PlayStation 5 has an SSD to support game streaming, an AMD GPU consisting of 4K resolution display at 120 frames per second, a Tempest Engine for hardware-accelerated 3D audio effects, alongside hardware-accelerated ray tracing for realistic lighting and reflections.
PS5's controller is a reinvented DualSense controller, built to support backward compatibility with a host of PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR games, including the PlayStation VR2 headset.
Both the base model and the digital-edition model have 825GB in-built storage capacity, however only 667.2GB can be used.
