It’s compact and durable and just looks hardcore. It’s a super-fast HDD with the potential storage capacity for 125 games. The WD_Black P10 external drive for PS5 comes in 2,4 and 5 terabyte sizes. At some point, almost everyone will want to add an external drive to their setup. We all know that’s a bit of stretch because after you toss in the operating system you only have 667 gigs available for games or other media. If you’re into fancy RGB lighting effects, the NexiGo has you covered there, too. Plus, there’s a hook for a headset, a slot for an external drive, remote control, and a library of physical disks, if that’s still your jam. It includes a mount for your console and integrated charging stations for two DualSense controllers. The PS5 is an eye-catching piece of technology, so you want peripherals that fit with Sony’s distinctive-looking machine. So, whether you or your special someone scored a console at launch or are just about to plug one in, the future is bright. FromSoftware’s Elden Ring and Guerilla Games’ Horizon Forbidden West are both PlayStation exclusives. What’s really exciting for new PS5 owners is just about the time they finish one of last year’s games, a couple of new, very highly-anticipated games will be poised for release. Oh, and looking back just a little to the launch of PS5 a year ago or so, no library is complete without Demon’s Souls (the reason I personally bought the machine) or Spider-man: Miles Morales. Check out Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, Psychonauts 2, Deathloop, Tales of Arise, The Ascent, Monster Hunter Rise…we could go on and on. Just about every great game this year appeared on the PS5, whether exclusive or not. Happily, a new save anywhere system definitely takes a little of the sting out of those inevitable and frequent deaths. Returnal is more hardcore, a roguelike sci-fi action RPG that sends players back to the beginning when they fail. It has production values that definitely show off the potential of Sony’s new machine.
Ratchet and Clank is one of those games that will probably appeal to just about everyone. Two of our favorites are Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart and Returnal.
