Sony PlayStation 5 – we know the appearance of the new console interface
Source: Pure PC added 16th Oct 2020Last week, Sony presented a detailed video without any announcement, in which the company’s engineer dismantled the completely new PlayStation 5 console and showed its individual structural elements. Today, in turn, the producer also published a new episode of State of Play without any announcement. It was entirely devoted to the upcoming Japanese device, and the focus was primarily on the appearance of the operating system and how everything works around the new console. We would like to remind you that the premiere of PS5 in Poland will take place 19 November, and the suggested price for the motorized version is 2299 PLN and 1849 PLN in the case of editing without the built-in Ultra HD Blu-ray drive.
Sony quite unexpectedly presented a new episode of State of Play entirely devoted to the PlayStation 5 operating system.
After starting the console, we will see an elegant animation board – it has already appeared in previous leaks and rumors, and now it has been finally confirmed. The new UX look has been designed with the gamer in mind (or at least that’s what Sony promotes). At first glance, we can notice, above all, enlarged game tiles. The manufacturer boasts two main interface. The first is Control Center, the second is Activities. In the Contol Center panel, which will be a kind of command center, we will have a quick overview of such elements as our own profile, viewing fresh notifications and information on the DualSense charge level. From the Control Center level, you will also be able to instantly change the sound and microphone settings, which will certainly be useful during screenings in online games.
The Control Panel will appear when the game is frozen (pausing for a moment and exiting the game to the interface without shutting down the game itself). What is certainly impressive is the rapid movement between Control Center and the game. We see not only the Control Panel itself, but also the constantly running game in the background – just press the appropriate button on the pad and in the same second we return to the game. The use of the new Create button was also confirmed, which allows you to capture screenshots and videos in 4K resolution. The tiles that can be found in the Control Panel also allow you to quickly switch between games. While the interface doesn’t look completely different compared to the PlayStation 4, the company argues that it was built from scratch to also take advantage of the new SSD. In addition, along with the new UX, a renewed PlayStation Store will be made available, which will be an integral part of the interface. Sony, however, has not yet shown how the store will present itself.
