PS5 thread 2.0

Just bought myself some ginger root pills for nauseau. Have barely been able to play the headset since I got it, hopefully these help.

Bought some travel sickness tablets myself today to try 😂

Well those ginger pills didn't do much good, played gran turismo for maybe 15 minutes and then had to go lie down for a bit. I bought it mainly for racing games but I'll probably give those a rest for now, I don't think horizon makes me as ill.

Do ye normally get car sick, or is it just VR that's doing it?

I've seen some games have extra comfort settings. Turn off free walking and smooth turning. Make sure it's outputting at 120 fps.

Folks can we have a seperate thread for VR2? I plan on getting one at some point but i dont think this thread is the place to chat about it.

Sorry to be "that guy".

I did one lap of the rally courses which I immediately knew was a bad idea, the car is sliding left and right as well as moving forward. This is kind of a shame as the new WRC game from Codemasters coming out this year was probably the one game I wanted to see on psvr2 the most but it's also looking like the one that will make me the most ill.

Then I tried that new Grand Valley Highway track in one of the group 1 cars, I didn't last too long at that. Was my first time trying a group 1 car in VR, fairly claustrophobic in there.

Changelog

New Social Features

Join a Discord Voice Chat on Your PS5 Console. You can now join Discord voice chats on your PS5 console and easily chat with friends on most other gaming platforms. To start, link your Discord and PlayStation Network accounts from your PS5 console, PlayStation.com, or Discord app on Windows, Mac or mobile device following these steps. Then, use the Discord app on your mobile device or computer to get a Discord voice chat going on your PS5 console (make sure your Discord app is updated to the latest version). You can also let your Discord friends see when you're online and what you're playing.

Note: if you've linked your PlayStation Network and Discord accounts in the past to display what game you're playing, you'll need to link your accounts again on your PS5 console to grant the new permissions needed for Discord voice chat. If you participated in the system software beta and have already linked your accounts during the beta period, you don't need to link them again.

Start or Request a Share Screen from Your Friend's Profile. You can now send a Share Screen request or start sharing your screen with a friend, directly from their profile. Simply select the Share Screen icon on your friend's profile to start a new session.

New "Join Game" Icon in Party Chats. On the voice chat card, a joinable icon will be displayed for party members playing a game you can join. You can join the game directly by selecting the player, and then selecting [Join Game] from the menu

New "Friends Who Play" Tile. In game hubs, you can now see which of your friends have the game, who is currently online, and who is currently playing the game. By selecting the tile, you can see what your friends are doing now, and you can also access your friends' profiles, where you'll be given more interaction options.

Manually Upload Game Captures to PlayStation App. You can now manually select and upload individual screenshots or game clips to PS App from your PS5 console, then easily share them on social media or with your friends.* This feature complements the auto-upload functionality that currently exists on PS App.

New Gameplay and Personalization Options

Variable Refresh Rate support for 1440p. You can now enjoy smoother visual performance when using a VRR-compatible HDMI 2.1 display at 1440p resolution, when playing a game that supports VRR.**

We've also made some updates to the parameters of the PS5 console's 1440p output test, enabling 1440p support for a wider range of HDMI displays.

To check if your HDMI device is compatible, go to [Settings] > [Screen and Video] > [Video Output] > [Test 1440p Output].

Game Library Enhancements.

You can now also sort and filter games when adding games to a gamelist.

You can use filters in your library to easily find PS VR games, as well as PS VR2 titles when PS VR2 launches later this month.

Game Presets for Multiplayer Session Preferences. You can set your preferences to manage who can join and who can invite other players to multiplayer sessions you've created for supported games.

Go to [Settings] > [Saved Data and Game/App Settings] > [Game Presets] > [Online Multiplayer Sessions], and select your preferences in [Who Can Join] and [Who Can Invite].

New Accessibility and Ease-of-use Features

PS4 to PS5 Saved Data Migration. We're making it easier for you to access your PS4 saved data on your PS5 console through two ways:

When you download or install a PS4 game on your PS5 console, a notification that PS4 saved data is available in your PlayStation Network cloud storage will appear (if your PS5 console doesn't already have saved data for the game). Simply select the notification to download your saved data.

When you download or install a PS5 game that can load PS4 saved data, such as the PS5 version of a game that was also released on PS4, the same notification will appear (if the game supports this feature).

(Note: online storage for saved data requires a PlayStation Plus subscription)

PS5 to PS5 Data Transfer. You can now easily transfer the data on your PS5 console, including games, saved data, user profiles, settings, screenshots, and videos, to another PS5 console using a local Wi-Fi network or a LAN cable. You can either transfer the data during the initial PS5 console setup or later from the settings menu. This process doesn't remove or modify the data on your original PS5 console.

Screen Reader Improvements. The screen reader now gives more detailed guidance when navigating the console. It will now tell you which direction you can move from the currently selected component, as well as your current position in a component with multiple items. Additionally, when using the screen reader to view web pages, you'll now see borders around the section that's being read aloud.

Wireless Device Update for DualSense Wireless Controller. You can now update the DualSense wireless controller device software with a wireless connection. If you have trouble updating the device software wirelessly, connect your controller to your PS5 console using the USB cable to update it. You'll be able to update wirelessly for the next update.

Wireless update for the controllers is the best part of the update for me. That was a nuisance, especially when you usually flip between two controllers when the battery starts going on one.

Hardest part was trying not to strip the crappy screws Sony used. I put in a 2TB WD SN850 and the Sabrent heat sink. The design on the Sabrent heatsink is great. You put your drive in then place the heatsink on top and it replaces the steel plate covering the ssd compartment.

Thanks guys, good to hear a few success stories. I'll probably give it a go myself at some point in the next few months

Have you noticed any lag compared to the onboard SSD from Sony?

Got a Corasair 1TB with heatsink included, extra storage is great, ever since I got GB broadband I was always running out of room 😂

Couldnt resist at this price. 685 euro including delivery.

Hopefully they honour it as it seems like a mad price.

€1309.99 now!

Setting up that TV in your new house will be the business.

First thing Im doing is Thumper 120hz on mine. 🤩
