With the rumors of a PS5 Professional swirling round just lately, we thought it might be a good time to look at what we’d need most out of the up to date console. Whereas some issues are definitely frequent sense, we hope we’d additionally spark a little bit of creativeness in these most desirous about what it might be.
Beneath is all the things we’d need to see included in a doable PlayStation 5 Professional console.
Improved Laborious Drive Storage
Earlier than any doable enlargement, the PS5 comes with a base quantity of 825 GB of cupboard space. Nonetheless, the system partitions a few of this, leaving round 667 GB out there for video games and purposes. Contemplating the PS4 Professional began with 1 TB as inventory, it was a bit of stunning the stronger console wasn’t improved from the perfect PS4 model.
For a very “Professional” model of the PS5, it might want to have no less than 2 TB out there and the identical choices for NVMe storage enlargement. With video games solely getting larger, this can be a relatively apparent requirement.
Extra Simply Accessible USB Ports
In whole, the PS5 has three USB-A ports and one USB-C port. The just lately launched PSVR2 takes up the singular entrance USB-C port, after which there’s the matter of the 2 Sense controllers that every drain on the identical fee. With all that and maintaining the same old DualSense charged? There will not be sufficient ports for all the things that wants them.
It will be good to, on the very least, double the quantity of front-facing USB ports out there with the PS5 Professional to make a distinction in charging as a result of the rear ports are a ache to entry usually.
Much less Goofy Look
I like my PS5, I actually do, however this console is goofy trying. I’m not saying make it a boring rectangle just like the Xbox Collection X, however possibly one thing a bit of extra discreet on a shelf that doesn’t appear to be Seto Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh. As an illustration, each model of the PS4 was good and glossy, so a return to that may be visually pleasing.
I recognize that the shape issue helps with airflow, however possibly this time, Sony can obtain that with one thing that doesn’t look fairly as ridiculous.
Recreation Folders
Whereas this is a bit more OS-based, the truth that we don’t have folders but after they’ve been a part of the PS4 for years is a bit uncommon. Nonetheless, folders didn’t arrive for the PS4 till a few months earlier than the PS4 Professional launched, so there’s some priority.
With there being so many large video games launched for the PS5, there must be a technique to preserve them multi function place and never need to preserve going again to the library when some get pushed out of the house display.
Solely One Model
Whereas it was good that the PS5 launched with a digital-only version, it made the market to search out/buy one a bit of harder. As that is the “Professional” mannequin, it ought to solely have one model with a disc drive. This fashion, if there’s as soon as once more a provide concern, the inventory isn’t break up between two separate console varieties.
This can even absolutely assist with manufacturing and doubtlessly imply there could be much less of a difficulty than there was when the brand new technology started.
Simultaneous Downloads
That is one other OS-related concern that makes even much less sense than folders. The PS4 permits multiple factor to be downloaded at a time, however the PS5 has solely locked it down to 1. Whereas it might be comprehensible when downloading big video games without delay, many instances, I’ve simply wished to obtain a handful of smaller video games, and so they take extra time as a batch than they need to.
A PS5 ought to include a hefty replace (together with folders) that fixes the difficulty with obtain bottlenecking that it shouldn’t actually even have. If the PS4 may do it, why can’t the definitively stronger {hardware}?
