PS5 User Interface Officially Revealed By Sony

The PS5 UI has been revealed by Sony. The news arrives as part of a PlayStation blog post, which digs into the new console's user experience and reveals a few new features coming to the PlayStation 5 when it launches next month. One of the highlights of the new system is the Control Center, which provides "immediate access to almost everything you need from the system," and can be summoned by pressing the PlayStation button on the new DualSense controller. From the Control Center you can see who is online, check the status of downloads, manage your controllers and more. A special 11-minute State of Play showcase launched alongside the blog post, providing an in-depth look at the PS5's UX, which was designed with 4K TVs in mind. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=ps5-ui-screenshots&captions=true"] There's also a brand new feature called Activities which lets players "discover new gameplay opportunities, go back to things you missed, jump directly into levels or challenges you want to play, and much more." Activity cards can be accessed directly from the control centre, and some can be viewed picture-in-picture, meaning you won't have to leave the game to see them. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/10/15/first-look-at-the-ps5-ui"] Sony also notes that they have "rebuilt the entire software stack form the console to the network" to make the user experience faster. "We believe the less time you spend waiting to interact with the system, the more time you will have to spend playing games," the article explains. In other PS5 news, we recently learned that the console's cooling fan determined the size of the next-gen console. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Jordan Oloman is a freelance writer for IGN.
