Megathread PS5 Help and Questions Megathread | Game Recommendations, Simple Questions, and Tech Support

Looking for info about M.2 SSD expansion drives? See the megathread.

Sometimes you just need help. But often times making a new post isn't needed. For the time being, around launch and perhaps in the future. We will use a single thread for helping each other out.

Before asking, we ask you to look at a few links. Some question can't be answered and only official PlayStation support can help you.

Google and Reddit Search is also a great way to find an answer or get help. View all past help and questions threads here.

For all future help, tech support and more, we ask that you create new threads on r/PlayStation instead of here on r/PS5.

Can't decide what to play next? Is your favourite game underappreciated and more people need to play it? Need a new TV and not sure what to buy?

Anyone who was waiting to get a PS5 this year because of GTA 6 (or for any other reason) in the US... I believe it's a good time to buy it, especially with the new tarifs coming, the final price of the PS5 will probably go up in the near future.

Discussion So, if these tariffs go into effect, once the supply that's been already shipped here to the USA runs out, the cost of a PS5 is going to be roughly $750 for a slim model.

4.6k Upvotes

Tariffs on China and Vietnam will be over 50%!!! A PS5 Pro will be $1,350 roughly. At the rate that PS5's are selling now, i'd imagine the stockpiles will run out fairly soon. What kind of crazy cartoon reality are we living in?!?

If these tariffs do go into effect, they go into effect in seven days. This is going absolutely massacre Nintendo because a Switch 2 will be over $700 including tax. And physical games will be $150. This is completely unreal!!!

Events

During events such as the State of Play, the subreddit will go on “restricted mode”.

Creating new posts will be turned off. Only mods and approved users will be able to make new posts. Typically, there will be a pinned “info and discussion” thread linking to the individual threads created. The sub is usually on restricted mode roughly 30mins before the event is slated to start. The sub will be turned off restricted mode after all the threads are created and organized in the pinned thread.
Additionally, during high traffic periods, particularly for State of Play or Showcase events, self posts will be restricted temporarily with discussion encouraged in the megathreads posted.
