Let’s dive deep into our experience with the PS5 spanning a little over a month.įrom the official reveal of the console, it was clear that the PS5 is a huge console. Needless to say, for an asking price of Rs 50,000 for the disc edition, the PS5 can put any similarly priced PC to shame. It has also re-envisioned the controller with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. The console comes with a custom SSD that can outperform most popular PC SSDs, has a respectable AMD Zen 2 CPU and an AMD RDNA 2 based GPU that can also support Ray-tracing. In 2020, Sony gave us a deep dive into the specs of the PS5. Nonetheless, Sony pulled up its socks and gave us some breathtaking games like God of War, Ghost of Tsushima (review), The Last of Us Part 2 (review) and many, many more. They ran on an outdated Jaguar CPU, came with slow mechanical hard drives and getting 1080p 30 FPS in some games was tough. When Sony and Microsoft launched the PS4 and Xbox One back in 2013, both consoles were quite underpowered when compared to an entry-level gaming rig of the time. If you are ready to go all-digital, then the Digital Edition makes sense as it saves you Rs 10,000. But considering the package on offer, you can definitely consider the PS5 as your next-gen gaming console. The lack of Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support may be a limiter for those looking for the PS5 to double up as a home entertainment device. The Xbox Series X and PS5 both cost 50K in India and both are compelling consoles. Not to mention the fact that you can play your PS4 games off an external hard drive. While the 667GB built-in storage feels limiting, the option to install off the shelf expansion in the future is there.
The PS5 also has a very good launch lineup and considering the high price of a AAA game, PlayStation Collections is a good way to keep you gaming on the console while you slowly build your games library. Apart from packing in some next-gen hardware, it is the DualSense controller which really stands out. The removable side plates are great for those looking to customize their console. You either love the design or you hate it, but you can’t ignore the fact that Sony has done everything in its power to ensure the console is whisper quiet even under heavy loads.
