Sony releases info for the PlayStation 5 and it screams “next-gen.”
Oh PS4, how we have loved you. From scaling cliffsides with Nathan Drake to shooting zombies in The Last of Us, you’ve been a gem. However, it is time for the next generation.
As you can see below, PlayStation hasn’t told us a lot. However, what we do know is interesting.
Backwards compatible
Don’t worry, you will bring your library of PS4 games with you to the new PlayStation 5.
8K vs 4K
If you have a 4K or 8K television, it means the TV has sharp image quality, with a horizontal screen resolution of around 4,000 pixels.
You probably don’t have an 8K television. Right now, 4K is the norm. However, 8K is available and it’s becoming more popular.
Having 8K resolution support means that Sony expects the PlayStation 5 to have a long life. For years after you buy your console, you will still be gaming with the industry standard.
SSD vs. HDD
This one is a bit complicated, but trust us, it’s awesome.
The hard disk drive storage system of the PlayStation 4 is being upgraded to a solid state drive for the PlayStation 5.
If something has a hard disk drive, there are moving parts to it that read and write storage information. A solid state drive doesn’t have any moving parts, as all data is stored on microchips. This makes SSD faster and better than HDD. How is it better? Let’s lay it out with this info from GamingScan:
SSDs have virtually no access time.
SSDs are 15 times faster in i/o performance.
SSDs are about 10 times less likely to fail.
SSDs save more energy and use less energy from the CPU.
The new system’s graphics processing unit (GPU) will support a technology called ray-tracing. Ray-tracing is a visual technique that models how light and shadows will behave in a 3D environment. Typically, you see ray-tracing in Hollywood blockbusters. It does exist to some degree in PC gaming, but not on any current home-console.
The functionality of ray-tracing is up for debate. Many current users don’t like it because it sacrifices FPS for only marginally better graphics.
PlayStation 5 needs to enable ray-tracing technology without compromising FPS. If they can, then both Microsoft and Nintendo will have their work cut out for them.
Sooooo… it’s gonna be awesome?
We don’t have a lot of details, but so far everything looks promising. We highly doubt Sony will reveal a major hindrance to the system that will ruin it. However, this is the same company that thought Knack was an appropriate launch title. Stay tuned and we’ll share more details as they become available.
PlayStation allows users to get a refund prior to downloading games in PlayStation Store.
Sony announced a change to its existing refund policy for digital content purchased on the PlayStation Store. Think of it as buyer’s remorse insurance.
Sony will refund you within 14 days of sale for games and DLC as long as you haven’t downloaded or installed them. The funds are added back to your PlayStation Wallet regardless of payment method.
If you download or install a game and the game is not working, you can receive a full download.
If you preorder a game, you can “return” the game any day leading up to the release date. You can return it for a refund as long as you did not download or install it. Essentially, you can’t return a game because you found out it sucks after downloading it. However, if you find out a game sucks before downloading it, you can return it.
If you buy a membership for a subscription service like Spotify Premium or PlayStation Now, you can also get your money back within 14 days. If you already started using the subscription service, you will be refunded for the amount of time you have not used.
You will be prompted to a customer service screen if you request a refund. Then file your claim through customer service. Once the request is processed, you can get your refund.
Sony’s presence in the handheld console market is about to come to an end. In an official announcement released via Sony Japan, the company has revealed that they will officially be ceasing production of the PS Vita in Japanese markets, with production expected to cease completely in all markets by April 2019. This comes on the heels of a previous announcement that Sony will be phasing out support for the Vita over the course of the next fiscal year. With no plans to launch a successor device, this move signals that Sony will be leaving the handheld console market for good.
The Vita’s end began with the announcement that Sony would no longer be releasing free games for the console via PlayStation Plus. The most recent announcement reveals that there will be no new shipments of the device going forward. New PS Vita titles will continue to be released over the course of the coming year, albeit on a much more limited scale.
Following much success and critical praise during its initial rollout, the PS Vita was eventually overshadowed by other, more successful handhelds. In particular, the Nintendo Switch has dominated the handheld market since its release, drawing gamers away from competitors such as the Vita. Sony’s exit from the handheld market precipitates a shift in focus to their other products, in particular, the PlayStation and PlayStation VR systems.
The announcement that Sony has officially begun phasing out the Vita comes hand in hand with speculation that development of the PlayStation 5 has begun in earnest. Most sources point to the PS5 being paired with PlayStation VR support as a standard feature, and VR will be much more integrated into Sony’s next generation of consoles.
Speculation has also pointed towards backward compatibility being included with the PS5. This speculation is based on a Japanese patent filed by Sony Interactive Entertainment under the name of Mark Cerny, a lead PlayStation developer. When translated to English, the patent is titled “Simulation of legacy bus operation for backward compatibility.” Though no specific reference is made to the PS5, it seems exceedingly likely when taken together with other patents filed by Sony over the past year. At this point, it is almost certain that backward compatibility will be standard on the PS5. Whether this will only include PS4 games or will extend further to older systems like the PS3 or PS2 remains to be seen.
Sony has yet to make any official announcements with regard to the PS5’s release date or price point. That said, industry insiders seem certain that the console will be released at some point in 2020.
The PS4 may be worth buying just for these 7 games alone.
The PlayStation 4 has been one of the most popular consoles in the gaming industry for years now. The PlayStation Network is probably the easiest console store to use, and there are dozens of extra features you can add onto your PS4. Not only is it a great console on its own, but it also has some amazing exclusives. Most of its exclusives belong to well-established franchises, which has caused many gamers to buy a PS4 just to play the next game in their favorite series. Here are some of the must-play PS4 exclusives out there.
A series of action-adventure games released exclusively for PlayStation, the most recent God of War follows Kratos (the series protagonist) and his son, Atreus, as they travel around Norway scattering Atreus’ mother’s ashes. While most of the series is based on Greek Mythology, the most recent game focuses on Norse Mythology instead. This series is graphic and combat heavy, but the focus on Kratos and his son is an interesting change. Whether you’re brand new to the series or are a longtime fan, God of War 2018 is definitely worth checking out.
Zombies were a big hit a few years ago, but the fad has started to die out recently. Games like The Last of Us are what’s really keeping the fad alive. This survival horror game follows the story of Joel, as he tries to escort Ellie, the potential cure for the virus plaguing the world, across the post-apocalyptic US. The gameplay and story are both captivating.
Shadow of the Colossus follows the story of Wander as he hunts down giants. The game is a repeated process of hunting for a Colossus, and killing them as you climb their body. Even if you’ve never heard of this game, you’ve probably seen promotional work for it, as the game is highly acclaimed for its visuals. With its stunning images and addictive gameplay, Shadows of the Colossus is a great game for anyone who loves action-adventures.
While this game is a little more obscure compared to the others on this list, it absolutely deserves its place as one of the best PS4 exclusives. From the makers of Transistor and Bastion, Pyre is a unique high fantasy action-strategy game. Players must strategically fight for control of a center ball and place it in the enemy’s pyre without getting touched. It’s a perfect game for anyone with a competitive spirit, as it also features multiplayer modes.
A franchise that has been popular since its creation in 2002. The series perfectly blends the worlds of Disney and Final Fantasy, while following the story of three young kids. The story is incredible, and the long-anticipated Kingdom Hearts III is finally out. While this game is on both Xbox One and PS4, the other games in the series have been almost entirely PlayStation exclusives. We won’t spoil anything about Kingdom Hearts III, but we will say, the game was definitely worth the wait.
Everyone wants to be Batman. He is one of the most iconic superheroes of all time, and the Arkham City games have brought new life into his franchise. Whether you’ve played other games in the series or Arkham VR is your first one, there is no substitute for getting to play as the dark knight himself. The game lets you take on a variety of classic Batman villains, like the Joker and Penguin, and you truly get to feel like a hero.
It’s impossible to talk about great PS4 exclusives, without talking about the game that break records on its release, Spider-Man. It is one of the few superhero games that features an open-world, meaning there are hundreds of sidequests and opportunities to take. The game took four years to make, and it absolutely shows. The visuals and gameplay are incredibly immersive. You really get to feel like you’re part of Spider-Man’s world.
This is just a fraction of the incredible games that are exclusive to the PlayStation 4. You can find even more on our Softonic Solutions page. You can even add your own favorite exclusives if they aren’t currently listed.
How to customize your gaming background music on PS4
Got a PSP that’s collecting dust? Add some new games with our guide.
The PSP is one of the few gaming consoles with internet capabilities that is outdated and been replaced by a more modern console. That said, the PSP also holds many exclusive games. These games can be incredibly expensive to buy hard copies of, due to the age of the PSP, so the best way to get them is to buy a digital download from a retailer like GameStop. However, if you have a modern internet router, you’ll soon discover that the PSP lacks internet connectivity with most routers these days (at least in their default settings). So how can you download a game without an internet connection?
How to download digital games to your PSP
If you have a PS3
The easiest way to download PSP games is if you have a PS3. PSP games don’t usually take up much space, so even if you don’t have a lot of room on your PS3, you will still probably be able to download the game.
First, you’ll need to make sure the game is on your Sony PlayStation Store account. If you purchased the game from another online retailer, like GameStop, then you will have to enter a “redeem” code on your PlayStation Store account. Afterward, on your PS3 there should be a section for purchased games if you go into the PlayStation Store. Under this section, download the game you want.
Then connect your PSP to the PS3. You can do this with a standard USB cable. You may even use the USB cables that charge PS3 controllers. Afterward, under “games” there should be a section labeled PSP. Here, it will give you the option to copy games onto your PSP if you’ve gone to the “USB connection” section of your PSP (all the way to the left of the main menu). Then just sit back and wait as your PSP receives the game.
If you have Sony MediaGo from before MediaGo was discontinued, then not having a PS3 won’t pose much of a challenge. The steps are essentially the same as downloading the game with a PS3.
First, you’ll need to connect a standard USB cable from your PC into your PSP. Then you’ll need to download the game file from your Sony MediaGo library onto your computer. From there you can find the file in your downloads folder and simply move it into a GAME folder on your PSP. You’ll still have to follow the above instructions to update your PSP if you haven’t.
If you don’t have a PS3 or Sony MediaGo, things start to get more difficult. The only other way to download games onto your PSP is to connect it to your Wi-Fi. As we said earlier, if you have a newer router, then your PSP will likely be unable to recognize the Wi-Fi connection.
There is a way around this, as you can change your Wi-Fi settings so that older devices can read it. You’ll have to log into your router by typing your IP address into the search bar and change the settings to WPA encryption. You’ll also have to make sure your connection is set to channel 11. By changing the encryption type from WPA2 (the default version for most new routers) to WPA, you should be able to see the connection on your device.
You will want to change this back once you’re done, however, since it can mess with your Wi-Fi connectivity on other devices. WPA is also less secure than WPA2, so you don’t want to leave it on this encryption type for long.
An alternative to these options is to purchase a PS Vita. While a PS Vita can’t play cartridge PSP games, it can download and play pretty much any digital PSP title. Since the PS Vita is a system that is still updated regularly, you won’t have to worry about missing out on any older games due to Wi-Fi connectivity. You’ll also be able to keep seeing new games released for the device.
After you’ve finished RDR2, here’s how to complete the bonus mission.
Over the course of Red Dead Redemption 2’s story, the members of Dutch’s gang experience more than their fair share of grief and loss. Living the life of an outlaw means death can come at any time, and a number of your comrades will fall before Arthur Morgan’s story is through. The “Paying Respects” achievement is only available after beating the game, and tasks you with visiting the graves of your fallen friends. This can be a bit difficult to do, since the graves aren’t marked on the map, but we’ve found them for you.
Before reading on, be warned: there are major spoilers ahead.
You can read about young Jenny Kirk in Arthur’s journal. Unfortunately, we never get to meet her, as she dies before the story even begins, during the gang’s ill-fated robbery in Blackwater. You can find her grave along a snowy riverbank north of Colter, the abandoned mining town in the mountains where the game begins.
Davey’s also another character we don’t get to see much of. One of a pair of brothers, both are shot during the Blackwater heist before the start of the game. Davey’s brother dies, but Davey himself manages to hang on before finally expiring shortly after the gang reaches Colter. You can find his grave at the very back of the cemetery next to Colter’s abandoned church.
Sean MacGuire’s graveSean’s grave (northernmost marker)
Poor Sean doesn’t stick around for long. Near the end of the gang’s time in Rhodes, he’ll take an unexpected sniper bullet to the head while on a job with Arthur, Micah, and Bill. The vibrant Irishman’s final resting place can be found in the trees just north of the remnants of the gang’s camp at Clemens Point.
Kieran doesn’t die well. He meets his end while the gang makes their camp at Shady Belle, his gruesome fate serving as a warning from members of his former gang, the O’Driscolls. Despite being a new and somewhat misfit addition to the gang, he still got a proper burial. You can find his grave in a peaceful meadow just south of Bolger’s Blade.
Graves 5 & 6: Lenny Summers and Hosea Matthews
Hosea and Lenny’s gravesHosea and Lenny’s grave markers
These two deaths are particularly devastating. Both Lenny and Hosea meet their ends at the hands of lawmen during the gang’s disastrous bank robbery in Saint Denis. They’re buried side by side, in the shade of a large cypress tree north of the city.
Grave 7: Susan Grimshaw
Susan Grimshaw’s graveSusan Grimshaw’s grave marker
Susan Grimshaw was a tenacious old bird, right up until the end. When Dutch’s gang starts to fall apart and tensions rise at the final camp in Beaver Hollow, Grimshaw pulls a shotgun, but Micah beats her to the draw and she takes a bullet to the gut. She’s buried at the top of a cliff southwest of Elysian Pool, overlooking Roanoke Valley.
Eagle Flies was a headstrong warrior, and that headstrong fighting spirit eventually led to his demise. He takes a bullet during his reckless assault on the Cornwall Oil Fields, and Arthur manages to get him back to the Wapiti Indian Reservation so he can say his final goodbyes to his devastated father, Rains Fall. His grave marker is on a cliff overlooking Donner Falls, with his trusty bandana hanging from a branch.
Grave 9: Arthur Morgan
Arthur Morgan’s graveArthur Morgan’s grave (easternmost marker)
The final and perhaps most gut-wrenching death of all, Arthur finally meets his end at the finale of Red Dead 2’s main story. Though we do see the moment coming due to a diagnosis with terminal tuberculosis earlier in the game, it’s still a very painful goodbye. After one final fight with the law and the turncoat Micah Bell to make sure John Marston and his family can escape to start a new life, Arthur passes away as the sun rises over the Roanoke Ridge Valley. Afterward, Charles Smith returned to retrieve his body, and laid him to rest at the top of a cliff east of Eagle Flies’ grave and northeast of Bacchus Bridge.
Once you’ve visited the 9th and final grave and said your final goodbyes, the “Paying Respects” achievement will be unlocked.
Classic games never die, they just get better graphics. Use your current console to play these great games!
Ever find yourself wishing you could rewind time and go back to the days of the PlayStation One, Xbox, or N64? Don’t worry; you don’t have to dust off your old console to play some of gaming’s most enduring classics. Whether you want to relive your glory days or play a classic title that you never got the chance to, these are 10 of the best remastered titles of yesteryear that you can play right now on your PS4, PC, or Xbox One.
Soul Calibur is one of the most enduring fighting game franchises, noted for allowing players to enter the arena as both original characters and some of media’s most noted fighters, from Darth Vader to Geralt of Rivia. Soul Calibur II was one of the first and most popular titles in the series. This Xbox One remaster breathes new life into the classic, and is perhaps most notable for the addition of online play. Now you’ll be able to experience the classic with players from all over the world as you fight for dominance in revamped versions of classic arenas.
Sly Cooper is one cunning, devious racoon. A master thief hailing from a long line of rogues spanning the generations, Sly uses his family teachings to pull off daring heists and other capers in colorful locales that span the globe. You’ll use stealth and special abilities to rob museums and take down over-the-top villains with your gang. The Sly Cooper trilogy blends together creative platforming, memorable characters, and a unique comic-book graphical style that makes this series just as good as when it first came out on the PlayStation 2. You can play it now on your PS4 via PSNow.
Back in the days of the PlayStation One and Sega Saturn, WipEout was noted for its incredible graphics. Those graphics have received an upgrade for the PS4 and PS4 Pro, allowing players to take in the richly detailed textures and sleek ships in a new way. The collection includes WipEout HD, WipEout HD Fury, and WipEout 2048, as well as some new content and a new ship exclusive to the Omega Collection. The game should also be noted for its soundtrack, which includes an awesome selection of EDM and Trance tracks from the likes of The Chemical Brothers and Kraftwerk.
The Legacy Collection is a must-have for any Mega Man die-hard. Available for every current generation console including PC and the Nintendo Switch, The Legacy Collection includes all 10 original Mega Man adventures. Despite being a 2D sidescroller, the games don’t feel dated, and are still just as entertaining and challenging as when they first came out. The combat is still just as fast-paced and the bosses are still just as tough, and true Mega Man fans will love the inclusion of the nostalgia-inducing Museum mode.
If you were a fan of Final Fantasy, you’ll doubtless remember Final Fantasy X. Blending a deep, rich story with solid combat and gorgeous graphics for the era, those graphics have been updated to create a game that truly withstands the test of time. Pick up this remaster for the PS4 to relive those hours and hours spent in the original. On the other hand, if you’re new to the series, this stunning remaster is the perfect title to jump in with. It’s a true classic and the perfect example of everything that has made Final Fantasy such a lasting franchise.
The Halo series defined a generation of gaming. A flagship title for the Xbox when it first hit the gaming scene, Halo introduced players to Master Chief and a world of sci-fi combat. The series is perhaps most noted for its enduring multiplayer modes and plethora of fan-made content and machinima. This collection includes all of Master Chief’s games, so whether you’re fighting off alien invaders in the campaign or gathering around the TV for some split-screen multiplayer with friends, this remastered collection is a must-have for any Xbox One owner.
Back in the days of the PS One, long before Jak and Daxter and Nathan Drake, Naughty Dog had Crash Bandicoot. This is a total overhaul of the classic Crash trilogy. Fans of other Naughty Dog games will notice familiar platforming mechanics and explore colorful worlds as they collect Wumpa Fruit and fight to take down the unhinged bad guys that populate Crash’s universe. Seeing the trilogy brought to life with current-gen graphics is sure to be a nostalgia trip for any Crash fan.
When Shadow of the Colossus was first released, it was hailed as one of the most gorgeous games on the PS2. Now, it’s been rebuilt from the ground up for the PS4, and is just as gorgeous as ever. You’ll traverse sprawling, epic vistas and fight gigantic bosses in a quest to bring your true love back to life. While the visuals are truly noteworthy, the gameplay is a unique blend of puzzle solving and combat that makes each fight as much of a mental challenge as it is a physical one. This remake truly recaptures the feeling of playing the original back when it was initially released.
Like Crash, Spyro the Dragon is also getting a total overhaul for current console generations. It’s a hotly anticipated title that will take players back to the world of Spyro, and includes not one, but three Spyro games. It’s full of caring details that are sure to please old fans: the original voice actors are reprising their roles and rerecording their lines for the new title, and players will have the option to choose between the original soundtracks and new music written by the game’s original composer. Though it did suffer delays, the game is out on PS4 and Xbox One now.
One of the most anticipated games of the coming year, Resident Evil 2 is a complete rebuild of the classic PlayStation survival horror game. You’ll return to Racoon City and visit terrifying locations rebuilt with gorgeous current generation graphics, experience a revamped story, and revisit the cast of unique characters that bring Resident Evil to life. The horrors and scares that made the first game such an enduring classic are even more chilling on current generation consoles, and a revamped camera and control scheme bring this game into the modern era. Whether this is your first Resident Evil title or you’re a series veteran, this is one remaster you can’t miss. Resident Evil 2 releases in January 2019 for all current generation consoles.
Whether you’re taking a trip down memory lane or experiencing these classic games for the first time, you won’t need a time machine to do so. Simply fire up your console and enjoy your nostalgia trip.

You can play music and video from your phone through your TV. Here’s how to send the content through a gaming console.
While many gaming consoles have their own apps that allow you to control them directly from your phone, most of them don’t have an innate way to allow your phone to stream content onto them. Despite this, practically all current gen gaming devices (such as PS3, PS4, and Xbox One) are able to connect to your phone through a variety of apps. This allows you to use your gaming console as a substitute for an Apple TV or similar televisions that let you stream directly to them. Here is the easiest way to go about this:
How to stream from your phone to your gaming device
This app is currently the best one for both Android and iPhone to use as a streaming tool for gaming consoles. It’s completely free and lets you stream basically any saved content from your phone onto your gaming device. This means you can play home videos or your saved music from your phone directly to your TV. You can also use it to stream Facebook and a few other online services (though most of these can be streamed directly through your gaming console already).
Once the app is installed, you can choose whatever content you want to appear on your gaming console. First, go into the category it would be under (such as camera roll photos), and then download the content you want to share onto the app. After selecting it, you will be promoted to “Choose a screen.” Assuming your phone and gaming device are connected to the same local network, then you will be able to choose the gaming device as an option.
Step 3: Open content on your gaming device
Once everything is set up on your phone, you can open the content on your gaming device by finding the segment that says “iMediaShare.” It should be under the video streaming tab that your gaming console has.
If you don’t like the layout of iMediaShare, Plex is a similar application that you may find helpful. It effectively works the same way, though you’ll have to pay for some of its more advanced features.
