The PlayStation 5 (PS5) is a home video game console developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Announced in 2018 as the successor to the PlayStation 4, the PS5 was released by Sony on November 12, 2020, in most countries.
The platform launched in two varieties: a base model with an Ultra HD Blu-ray-compatible optical disc drive that retailed for $499 and a Digital Edition lacking this drive that retailed for $399, serving as a lower-cost variant for consumers who prefer to buy games through digital download.
It uses a custom 8-core AMD Zen 2 processor running at 3.5GHz, supported by 16GB/256-bit GDDR6 Ram, with 512MB of DDR4 RAM (used as SSD controller cache). It is also the first PlayStation console to use an SSD for storage.
The console’s architecture is very similar to that of a PS4, so a PS4 emulator may support PS5 in the future, similar to how Dolphin supports Wii while originally being a GameCube emulator.
