Some of the Best PS5 Games Take Full Advantage of The Console's Hardware

gamerant.com:

Despite the PlayStation 5 being out for well over a year now, many gamers are still unable to purchase a console of their own due to worldwide shipping issues, graphics chip shortages, and a range of other issues on the individual and global scale. If a PlayStation fan is unable to spend a significant portion of their day refreshing social media and storefronts, then the likelihood of them getting a PS5 anytime soon is pretty low.

For the lucky few that own the console, its new hardware and features have all but revolutionized how some play games. With every new AAA that releases on the next-gen console, the sparkly new hardware is shown off in a new light, and the console continues to appear more and more impressive. A powerful SSD, a vastly improved GPU and CPU, built-in 3D audio, and the new DualSense controller all come together to make the PS5 a truly next-gen console.

Latest PlayStation Store Sale Has Games for Under $15

One of the key pieces of hardware shown off in all the marketing prior to the PS5's release, the 825 GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe Solid-State Drive, also known as an SSD, gives the PlayStation 5 an immediate leg-up over its predecessor. Put simply, the SSD in the PS5 drastically reduces the load time of the games that use the memory device.

The SSD's effect on PlayStation 5 games is immediately noticeable, with the vast majority of PlayStation 5 games loading within mere seconds. Spider-Man: Miles Morales and the Marvel's Spider-Man remaster are two shining examples of the PS5's SSD, with last-gen versions taking around 30 seconds to load into the game, and the PS5 version taking literally only a few seconds. From the PlayStation 5 home-screen, players can be swinging around New York in just under 10 seconds.
