Looking for info about M.2 SSD expansion drives? See the megathread.


Sometimes you just need help. But often times making a new post isn't needed. For the time being, around launch and perhaps in the future. We will use a single thread for helping each other out.

Before asking, we ask you to look at a few links. Some question can't be answered and only official PlayStation support can help you.

PlayStation Official

Community Help

Google and Reddit Search is also a great way to find an answer or get help. View all past help and questions threads here.

For all future help, tech support and more, we ask that you create new threads on r/PlayStation instead of here on r/PS5.


Can't decide what to play next? Is your favourite game underappreciated and more people need to play it? Need a new TV and not sure what to buy?

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty

Phantom Liberty, a new spy-thriller adventure to Cyberpunk 2077, arrives on September 26th (CEST) for PlayStation 5 — pre-order now and receive the following goodies when the expansion launches:

  • 3 premium Phantom Liberty-themed avatars for your PlayStation Network profile
  • In-game access to the Quadra Sport R-7 "Vigilante"

ABOUT THE GAME

Phantom Liberty is a new spy-thriller adventure for Cyberpunk 2077. When the orbital shuttle of the President of the New United States of America is shot down over the deadliest district of Night City, there’s only one person who can save her — you. Become V, a cyberpunk for hire, and dive deep into a tangled web of espionage and political intrigue, unraveling a story that connects the highest echelons of power with the brutal world of black-market mercenaries.

Infiltrate Dogtown, a city-within-a-city run by a trigger-happy militia and ruled by a leader with an iron fist. With the help of NUSA sleeper agent Solomon Reed (Idris Elba) and the support of Johnny Silverhand (Keanu Reeves), unravel a web of shattered loyalties and use your every skill to survive in a fractured world of desperate hustlers, shadowy netrunners, and ruthless mercenaries. Built with the power of next-gen hardware in mind, Phantom Liberty offers brand-new gameplay mechanics, nail-biting courier jobs, gigs, and missions — and a thrilling main quest where freedom and loyalty always come at a price.

Discussion Millionth BG3 post

54 Upvotes

I understand there is a lot of hype and buzz around this game but I really wanted to give another perspective. So I am a gamer, but I find way less games that actually "hook" me. This is one of those games.

My favorite games are tlou 1 and 2, red dead redemtion 2, ghost of tsushima, bloodborne and mass effect for single player and multiplayer id say hunt showdow and hell let loose. I have never enjoyed a turn based game and honestly fantasy games as a whole are sort of miss for me. I have sat in on a d&d game night with some friends but have never really participated beyond that. Buying BG3 was a very risky gamble for me as the only thing I knew about this game was that it was turn based and that it was getting very positive feedback.

When I first started playing, I was sort of disappointed. I was getting my ass handed to me, didn't understand mechanics and felt like I was struggling to understand story and lore. However, I stuck with it and now have nearly 90 hours in it. The story just keeps getting better for me. The characters are rich and the narrative is very engaging. I am already planning my next play through. When I am not playing, I am thinking about playing and reading lore online.

It has been a very very long time since I was this invested in a video game story.

If you are on the fence about this game, I defintely recommend picking it up!

Anyways, thats it. Happy gaming, everyone!

Discussion Games you’re aiming to beat by the time Spider-Man 2 comes out

79 Upvotes

You have until Oct 20 for the Spider-Man 2 release. If you’re planning on getting it on release day, what games do you want to clear off your plate to make room? Here are mine:

  1. Armored Core 6 - in progress. I was taking my sweet time but Oct 20 is closing in.

  2. Lies of P - owned and unopened. Looking forward to this one but AC 6 is so good and I’m so bad at mech games.

  3. Final Fantasy XVI - Bought it on sale last night. It’s on the way.

  4. Elden Ring “spiked caestus run” - I will never tire of this game. This would be my fourth run. I’m currently in the Mountaintops. Spiked Caestus have turned out to be my favorite weapon ❤️
