type-C cable. Try pairing the controller again by connecting it to the console with a USB cable and pressing the PS button. Restart the console.
Poor network connection or slow download speeds.
Restart your router and modem. Ensure the console is within optimal range of your Wi-Fi router or consider using a wired Ethernet connection for a more stable experience. Check your internet service provider's status.
Disc is not being read or ejected.
Ensure the disc is clean and inserted correctly. If the console is on, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to perform a hard reset, which may help eject the disc. If the problem persists, contact support.
