First Look at the PlayStation 5's UI
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
Looks like the preload option, recognize it from my fifa 21 pre-order last month.
I think it looks clean, I like it! Also, I'm considerably more interested in the sackboy game now too, its so cute!
I think you can reorder/remove the icons, like the quick menu on PS4.I wonder what "customize" means in this context:
Maybe it's just me, but the UI has a certain clean and fluid style I normally associate with Apple's products. Even game icons are rounded edge squares like IOS apps.
The fact that everything (including the PS Store and game guides) is fully integrated is amazing. Give me Twitch/Youtube PiP mode and I'll have everything I wanted from the UI and then some.

That's a good catch. I wonder if theyr'e doing the "preload before you buy it" think like Microsoft.
Legitimate concern though.
The console is out in a month and we're still waiting for Sony to show us some basic features when the Series X is already in the hands of journalists.
This is 100% the preloaded game 'how long till you're able to play it' icon. I see it every time I pre-load a game on my PS4.
Sure not all will and those that do won't all go to the same detail but doing so will likely increase engagement from the player, the player play longer, trade in later and maybe invest in DLC etc along the way, plus potentially have more interest in any future sequel or title from that developer.
One of the other benefits of quick resume is if you receive an invite to a game in your quick resume queue, you could effectively load the game from where you were and be pushed into matchmaking with your friend within seconds.
There was a big focus on 4k in the SoP and I feel like this would've been the time to announce it if they had it.
Probably the same thing as on PS4.I wonder what "customize" means in this context:
That bar is basically the equivalent of the menu that shows in game if you hold the PS button on PS4, which you can customise the items in.
Really like how clean it is, I need to see what it feels like, and how contexual it ends up being.
Finally having Trophy completion percentage after two generations of asking for it is great.
Being able to access your screenshots right from the main menu instead of having to go into system storage is also a huge improvement.

The system also didn't ask if the player wanted to close Sackboy when he switched to Destruction All-Stars, so it's safe to assume that game is suspended in the background.Suspend your games, plural.
Could be, same/similar icon. But generally you do not have to buy games you are preloading... Or being able to play them at all.
Why would that be the time to announce an optional resolution in a State of Play focussed on SOME of the UI functionality? yeah no.
Ding ding ding. It's kids being super protective over their inanimate game system.
I hope so too. It needs to work like it does on the Switch to her me to use it.
But there's several cool features that were shown in this video that the competitor hasn't shown either (voice dictation, PiP sharing, viewing, tips, tricks, chat, streaming, individual task and time tracking, along with correlating cards, instantly jumping into specific activities and so on).
I'd wait for them to both show more before forming conclusions or making final comparisons.
What we know about the PS5 potential quick resume equivalent:
- PS5 can suspend a game and cold boot another in 8 seconds.
- PS5 suspends multiple games.
- PS5 has a game switcher.
Looks really good if not a bit crowded.
Still good. I was immensely disappointed in the recent Xbox Dashboard redesign. It looks fugly in 4K. Like something put together with static raster assets with CSS in a day. It desperately needs a real rewrite.
I think both UIs aged well in this gen. Xbox got faster, more intuitive and overall better, PS4 got much needed features. We are set for the OSs, it's just an added bonus that PS5 UI IMO simply looks better.

I can see myself potentially getting a little confused between the cards and the home menu and switching between the two. And the cards don't seem to have any particular logic to them - wonder how they're arranged? eg there were quite a few of the trophy ones before getting to a MP game that could be joined. And the cards while playing sackboy are for all sorts of different things too (eg Destruction all stars MP match) so is that a 'global' notifications + game specific cards?
So no HDR recording? He only mentioned 4K, so I guess if I have beautiful HDR scenery in a game, that I'd like to share using the new Share function that they promoted, then I guess I'm out of luck, huh? Or was HDR recording already in the PS4 Pro and I just forgot?
I guess that's their approach and that's fine. Each has their benefit and who knows, maybe both companies add something similar to the competition down the line. These OS/UI are just the start.
We haven't seen a multiplatform game with the feature yet, so it's hard to compare. But 8 seconds was longer than some quick resumed games on Xbox took and as you know PS5 SSD is much faster. Thus PS5 SSD using quick resume would be faster, too.
I think their approaches are different. Microsoft uses quick resume, while PS5 has the deep OS integration with cards, which let you jump into a specific level before starting the game it seems. Both methods are better than cold booting a game like shown in the UI video.
I don't think the resources taken will have a huge impact. But it's hard to know, when we know nothing about the resources used by the OS.
To your last paragraph. Yep and that's something many people don't seem to understand. OS and UI are build in a way to stay flexible and you can easily activate or deactivate feature depending on the capabilities of the hardware.
Setting menu i would imagine. They got rid of the classic tool box icon and setting label.I wonder what "customize" means in this context:
Don't know why everyone keeps saying "It doesn't have this, it doesn't have that" when the guy literally told us that there's much more to show than just this.
Damn, probably is..
Still holding out hope for a system wide activity tracker for playtime.
Not a fan of the activities row. Seems more cluttered than its worth.
I do like the integration of the store though.
Gotta try it myself first before I make any judgements but I'm pretty meh about it for now.

its not legitimate. you guys keep comparing these two and every single time you end up looking silly. Literally they are on two different marketing paths and every single time when sony shows their stuff its exactly what every one has been telling you all about your random ass concerns. either wait Or just buy what you want with the info you have. It's like that simple
Except the first time we heard about Activities was when a third party dev (Dirt 5 iirc) talked about adding support for them 🤔
