6 Things We Want to See in a PS5 Pro

With the rumors of a PS5 Professional swirling round lately, we thought it will be a good time to look at what we would need most out of the up to date console. Whereas some issues are definitely frequent sense, we hope we would additionally spark a little bit of creativeness in these most fascinated about what it could possibly be.

Beneath is all the things we might wish to see included in a potential PlayStation 5 Professional console.

Improved Laborious Drive Storage

Earlier than any potential enlargement, the PS5 comes with a base quantity of 825 GB of cupboard space. Nonetheless, the system partitions a few of this, leaving round 667 GB obtainable for video games and purposes. Contemplating the PS4 Professional began with 1 TB as inventory, it was a bit of stunning the stronger console wasn’t improved from the perfect PS4 model.

For a very “Professional” model of the PS5, it might want to have no less than 2 TB obtainable and the identical choices for NVMe storage expansion. With video games solely getting larger, it is a fairly apparent requirement.

Extra Simply Accessible USB Ports

In complete, the PS5 has three USB-A ports and one USB-C port. The lately launched PSVR2 takes up the singular entrance USB-C port, after which there’s the matter of the 2 Sense controllers that every drain on the identical fee. With all that and holding the same old DualSense charged? There aren’t sufficient ports for all the things that wants them.

It might be good to, on the very least, double the quantity of front-facing USB ports obtainable with the PS5 Professional to make a distinction in charging as a result of the rear ports are a ache to entry often.

Much less Goofy Look

I really like my PS5, I actually do, however this console is goofy trying. I’m not saying make it a boring rectangle just like the Xbox Sequence X, however perhaps one thing a bit of extra discreet on a shelf that doesn’t seem like Seto Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh. As an example, each model of the PS4 was good and glossy, so a return to that may be visually pleasing.

I recognize that the shape issue helps with airflow, however perhaps this time, Sony can obtain that with one thing that doesn’t look fairly as ridiculous.

Sport Folders

Whereas this is a bit more OS-based, the truth that we don’t have folders but after they’ve been a part of the PS4 for years is a bit uncommon. Nonetheless, folders didn’t arrive for the PS4 till a few months earlier than the PS4 Professional launched, so there’s some priority.

With there being so many massive video games launched for the PS5, there must be a option to maintain them multi function place and never should maintain going again to the library when some get pushed out of the house display screen.

Solely One Model

PlayStation 5 Digital and Disc Versions

Whereas it was good that the PS5 launched with a digital-only version, it made the market to seek out/buy one a bit of harder. As that is the “Professional” mannequin, it ought to solely have one model with a disc drive. This fashion, if there’s as soon as once more a provide difficulty, the inventory isn’t cut up between two separate console sorts.

This may even absolutely assist with manufacturing and doubtlessly imply there could be much less of a problem than there was when the brand new technology started.

Simultaneous Downloads

That is one other OS-related difficulty that makes even much less sense than folders. The PS4 permits a couple of factor to be downloaded at a time, however the PS5 has completely locked it down to 1. Whereas it will be comprehensible when downloading big video games without delay, many occasions, I’ve simply needed to obtain a handful of smaller video games, and so they take extra time as a batch than they need to.

A PS5 ought to include a hefty replace (together with folders) that fixes the difficulty with obtain bottlenecking that it shouldn’t actually even have. If the PS4 might do it, why can’t the definitively stronger {hardware}?
