PS5 Pro & consoles
PS5 Pro, PS5 Slim and choosing a console
Start with how you buy games and the screen you play on. A disc-capable PS5 lets you use compatible physical games; a Digital Edition relies on downloads unless that particular model supports Sony’s add-on drive. The original Digital Edition cannot be upgraded with the detachable drive.
PS5 Pro plays the PS5 library and offers enhanced graphics features in supported games, including PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR). Improvements depend on the game, its patches and your display. It is not a separate generation, and it does not make every game run at 4K and 120fps simultaneously. PS5 Pro’s compatible disc drive is sold separately.
Help & error codes
PS5 help, troubleshooting and error codes
Note the full error code and what you were doing when it appeared before changing settings. For sign-in, multiplayer or downloads, check PlayStation Network status first: an outage is not a fault with your console. If services are available, restart the console and router, check the connection and install available system updates.
For a blank screen, check the TV input, HDMI cable and a direct connection to the display. Safe Mode can help with display or system problems, but read the description of each option carefully. Resetting or reinstalling system software can erase data; back up important saves before taking destructive steps. Use Sony’s PS5-specific error lookup rather than assuming a PS4 fix applies.

Controllers
DualSense controllers, pairing and compatibility
DualSense brings haptic feedback and adaptive triggers to games that support them. To pair a controller with your PS5, connect it using a USB cable that supports data and press the PS button. A charge-only cable can power the controller without pairing it. Keep controller software updated through the console.
Choosing a spare or a pro controller? Consider comfort, battery life, remappable controls and the games you actually play. A DualShock 4 works with supported PS4 games on PS5, but not with native PS5 games. Using a DualSense on a PC or another console has different requirements, and not every feature carries over.
SSD & storage
PS5 SSD upgrades and USB storage
There are two different ways to expand PS5 storage. A compatible internal M.2 NVMe SSD can store and run PS5 games. USB extended storage can hold PS5 games to save downloading them again, but you must copy those games back to console storage or a compatible M.2 SSD before playing.
Supported PS4 games can run directly from USB extended storage. Before buying an M.2 drive, check Sony’s current interface, size and heat-dissipation requirements, including the combined dimensions of the drive and heatsink. Back up anything important before formatting a drive; formatting deletes its contents.

PS4 on PS5
PS5 backwards compatibility and moving from PS4
The vast majority of PS4 games are playable on PS5, although individual games and features can have exceptions. Your digital library is linked to your PlayStation account. Playing a supported PS4 disc needs a compatible disc drive, and the disc must remain inserted when you play.
A PS4 game running through backwards compatibility is not the same as a native PS5 upgrade. Upgrade pricing, save transfers and whether you need the original disc vary by publisher and game. Check those details before buying a second copy or deleting your PS4 installation. PS3 discs do not run natively on PS5.
Audio, VR & extras
PS5 headsets, audio, PSVR2 and setup extras
Build around the way you play rather than buying every accessory at once. A comfortable headset, a charging solution and enough storage often matter more than cosmetic extras. Check PS5 compatibility explicitly: ordinary Bluetooth headphones do not pair directly with the console as a standard Bluetooth audio device.
For virtual reality, check that the game is a PSVR2 title and that you have the required hardware and play space. Original PSVR games are not automatically compatible with PSVR2. Our PlayStation 5 guides below cover the practical details, while wallpapers give your desktop or phone a PlayStation-inspired look.
