Unveiling the Hidden Potential of Your PS5
If you've had your PS5 for a while, you might think you've explored all its features. Yet, there's a world of possibilities waiting to be discovered. From enhancing graphics to voice commands, we've got some gems that'll make your PS5 experience even better.
Unlock Game's Full Potential with PS5 Pro Enhancements
Many popular games have received updates for PS5 Pro Enhanced, available on the PlayStation Store. To access these improvements, simply enter the game and look for the settings menu.
