Activity Cards and Haptics are the Current PS5 Breakout FeaturesĮvery review of the PlayStation 5 highlights two things: how big it is, and the new Activities option built into game menus. But because we’re mostly seeing comparisons of how the PS5 and XSX compare on last-generation titles, there’s not a lot of hard data about how they’re going to compare in the games people actually intend to play from 2020 ~ 2027.

These are soft launches compared with what we’re used to, and the biggest advantage of either the PlayStation 5 or the Xbox Series X today is how adroitly they handle games that their predecessors choked on, and how quietly they do it. I think it’s useful to keep this in mind when you read coverage of either platform. The Verge really likes the Sony PS5 DualSense controller.
