Are you looking for the ultimate gaming experience? The new PS5 is the answer. But how do you make it your primary console? Read on to find out!
Introduction to the PS5
The PlayStation 5, or PS5 for short, is the latest in Sony’s video game console series. It features a powerful processor and an advanced graphics engine to bring you immersive gaming experiences and cinematic visuals on a 4K television.
The PS5 comes with two configurations – one with an Ultra HD Blu-Ray disc drive and the other without one – so you can choose the best setup for your gaming needs. Additionally, it has a larger 1TB hard drive than its predecessor so you can store more games, movies and music.
Perhaps just as important as the hardware is that PS5 runs on the new system software, PlayStation 5 Operating System (PS5 OS). This new system is designed to provide a better user experience with faster load times, easier access to games and even greater ease of use when playing online.
Set up your PS5 correctly and take advantage of all its features – including advanced graphics rendering, powerful sound performance, faster loading speeds and improved online stability – to maximize your gaming experience.
Benefits of Making the PS5 Your Primary Console
Making the PlayStation 5 your primary console has several benefits. One of the main advantages is that you’re able to take advantage of features like Remote Play and Share Play. Remote Play lets you access your PS5 from anywhere in the world, allowing you to enjoy the smooth, blazing-fast experience with your PS5 from anywhere. Meanwhile, Share Play allows you to share your current gameplay session with a friend over the internet.
The PS5 also features enhanced backward compatibility with existing PS4 games and accessories, as well as a range of new features designed to make gaming an even more enjoyable experience on Sony’s latest console. Playing compatible titles on the PS5 can offer up to 4K visuals at up to 120 frames per second (fps). Additionally, some older titles will benefit from improved textures, faster loading times, faster frame rates and improved performance in online games.
Another benefit of making the PlayStation 5 your primary console is that you’ll have access to its wide library of seriously impressive exclusives. From ultra-fast action adventures such as Spiderman: Miles Morales and Demon’s Souls to more cinematic experiences such as The Last Of Us Part II and Ghost Of Tsushima—the quality selection on offer for PS5 owners make it impossible for gamers to not find something they love among all these options! Additionally, picking up a digital version or physical disc copy of any exclusive title means it will automatically be tied into your account when placed onto a primary PlayStation 5 console.

Once you’ve unboxed and plugged in your PlayStation 5 Console, it’s time to get up and running. Here are the steps to do that:
- Connect your PS5 console to a display device Using the HDMI cable that came with your console, connect one end of the cable to the back of the PS5, and the other end to your selected display (such as your TV or monitor).

- Power up the PS5 console After plugging in all necessary cables, press and hold down on both Trigger buttons (L2 & R2) while pressing down on either Start Option button until a beeping sound is heard from the console to turn it on. Alternatively, you can also turn on/off your console from its main power button found on its back side by connecting it directly into an outlet (or for a wireless option), power it up with a remote control if one displays itself in the main menu when turning on device for first time.

How to Connect the PS5 to Your TV
Connecting your PS5 to your television is an important part of setting up your console. Once correctly connected, you’ll be able to take advantage of all the features and capabilities that the PlayStation 5 has to offer.
Before getting started, you’ll need an appropriate HDTV or monitor capable of displaying 4K at 120 Hz and HDR video. The PS5 comes with a HDMI 2.1 cable, so make sure that your TV is compatible with this type of cable.
When connecting the PS5 to your TV, begin by plugging one end of the HDMI cable into the back of the console in an HDMI port labeled “HDMI OUT”. Then, plug the other end into one of your TV’s HDMI ports labeled “HDMI IN” or “HDMI ARC/eARC”. After successfully making this connection, turn both devices on and use the remote control for each to adjust the output settings accordingly. This will likely involve adjusting settings such as resolution, refresh rate and color depth to match what is available on each device for optimal performance when set as a primary console for playing games or watching content. Lastly, switch the input source on both consoles so it is displayed properly on your TV screen.
Once all these steps have been completed you can begin using your PS5 as a primary console for entertainment and gaming!
How to Transfer Your Data from Your Old Console to the PS5
Transfering between consoles will save you a lot of time and effort. To transfer your data from your old console to your PS5, you’ll first need to back-up your data. Once you’ve completed a successful backup, you’ll be able to move it to the new console. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do that:
- Connect both consoles to the same network using an ethernet cable or a Wi-Fi connection.
- Go into the settings on each console and enable Data Transfer using either Wi-Fi or an ethernet cable connection.
- On your old console, select “Data Transfer” and then choose “Send Data” and select what items (saved games, screenshots etc.) you want to transfer over.
- On the PS5, select “Receive Data” to begin transferring all selected data from the old system over to the new one.
- Wait for the entire process to be completed before disconnecting either console from any networks or cords used for data transfer.
- When it’s complete, restart both systems and log in with your user accounts so everything will be ready for use on both systems!
