The PlayStation 5 has hidden features such as an alternative shutdown option, game room, and various game modes. About the secret capabilities of the console - in the material.

No Spoilers

The PS5's main screen and menus are full of screenshots that could potentially contain information about the game's plot, writes the Wired portal.

To avoid spoilers, you need to go to the settings, from there to "Saved data" and to the "Settings for games and applications" section. In this menu, you can find the line "Warning about spoilers". This feature only works for games designed specifically for PS5.

Game presets

Another hidden feature allows you to save time on setting up any game. PS5 features allow you to set difficulty, graphics and performance settings, as well as camera movement and controls before you play. To do this, go to the "Saved Data" section of the settings, from there to the "Settings for games and applications". Here is the "Game Settings" section, where you can set personalized presets.

I only play half an hour, right?

PS5 gives the player the opportunity to see how many hours they have spent playing games. To do this, you need to select your avatar in the upper right corner of the PS5 main menu, then select the profile, and there - the game tab. Here you can see the total time, the time spent in each game, as well as progress in trophies.

Astro Game Room

Every PS5 comes with an Astro Game Room. It's a 3D platformer filled with nostalgic references to the original PlayStation. In addition, Astro demonstrates what the new DualSense controller is capable of.

Once you've become familiar with the room, you can delete it to free up 11 GB of space. To do this, go to the "Storage" section of the settings, and from there to "Games and applications".

Tips for Stuck

Sometimes players get stuck at some point in the game. So that the user does not waste time searching for a detailed walkthrough of the title on the Internet and does not stumble upon spoilers, the PS5 provides hints.

They are available to PS Plus subscribers in select PS5 games. To get them, you need to press the PS button on the gamepad - then a series of cards with hints will appear in the control center. It is also possible to attach a hint to the screen so that the player can follow the instructions during the game.

Notifications are no longer annoying

Pop-ups announcing that one of your friends is online or that a download is complete breaks the immersion effect of the game.

PS5 settings provide for the presence of the Do Not Disturb mode. To turn off notifications during the game, you need to go to the settings section of the same name. Here you can choose which notifications will be disabled during the game.

Turn off in a new way

You can turn off the PlayStation 5 not only in the classic way using the button on the console case. In order not to get up again, just press the PlayStation button in the middle of the controller. After that, at the bottom of the screen, if the PS5 is laying down, a menu will appear with a power icon in the far right corner. If the console is standing, then the menu will be located in the left corner.

On PS4, it was also possible to turn off the console using the gamepad, however, for this you had to hold the button - this method does not work in the new version.

PS5 remote control

Few people know about the existence of the PlayStation app for smartphones. It gives you access to your profile, allows you to connect with your PlayStation Network friends, offers you the latest news, and allows you to browse the PlayStation Store.

You can also use the app to remotely launch downloads and updates, manage storage space, log in, and even launch games remotely, as long as your PS5 is turned on.

Games will not be lost

The user can transfer all games, settings and other files from PS4 to a new console. To do this, you need to connect both consoles to the TV, and then to the Internet using a special cable or via Wi-Fi. After that, you need to go to the PS5 system settings, then to the system software - here you need to select the transfer of data from PS4.

When the message “Preparing to transfer data” appears on the screen, you will need to hold the power button on the PS4 for a few seconds until it beeps. Now you need to select what you want to move to the new console, and click the "Start Transfer" button.

Have you heard of 3D sound?

The main feature of the PS5 is 3D sound. It enhances the effect of immersion in the game world, however, to feel it, you need to use headphones. 3D audio is enabled by default, so when you plug in your headphones, you'll immediately notice the difference.
