The PS4 was a fantastic console, a platform that both indie and AAA games flocked to and shined on. Bolstered by a varied lineup of first-party exclusives, Sony's fourth console commanded the attention of gamers over the past seven years. While the PS4's success was undeniably a good thing for Sony, it leaves the company with the tough challenge of topping itself.
With the PS5, instead of simply releasing a new console with more horsepower, Sony has taken a bolder step to clearly establish that this is a brand-new generation. The PS5's console design speaks to this, looking less like a PlayStation and more like an evil megacorp's cyberpunk headquarters. It's a brash design that looks nice when standing tall and a little strange when resting on its side, but in either orientation it's undeniably eye-catching. The next-generation machine is big, bold, and next to stablemates like the PS4 Pro, downright intimidating.
Though it may be a cold behemoth in its stature, the PS5 is also warm and inviting when turned on. The menus are all reminiscent of the PS4, creating a sense of familiarity that helps users get their feet planted, but it's also stripped down and streamlined to only the necessities. Installed games stand in a line of up to nine titles on the homepage, capped off by a library button that reveals your full collection. This is similar to the PS4, though unfortunately, there's currently no way to organize these games at launch--whatever was used most recently shows up first, and there are no folders. Sorting sizable libraries by the platform is easy, though, allowing you to parse which games are native to the PS5 in just a few button presses.
