The PlayStation 5 is a video game console developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment and manufactured by Sony, released on November 19, 2020 and is a 9th-generation video game console.

The PlayStation 5 is powered by a single AMD's semi-custom SoC containing a 8-core AMD x86-64 Zen 2 CPU and a 36-CU AMD RDNA 2 GPU, with 16GB of unified memory (GDDR6). It has a built-in SSD (with 5GB/s of transfer speed) as its storage media that can be expanded with a M.2 NVMe SSD and utilize the UltraHD Blu-Ray Disc as its game media format. Throughout its life-cycle, two more revised models with detachable disc drive were released: a smaller Slim model that now sporting the full 1 TB of storage instead of 825 GB on the previous model, and a more powerful PlayStation 5 Pro, which has a semi-custom SoC that now contains a 60-CUs AMD RDNA 3 GPU with upgraded ray tracing engine for graphical power increase, a XDNA 2 NPU for image upscaling and 2 TB of storage.

Its primary controllers are the DualSense and the DualSense Edge. The PlayStation 5 is backward-compatible with PlayStation 4 games.

As of July 2024, there are no PlayStation 5 emulators available.
