PLAYSTATION 5 - FROM THE DESK OF GAME INFORMER

Here’s a quick description for some of the most exciting Sony PlayStation 5 console features from the experts at Game Informer magazine:

The PlayStation 5 will feature a solid-state drive, an enhanced GPU capable of delivering ray tracing, and an 8-core, 16-thread CPU based on AMD’s Zen 2 microarchitecture. The PlayStation 5 controller replaces the rumble technology found in the DualShock 4 with haptic feedback, which will give players a wider range of feedback. You’ll feel the difference in textures as your car drives over rocks or mud through the haptic response. The controller also boasts new adaptive triggers that give developers the freedom to determine how much resistance is applied to the L2 and R2 buttons. Meaning one could get a little harder to push as you draw a bow. The PlayStation 5’s user interface is being expanded in innovative ways, one allowing

players to see what is happening in a game without even booting it up. From the PlayStation 5 menu, you can see which multiplayer matches are available or what single-player missions you are on in the game. No price, release details, or even games have been announced yet, but we’re hoping to learn more soon.
