PlayStation
PlayStation is Sony’s console platform, and this section is our overview of it. We cover the PS5 and PS5 Pro consoles and what’s known so far about PS6, the games and exclusives released on PlayStation, the PlayStation Plus subscription and its tiers, and practical things around the console, from moving games and data over from an older console to the DualSense controller.
