The new Dual Sense gamepad has become larger, which is convenient for people with large hands, and has acquired long handles that resemble fangs. Innovative technologies have been introduced: improved tactile feedback and adaptive triggers that adjust resistance based on gameplay. That is, the gamer will feel, for example, the effort when opening a heavy door in the game.
While these technologies are supported by a small number of games, it will grow with the proliferation of the PS5. You also need to know that the new console fully works only with DualSense. PS4 controllers are only activated in backward compatible games. Not the easiest point to compare, since the game libraries of both consoles will expand over time, and the choice of new games at the start of sales of consoles is traditionally limited. At the same time, real exclusives, which will work only on the Xbox, will not appear even later: all the games will become available on the PC.
Optimization of dozens of old projects for the new console improved the situation a little — they received updated graphics. PlayStation 5 offered exclusive games right from the launch. An important point: if a gamer already had or has a prefix from one of the manufacturers, then it becomes easier to make a choice. By adhering to the same platform as before, you can play already purchased games and the sequels of your favorite series, as well as continue to use your usual services.
Want to know about Virtual Reality Gaming. Sony and Microsoft update their consoles every few years, and game developers periodically release sequels to popular projects. Some consoles support backward compatibility, with which a gamer can play games from previous generations of consoles on their current console.
This is very useful when a person wants to get acquainted with a large game series that started on old consoles. Both newer consoles offer backward compatibility, but they are different. The PlayStation 5 plays almost all PS4 games. Projects for PS3 and older consoles can be evaluated using a subscription to the PlayStation Now cloud service, which does not yet cover Russia. These are thousands of old games that can be downloaded over the Internet or run directly from disk on a new console — a huge advantage for avid gamers.
Only Kinect projects are not supported. Both consoles provide several subscription options. For multiplayer games, the gamer depending on the console will need to get a PS Plus subscription for rubles per year or Xbox Live Gold, which costs rubles per year. In addition to the very possibility of online play, each service offers several free games every month , and PS5 owners will additionally receive a library of 20 hits for the PlayStation 4, including Uncharted 4 and Bloodborne.
In addition, exclusive bonuses and discounts, EA Play status, as well as access to Xbox Game Studio projects on release day and cloud games for Android smartphones are offered. The cost of Game Pass Ultimate reaches 10 thousand rubles per year. Sony does not have a full-fledged alternative to such a subscription in Russia. Elsewhere, PS Now provides access to hundreds of games for older consoles. Moreover, the list of available services is gradually expanding.
Consoles can play movies in 4K or even 8K-resolution with HDR support — both from physical media and online.
However, in the years that followed, both Microsoft's Kinect and Sony's PS4 Camera have fallen out of favor and popularity. The latter has gained a new lease on life as an essential part of the PlayStation VR ecosystem, but outside of this remains almost entirely unused.
That's a shame because, at one point, the new Kinect technology looked very promising, tracking up to six skeletons at once and processing 2GB of data per second. It could even pick up heart rates, facial expressions and 25 joints, thumbs included. Xbox One Kinect was certainly powerful, it just needed more games. Right now, there are few reasons to keep the p camera plugged in, especially since the whole platform has been shuttered. The PlayStation camera doesn't have as much to offer at this point either, but it's hard to find in stock.
Formerly called the PlayStation Eye, it features two 1, x pixel cameras in a body that's slimmer than the Kinect. The included robot mini-game The Playroom has been updated since the console launch, but little else besides the Just Dance series requires the device. You will, however, need a PlayStation camera if you want to use a PlayStation VR , since the headset uses the camera to know where your head is.
With the PSVR, the camera has fast-changed from an optional accessory to an essential piece of kit. Both the PS4 and Xbox One now have substantial games libraries.
The PS4 has just over 2,, of which over are PS4 exclusives, while the Xbox One has about nearly 2, games — with less half the number of exclusives the PS4 has.
The Halo and Gears of War series stand above all others on Xbox One if you're into shooter games, while Cuphead features some fantastic, colorful boss battle action and Sea of Thieves offers a high-seas multiplayer experience like no other.
Halo: The Master Chief Collection lets us relive all the old classics, although the experience was somewhat spoiled by a number of technical problems that have never been fully solved. The Xbox platform also stands apart thanks to Xbox Game Pass. This subscription service gives players access to a rotating list of more than games for a monthly fee and first-party Xbox games come to it on release day.
One Xbox One game on the horizon that will arrive on the service is Halo Infinite , which is sure to be one of the best games on the Xbox One. Microsoft's number of exclusives pales compared to Sony, though the former is clearly making a concerted effort to amend this with the creation of five new gaming studios and numerous acquisitions, including Bethesda. Either way, the quality and quantity of Sony's exclusives have really impressed us this generation.
Even in its later years, the PS4 is still coming out with generation-defining exclusives, Ghost of Tsushima and the five-star The Last of Us 2 being two stand-out examples of this. It's worth bearing in mind that when it comes to the next generation Xbox is supporting cross-generation play so all of its new releases are going to work on your Xbox One for a good while.
Sony on the other hand is looking to embrace PS5 exclusives , so if you're looking for a current-gen console with staying power the Xbox One could come out on top. Sony is, of course, offering backwards compatibility between the PS5 and the PS4 and there are upgrades from current-gen to next-gen versions of games on offer but there will be new PS5 games in the future that you won't be able to access on your PS4 while Microsoft is promising it won't have any Xbox Series X exclusives for the first few years, and that Xbox One players won't be left behind in the leap to next-gen.
Want to say up-to-date on the latest top titles on each platform? Our most-wanted PS4 games list doesn't end there, because Sony got out in front of supporting independent game developers. Meanwhile, the Xbox One has also seen some excellent smaller games, including Ori and the Blind Forest. Xbox Game Pass has also given these indie gems a much bigger platform that allows players to try out titles they maybe wouldn't have otherwise.
Indie games have exploded on each console over the last few years, thanks to both Sony and Microsoft enacting policies and releasing tools that all but eliminates the barrier to entry of developing for each system.
Ultra HD Blu-rays are the latest and greatest disc format, and offer the best audio and video quality if you're looking to watch movies at home. The amount of discs available is slightly thin on the ground as it currently stands, but the situation is sure to improve in the future as the number of 4K releases ramps up. The limitations of streaming mean that the image quality won't quite be as good as physical media, but it's a much cheaper way to access 4K content. Of course, most third-party apps are shared across both platforms.
One key difference between the consoles as they currently stand is access to 4K streaming services. That contrasts with PS4. More niche apps are expected as time goes on, so this is hardly the final list of apps for Xbox One and PS4. After teasing Xbox emulation, Microsoft announced Xbox One backward compatibility for Xbox games. This was expanded to original Xbox games at E3 Over disc and downloadable Xbox and Xbox titles will work on Xbox One, and the features of the newer console — like streaming and taking screenshots — crosses over to older games.
Microsoft launched Xbox One backward compatibility in November , and a recent update saw its functionality expanded to include multi-disc games. Since then, the manufacturer has continued to bring more and more games to the console. Microsoft's game subscription service, Xbox Game Pass, has allowed subscribers to delve into hundreds of Xbox games from past and present, bringing a large number of Xbox titles to one platform as well as some EA titles and Bethesda titles.
Sony's PlayStation Now service, like Game Pass, is a game subscription service that, in exchange for a flat monthly fee, gives you access to a library to hundreds of games. In terms of quantity of games, it wins out but Xbox has the edge when it comes to quality as Xbox puts its latest releases on Game Pass on day one, which PlayStation doesn't with PS Now. That means you'll need to keep your Xbox and PS3 in order to play more niche games that haven't been made backwards compatible on Xbox One or haven't been added to PlayStation Now.
The look of the console, the feel of the controller and the appeal of the games list are the main differences from which consumers will decide between the PS4 and the Xbox One. However, there are other factors at play one should consider before buying into a new system. At the top of that list is a significant question: where do most of your friends play? While limited cross-platform multiplayer options are rolling out, you don't want to be split up from your friends when playing the top titles on either platform.
Both Microsoft and Sony are charging for multiplayer this console generation, whereas PS3 gamers got to log into matches for free. Sony sadly moved closer to Microsoft in this way, while Microsoft moved closer to Sony by tearing down the Xbox Live app paywall. You no longer have to subscribe to stream Netflix and other apps. The PS4 vs Xbox One comparison has evolved in the past few years, mostly because Microsoft's plans have shifted: from Xbox One price drops to more lenient paywall policies to graphics specs upgrades.
Now that we've taken you through the positives and negatives of each console you've probably got a good idea of which is the one for you. If we go by numbers, the PS4 has won this console war, selling million units and becoming the second best-selling console behind the PS2. Meanwhile, Microsoft won't reveal the Xbox One sales, but they're predicted to be between 30 and 70 million.
The PS3 was first announced at the E3 gaming conference in Although originally given a worldwide release date in November , its release in Europe was pushed back until March Microsoft began to develop the Xbox in They held an event for developers to recruit support for the system, and hired Peter Moore, the former president of Sega, to work on the project.
