PS5 VS XBOX SERIES X
Native stuns
Like the Xbox
Series X, the PS5
can support up
to 8K resolution,
although Sony has
mostly hyped
up its native 4K
capabilities at an
extra-silky 120fps
framerate.Blu Christmas
Unlike the PS4 and
PS4 Pro, it can play
4K Blu-ray discs.
Most people seem
to manage with
streaming these
days, but if you’re
an AV die-hard,
breathe a sigh
of relief.Flat white
While most official
images show the
PS5 standing
upright with the
included stand,
you can indeed
lay it flat if that’s
a better fit for
the setup around
your telly.Strap yourself in
The DualSense
gamepad has
adaptive triggers
and provides more
precise and varied
haptic feedback
all around the
controller. And
yes, it looks like
a swimsuit.Sony doesn’t have an equivalent to
Xbox Game Pass, but PS5 owners
who subscribe to PlayStation
Plus will be able to access a
free selection of top PS4 games
including such gems as God of War,
Uncharted 4, Final Fantasy XV, The
Last of Us Remastered, Persona 5,
Bloodborne, Resident Evil 7:
Biohazard and more. You won’t
get brand new stuff in the mix
as you do with Game Pass, but
at least it’s a brilliant backlog
that you can dig back into
in the months and
years ahead.PLAYSTATION PLUS
