Long Live Lord Rob!
Another tip that I don't see covered anywhere is to make sure your controller mic is set to mute if you want the full trigger effect. Having the mic on automatically sets the haptics to standard as opposed to the strong setting.
I've had a PS5 for about a year and a half, and I STILL learned a few things! Thanks, King Rob! 🤴✊🏾🙏🏾
The 3D headset setup also just led me totally revamp the audio setting to accommodate the soundbar I got for Christmas! What a marked audio improvement! Thanks, Access team!
Took me a bit to get one, but I finally did this last Christmas. Truly appreciate that you’re still posting tip videos, two years later.
Just a fantastic piece of equipment; so happy I didn't drop dead before I had the chance to get one.
Something to note is you can also set your profile to turn the controller mic off by default every time you log in.
I have had one since launch & and I knew the majority of the tips as many of social features i don't care for. Thanks for the refresher, Mr Pearson.
The wish list is great. It’s told me when a game was stealth price drop. Thanks I didn’t know about the two ports to vac out to clean it.
Glad you mentioned those dust ports! I had no idea those existed, so mine probably need a little tidying up by now.
You never mentioned controlling when your console takes screenshots and video when popping trophies. Go to Settings > Captures and Broadcasts > Auto-Captures > Trophies, then you can set what trophy types take screenshots and video, along with the video length. I personally have it set to take screen caps for silver and higher and video for gold and higher. It’s a must have setting to save ssd space from every bronze trophy you’ll get.
What I love about the PS5. As soon as you cut it on. Select your profile it gives you the option before even signing in if you want to go offline.
17:44 if you happen to have TWO PS5s this also allows you to play together in multiplayer - with one game license. THATs something few people know! Even better - if it happens to be a cross-gen PS4/PS5 game, and you have 2 PS4s (or a ps4 and a psPro) - you can have 4 players playing together on a single license (depending on the game - not all games will work depending on how they set up licenses)!
Nice, didn't know I could go to search by hitting triangle on the main menu. thx Rob!
Well done Rob, v useful tips! I have to say, I've been impressed since day 1 with the PS5 (was lucky enough to get it on launch day) and how much of an improvement it is over the PS4 and it's interesting design. I also like that you can change the side panels, got purple ones on at the mo, looks v cool and soon PSVR2 will arrive and that looks really amazing. Good time to be a gamer.
Got my PS5 for Xmas. I had learned about half this list (like downloading in rest mode) just from going through the menus and tinkering. A few options I’d seen, but didn’t really know how they could be useful, like remote play on a PC. After watching this, I’ll be more likely to look into that option. There were about 6 other features on this listing I didn’t know about at all. One feature I haven’t been able to figure out is a method to directly connect my PS5 and PS4 (via USB or LAN cable) to transfer PS4 game data. Having to transfer this data via a separate HDD a couple hundred gigs at a time is so unnecessarily complicated and tedious. I have a 5TB external HD, but I couldn’t use it as extended storage because I’d have to format the whole drive instead of being able to create and allocate a partition specifically for PS games and data. I already have over 1TB of other data on the drive and nowhere else to put it right now. I was able to use the backup and restore option to save a copy of the games on my PS5 onto the 5TB drive, then delete them and download more games. I found an old 640GB HDD and wiped the OS off it, then I formatted it for external storage. This let me move about 300GB of PS4 games onto the extended storage, then over to the PS4. Once the games were copied, I would do the restore option to get another set of games on the PS5 that had previously been deleted. I had to do this 4 times over about 12 hours to get my games sorted out so I have some spare space on my PS5 to fit new games without having to delete something else. 😢
Great list PlayStation Access! Thank you!
Wow! This is the only tips and tricks video that I watch from start to end. Ron's voice is so compelling.
That 10 second trick for turning off the controller is a gamechanger
I’d like to see a function where you can share your wish list with friends or family like Amazon etc etc
The mute button on the controller itself is my favorite PS5 feature. Some headsets don't have a mute button, and even the ones that do require you to take your hand off the controller to press it, so I am constantly using it
No way, made up that I can use my bought content on a new profile, been wanting to do this for ages but never realised I could. Thanks Rob
Was lucky enough to have my PS5 since launch. Still learnt some new tricks from this vid though 👌 thank you Sir Roberys
I've had my PS5 for over a year now and I set it up so my controls are inverted and the captions are on from day one. I've still had to do it manually for every game I play. Maybe it only works on PS5 games and I didn't notice. I've mostly been playing PS4 games from Essential and Extra. I didn't know about the vacuum ports. Great tip!
Knew some of these but wanted to see what I didn't know. Also wish we got themes
This was quite a handy vid. Thanks!
I just bought PS5 last month. Thanks for this. These will come in handy
Appreciate the info!
I got a ps5 last Saturday it's so cool
It's Friday... Hello. You've caught me looking at ps5 tips and tricks.... Missed a trick there 😉
2 more tips 1. If audio isn't working in game or on the store, press playstation button to bring up control panel go to audio settings and check in there. I spent a hour trying to figure out why audio on the store wasn't working. 2. You can add and remove control panel settings in this menu also.
This video is such a gem!
I use these a lot, but in need of a cleaning and vacuuming of the inside. The voice feature acts frequently inside parties when I dont want it to though
The system update in rest mode always happens but keeping my games up to date does not happen all the time some of the games I play gets updated and rest mode and some does not get updated until I turn my console on very irritating especially when it's one of the games I play a lot and I have to wait for an update it's a broken feature and has been since PS4 All games do not update in rest mode
Only a few I didn't know. Thanks Rob
some pretty neat tricks I've missed somehow, hope there's plans for a few bits on octopath traveler 2. I always felt I was missing out on playstation just never realized how good it is. The battle system is incredible 2b fair,
Perfect I literally bought the ps5 today so this vid was ideal thanks access!!!
Thanks Rob!
what was the game shown with family and parental controls please? great video, learned a few things
Nailed it Rob!
You should make a tip about how hooking up your psvr1 to ps5, and different ps4 accessoires to the ps5 like different Hori controllers.
I wish they could add different sounds options for trophies poping out,like ps3 have or PS4 and make bit louder too
Loved Ash talking with Rob's voice ;) lol
You can never underestimate the fundamentals of the amazing PlayStation 5 🙏💙
Ive Had my PS5 from Day 1! and im still discovering things Lol
Things Rob didn't know the ps5 could be used for; beating the Tower Knight.
Got a PS5 Thursday at my local Walmart. Convinced the wife we could and im so glad!
Good vid, one thing about voice command you should've mentioned, it's only available in US and UK
How can i transfer the save data from ps4 to ps5 by usb drive? I copied it to my ps5 but when i booted the game it wasn't there.
Just got mine yesterday. Let's get it 👑
Thanks you for the tip #29 as this is the tip I didn't know yet. Btw, 8:45 Rob the stalker :'-)
14:40 this is cool but how do i mute my mic only? (fun fact: i dont have ps5 yet😔)
5:40 I see you, Rob! UP THE PALACE!
Can you download a ps5 game or updates of a game on PC and copy it to your ps5 console?
Awesome tips, now if only we could reassign the create button, I've got no interest whatsoever in saving screenshots or videos and end up doing this by accident and have to delete them 😁
#8 Voice Command? This is the one I WANT to use but it's not an option? My settings menu _DOES NOT HAVE_ the Voice command option tab. In your demo, it's _BETWEEN_ 'Saved Data' and 'Notifications'. On my PS5, it's not there AT ALL, and my list goes "Saved Data" and then "Notifications". Why don't I have that as an option on my PS5? I used it on my PS4 all the time and I miss it....☹
Triangle to search, I am kind of annoyed I didn’t know what, thanks!
game lists help a ton but I still wish we had the folder option from ps4.

You mean like game library
Thats odd, under my settings the voice command isn't an option. Any ideas?
I wanted to love the Remote Play feature, but unfortunately there is not insignificant input lag when using it, even if both my console and laptop are connected to the same wifi, with decent speed.

If you can, setup one or the other on a wired connection. This will not only increase connection speed for the wired system but also reduce wireless interference and bandwidth usage

So excited to finally get a Ps5 w/disc last week, turns out it can't play discs and I have to return it:(
Here's my tip: to have your controller mic muted on login go to sound, mic settings, and set mic status when logged in to mute
I purchased a digital game at work last night and it was fully downloaded, updated, and ready to play when I got home. I texted my husband that I could do that, and he said, "Oh no... That's kinda dangerous." Yes. Yes it is.
When in a party and in game, double press the ps button to go the the chat screen
What game is being shown at 18:16?
Thanks, Games Meister.
What is the game that starts at 18.16?
You could do separate installs for ps4 aswell..
Why we in europe can't use voice commands and will we be able to?
This summary proves why Playstation will always be on the top. Thank you Rob and PlayStation Access for the video. 👍
So far I really like the PS5 but it needs folders to organize your games like on PS4

People been asking for that for a minute they need to.
I got my SSD up and running just yesterday. The extra leg room has been a relief. Also, I use my PS4 games with a dualshock 4 since I want to save battery on the duelsense.
All those rings?? Lol was that robs hand
I love my ps5 had since launch and hope they bring another astrobot game
I was searching on how I could check all the add on’s from all of my games and this video popped up. After watching the whole thing, it never talked about the add on’s
No mention of picure-in-picture share play??
So how do I get PlayStation to stop giving me sale information at 3:30 in the morning on my phone?
We just need a game gifting option
Can it beat the Tower Knight for me?
I have auto update disabled actually, and it STILL auto downloads. Idk why
18:09 what game is that
Just ordered my playstation 5 last night 😁

@@sethmende choose a good time to change over always been playstation since the ps1 but xbox did have some classics back in the day
1. Be available to buy in Belgium
I have 3. I hope to get 5 someday.
I realised number 9 a few days ago 😭. So easy for trophies now
Voice control DOES NOT work. I said, "Hey PlayStation! Open the pod bay doors." All I got was the response, "I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that." Still floating in space while on hold with Sony support.
"Owned a PS 5 since launch..." Good one!
Proud to say I knew all of these lol
Remote Play is cool!
I wish there was a delete trophy list option back on the PS3. To this day I would like to erase the list of the first game I've ever played which was long before I knew what trophies actually are.
No psvr2 unboxing from you guys?
Rob guessed wrong. I do not have a PS5, but I wanted to hear his analysis anyway, because it's Rob!
Its so amazing my ps5 I love it
Saw the title and was like yeah yeah sure I bet it's obvious things..then I saw the game preset function
Finally managed to find a PS5, but,l the PS4 did have a lot of these features as well, so already knew most of these…
Where is Access PSVR2 unboxing?
Steam gives me the option to change the colours on my controller, Sony need to add this to the ps5
I always have auto updates on but it never works. Turn the PlayStation on and there’s an update
the HDMI link anmnoys me. When I have it active, and turn on my tv, the playsration turns on automatically. I dont exactly only use my tv for playing on ps5. XBOX gets this right,, the console auto turns on the tv but not the other way around. I really hope Sony fixes this but I havent heard many people complain about it
Love your content guys but some of these are holdover options from ps4
