Did you upload your saves in-game for games like FF7 Remake that have PS5 versions? If you only uploaded to PS+ cloud, that's what you'll be using on PS5 - the PS4 version of the game. If you play the PS5 version of the game, your savefile won't be there.So I was able to get a PS5 disc console from Amazon the other day, and it arrives tomorrow. I have all my PS4 games backed up to an external drive and I made sure all my saves have been uploaded to the cloud. Any other tips and tricks to make the transition from 4 to 5 easier?

“When the new PlayStation Plus service launches, PlayStation Now will transition into the new PlayStation Plus offering and will no longer be available as a standalone service. PlayStation Now customers will migrate over to PlayStation Plus Premium with no increase to their current subscription fees at launch.”

Does the necromancer DLC for Diablo III ever go on sale? The "Eternal Collection" of the game is $20~ on sale right now but I already have the Ultimate Evil edition physical and from what I can tell the only difference is the necromancer DLC, which conveniently isn't on sale and is $15 (!)

Thank you, I’ll have to research what games need in game uploads. I already got the platinum trophy for FF7R, so I’m not sure the Yuffie dlc is worth picking up the PS5 version. But I’ll upload my saves just in case I change my mind.

It's worth noting that ff7 has a free upgrade from what I remember now so you really just have to buy the dlc separately.

Nah, the Yuffie DLC is great. Wait for a good sale, but definitely play it if you're a fan of FF7.
It also adds the ability to get two more gotterdammerungs in the main game (albeit locked behind a difficult fight), so you can have your whole party outfitted with them if you decide to actually replay FF7R instead of just autopopping. It makes for a pretty fun playthrough on hard IMO.

Oh - one last tip - after having to replace a spring in one of my dualsense triggers, I now only use the dualsense on PS5 games. For PS4 games I use a DS4. Changing that spring is a pain in the butt, and mine broke while playing a PS4 game.

I once took a DS3 controller apart to try to fix it and couldn't get the spring back in right. I gave up. lol

Man, reading this brought back memories. Diablo 3 was hell on the L2/R2 buttons of a PS3 controller.

Thank you, I did hear about controller issues before I purchased. Found out Sony is making the newer controllers with tougher springs and joysticks. The way to know if you have new parts or old, is the end of the FCC number on back label ends with an A. Anything else is older tech and prone to failure sooner.

Just buy one of the newer colors (blue, pink, purple) and you're guaranteed to get the revision. Purple is the best looking out of them all anyway imoThank you, I did hear about controller issues before I purchased.

blue and pink are on sale for 59.99 at bj's (kinda like costco and sams club) not sure if the 10$ off a purchase coupon and monthly 10$ coupon can be applied to that but that would drop it further to 49.99/39.99. Hopefully some of you that are planning to buy those have one near by.

VRR support is rolling out this week:
Today, we’re excited to announce that Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support will start rolling out globally to PS5 players this week. On HDMI 2.1 VRR-compatible TVs and PC monitors, VRR dynamically syncs the refresh rate of the display to the PS5 console’s graphical output. This enhances visual performance for PS5 games by minimizing or eliminating visual artifacts, such as frame pacing issues and screen tearing. Gameplay in many PS5 titles feels smoother as scenes render seamlessly, graphics look crisper, and input lag is reduced.* Previously released PS5 games can be fully optimized for VRR through a game patch and future games may include VRR support at launch.
In the coming weeks, the PS5 versions of these titles will receive game patches enabling VRR support:
- Astro’s Playroom
- Call of Duty: Vanguard
- Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
- Destiny 2
- Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition
- DIRT 5
- Godfall
- Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered
- Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales
- Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
- Resident Evil Village
- Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands
- Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege
- Tribes of Midgard
These are just a few of the PS5 titles receiving VRR support and we’d like to thank their talented development teams. Please stay tuned to their channels for updates as you’ll have the best experience with VRR once their game patches are live.
Getting Started
VRR will arrive globally through a PS5 console update over the next few days (make sure you are connected to the internet to receive the update). Once you’ve received the update, VRR will automatically be enabled for supported games if your PS5 console is connected to an HDMI 2.1 VRR-compatible TV or PC monitor. You can also turn it off under “Screen and Video” in system settings.
As an added option, you can also choose to apply VRR to PS5 games that don’t support it. This feature may improve video quality for some games. If this results in any unexpected visual effects, you can turn off this option at any time. Please note that results may vary depending on the TV you’re using, the game you’re playing, and the visual mode you’ve selected for a particular game (if it supports multiple modes). For more details on VRR settings, check out this page: https://www.playstat...esolution-guide.

How many of you actually have a VRR TV though? I don't have a sense of how far behind the times I am technologically. I have a 4k Monitor I use that has a cap of 60 FPS and I feel like I'm unusual among my friends/family who are all using sub 1080 resolution models.

Recently bought a clearanced-out 2021 TCL 55R646. Has VRR. I primarily use it for pc gaming. But I'm glad the ps5 will have the feature when I finally buy the console in ~2 years.

I don't, but I almost bought one at PS5 launch. But I decided to wait til VRR was working on the PS5. I might buy one this year, but who knows.
