Console gaming gets an upgrade with the PS5

The PlayStation 5 had to be one of the most talked-about releases for many, and it’s been a little over two weeks since it became available in the U.S. on Nov. 12. It was also released in the U.K. a few days later on Nov. 19, and since hitting the markets, the PS5 has proven how advanced the gaming industry has become. 

Initial reviews raved about the incredibly fast loading times and the technology in the DualSense controller, as well as detailed 4K visuals and a sleek interface. 

While people have found aspects of the device that they enjoy, like any product, there is always room for improvement. Some drawbacks have been found in the DualSense wireless controller, which some found to be bulky. Other reviews point out the considerable 15.4 x 10.2 x 4.1-inch console, which may not be the most effective for smaller storage spaces. 

It’s no doubt that the PS5 was one of the most highly anticipated releases this year, and the time has finally come for gamers to experience the PS5 for themselves and see if it’s been worth the wait.
