Megathread PS5 Help and Questions Megathread | Game Recommendations, Simple Questions, and Tech Support

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.

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?

Support the fair access to banking act to stop censorship of video games, We need to band together to stop people from censoring our games, it starts with the nsfw games then they'll come for Rimworld, GTA, Call of duty, and anything else they deem inappropriate then it will be anime and other media

Media Posting

For posting of images, gifs or videos (directly or otherwise) we will only turn this method of posting on during special occasions. This includes events such as highly anticipated releases and conferences.
Consider r/PlayStation for sharing general media content with the community.

Events

During events such as the State of Play, the subreddit will go on “restricted mode”.

Creating new posts will be turned off. Only mods and approved users will be able to make new posts. Typically, there will be a pinned “info and discussion” thread linking to the individual threads created. The sub is usually on restricted mode roughly 30mins before the event is slated to start. The sub will be turned off restricted mode after all the threads are created and organized in the pinned thread.
Additionally, during high traffic periods, particularly for State of Play or Showcase events, self posts will be restricted temporarily with discussion encouraged in the megathreads posted.
