Game share is a crazy thing cuz I swear ever since it became a thing, we could all find a friend and pay half price for every game, but most of us just too lazy 😂

The storage thing should be a little more clear. An external HDD (or even an external SSD I believe) is not simply a flat out storage expansion. It's going to be severely limited, e.g. you can't play PS5 games off of those drives. If you want an actual storage boost there's an M.2 SSD expansion slot in the console - that's the real deal, not your old Seagate 500GB HDD plugged in via USB-A. TLDR, if you want a real storage expansion, get an M.2 SSD - re-using your old PS4's HDD for your PS5 isn't the smart DIY ultimate cheap storage solution it's made out to be in this vid.

I love the option to turn off all audio super quickly! Sometimes there are situations where I need to mute everything quickly and instead of muting the controller and turning off my sound bar hitting that button quickly is the best!

I just got mine too! One piece of info that I sorta wish I knew before I bought a 5tb HDD, but the PS5 will only play PS5 titles on a SSD, and in particular a M.2 SSD. Make sure you get one of those! It does have a slot for an internal SSD, just pop the outside panel off and you can slot one in, a 1tb SSD is gonna run between $100-$200 tho, as you want to ensure it's the right kind AND has a heatsink. You can always add a heating for cheaper but I'm overly cautious.

I snagged one a couple months after launch, and this is the first I've heard of the controller long press mute lol Thanks for the helpful info on top of the regularly awesome content

I use the mute all audio feature literally all the time. I love QOL features like that

Didn't know about the muting that's so insanely useful because I often play muted and when I mute my TV(unless it was turned on already muted) it will show a big MUTED thing in the corner. With this way that doesn't happen and it's more convenient than finding my remote.

This is useful information. These will be on my mind when I get a PS5.

I never thought about the hard drive in my PS4 and using it as an external. Falcon bro. You are soooo clutch!!!! And I bought exactly the case that you had on screen 😆 UPDATE: the disassembly and reassembly into the orico hard drive enclosure was so simple! I KZreadd everything lol thanks FALCON!

Okay, the cache clearing I needed to know about. My PS5 has been stuttering in loading screens and main menus like in Crossout and PSO2NGS. And recently it had an issue with randomly disconnecting from the internet, which was actually solved by restarting it.

FYI Number 9 on this list is also possible on PS4 for people who may have tried it with say a family member, but it can sometimes when you travel your PS4 to different internet locations end up needing you to restore licenses, and the way around those issues is from the "Primary PS4" setting also under Account just for PS4. Hope that helps for anyone still not able to get their hands on a PS5.

Don't get too excited. It still stretches it and doesn't look very good. It may be a game by game basis but I've only played all the major releases for ps5 (I mainlyvplay pc ultraeide) and none of them natively support ultrawide. You either deal with black bars or stretched image. And imo the black bars are better. I ended up buying a 2nd moniter to play ps5 on for this reason. Edit: and an additional tip if you are planning on purchasing a 16:9 moniter for the ps5. Get one that will support the playstations vrr feature.

ayyy, love the Sly Cooper icon. Thats the one i use :)

On the note of scrolling all the way over to the right for the power settings, if you have power settings to its default location, instead of scrolling all the way to the right all if you have to do is hit left once to get there

thanks a lot for the tips

1st thing I did with my PS5 was disable the on screen voice. OMG that is annoying! 😬

For doing acount sharing, if it doesnt let you download you may need to go on your friends account and download the game but you can still play it on your own, thats how it is for me at least

This is exciting to learn about. Thank you! I'm currently saving up for one because I want to play Hogwarts Legacy before my birthday and on my birthday. Hopefully, in the next few weeks, I can get one! I plan on getting the disc version because I like my disc games, and I know on the Switch it takes up less space when you have the cartridge version.

You could just plug wired headphones into the controller headphone Jack and the sound comes out from them only and not the tv, then you don’t have to mute it. You might have to change something in the options there are videos online how to do that, it’s just 1 option on either sound or controller settings I can’t remember anymore I always check it when I get to a new console

Number 6 i found out by sheer accident. I only use like 3 or 4 of those options ever and I have them all on the left side except for the power option. It's firmly on the right side and all I gotta do is hit left once and boom, quick & easy power save/off. Yeah it saves a whopping like 1 or 2 seconds but it just feels less tedious now that all i need is right there

For number 9 does this work the same for if i add my account onto a friends ps5 will it still share the account

You know I have watched 30+ videos with this title and this is the first one I actually learnt something

Fun fact about the console sharing is, that you can actually share your account with more than just 1 or 2 ps5 consoles. I share my account with 3 of my friends and they share it with me and we play each other’s games. Yes sometimes it’s shows a lock, meaning the console thinks you don’t own the game. All you have to do then is go on your friends account ( you downloaded the game from) ,restore the license and again enable console sharing
