										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>PS5 Web Browser is a hidden application that has not been enabled by default for users, but can be used to browse the Web just like it was built to. Much as the Playstation 3 and <a href="https://techpointmag.com/connect-a-ps4-dualshock-4-controller-on-ps5/" data-type="post" data-id="14029">Playstation 4 </a>generation consoles had the Web browser right on the XMB screen, the PS5 Web Browser on the other hand is not activated on the main applications list.</p>



<p>Well, the good news is that you can bypass this restriction and use the PS5 Web Browser through In-Game links and Social network redirects from platforms like Twitter that allow you to access direct web links. By Default, the online user manual is an ideal location to access the hidden Ps5 Web browser, but that&#8217;s not all.</p>



<p>The Sony Playstation Network (PSN) allows you to link your social profiles and Twitter is one of the main services you can link in order to have your friends follow you on the bluebird platforms. So, if you&#8217;re planning to access the Web browser on your PS5, the current shortcut you can take is linking other services with your account, and here is how.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Opening the PS5 Web Browser</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>From your Main PS5 Applications Dashboard, Locate and Enter settings (Press X)</li><li>OR, simply long press the PS button on your <a href="https://techpointmag.com/the-ps5-dualsense-controller/" data-type="post" data-id="9879">Dual Sense controller</a> to access the quick menu and locate Settings</li><li>Under Settings, Go to Users and accounts</li><li>Then click Link with Other Services</li><li>Under the list of servciues to link, Choose Twitter to be automaticaly redirected to a Login page</li><li>Now Login with your Twitter Account username and Password</li><li>Once Logged in, search for Websites and Links you wish to access on Twitter E.g: A Web article shared on Twitter</li><li>Once you Open a Link, you will autmaticallly be redirected to the PS5 Web Browser from where you can browse more on the Internet</li><li><strong>DONE: </strong>Enjoy Browsing the Internet on your Ps5 Console</li></ul>



<p>As a point to note, the current PS5 firmware does not come with the Ps5 Web browser as a default application you can use. By this, you can&#8217;t enter custom URL links or potentially search content by simply clicking the browser as it is on the Ps4 and Ps3 consoles.</p>



<p>But since the PS5 is a fresh-on-the-scene console, we expect Web Browsers like Google Chrome and Firefox o be works in progress similar to movie streaming Apps like <a href="https://techpointmag.com/how-to-stream-netflix-in-4k-on-your-computer/" data-type="post" data-id="14682">Netflix</a>, <a href="http://primevideo.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amazon Prime</a> among other Apps that braced the Playstation store. For now, Link Twitter with your account and access direct links from the platform or locate the google.com Link in your Feed to use the hidden PS5 Web browser with ease.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>MTN Uganda in partnership with ATechnos – a global mobile gaming services provider, has today launched a new Free gaming platform dubbed MTN GoGames. The platform allows Yello customers to access a catalogue of in-browser mobile games without paying any <a href="https://techpointmag.com/list-of-mtn-uganda-data-bundles-you-can-load/" class="rank-math-link">data connection fees</a>, nor subscription fees for an account.</p>



<p>The new MTN GoGames platform can run on popular mobile web browsers like Firefox, <a href="https://techpointmag.com/enable-picture-in-picture-mode-on-google-chrome/" class="rank-math-link">Google Chrome</a>, <a href="https://techpointmag.com/full-list-of-microsoft-edge-shortcuts-for-windows/" class="rank-math-link">Edge</a> Mobile, among others. On the platform, most games are free, but others have a premium fee tagged to them which requires customers to subscribe to a daily, weekly or monthly package for advanced playtime.</p>



<p>Unlike regular mobile games that require a user to install the whole application before playing any stages, MTN GoGames instead runs an HTML interface that requires no installation for a user to access any games category on the platform. At launch, available game categories include sports, action, education, adventure, and kid games.</p>



<p>To put a Ugandan spice to the platform, MTN Go Games hosts popular child games like Mweso (local draft), Ludo, Kwepena, Hide and Seek, among others that have been phasing with the emergence of urbanization in most parts of the country. Somdev Sen, the telco’s Chief Marketing Officer inked that the platform is a tool to help customers take a break by playing games on their smartphones.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/MTN-CMO-SomDev-Sen-on-the-MTN-Marathon-success.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="750" height="500" src="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/MTN-CMO-SomDev-Sen-on-the-MTN-Marathon-success.jpg" alt="The MTN Uganda CMO Somdev Sen" class="wp-image-12648" srcset="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/MTN-CMO-SomDev-Sen-on-the-MTN-Marathon-success.jpg 750w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/MTN-CMO-SomDev-Sen-on-the-MTN-Marathon-success-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/MTN-CMO-SomDev-Sen-on-the-MTN-Marathon-success-450x300.jpg 450w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></a></figure>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“At MTN, we know that gaming is fun, so we created a platform that delivers simple fun to any of our customers at any point in time. The past year has without a doubt been intense, and even as we take on this year, several serious situations lie ahead of us. We however believe that MTN GoGames will enable us to take a break from all the seriousness and have some fun as we unwind”, </p><cite>Said Somdev Sen, the MTN Uganda Chief Marketing Officer</cite></blockquote>



<p>In Uganda, it&#8217;s not the first time for <a href="https://techpointmag.com/full-list-of-useful-mtn-uganda-shortcodes-to-know/" class="rank-math-link">MTN</a> to launch a gaming platform. In late 2016, the telco launched MTN Games which was aimed at serving customers with amazing games at a cost of daily, weekly, or monthly subscriptions. However, the platform was not well welcomed with a boost by customers paving way for MTN GoGames as the 2<sup>nd</sup> attempt by the telco in mobile gaming.</p>



<p>This time around, no app installations are required for customers, nor are daily, weekly, and monthly subscription packages compulsory. Instead, a line has been drawn between Freemium and Premium customers with free games available for each and every registered customer, for premium games, then a subscription package becomes the pass, and here is how you can actually get started.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How to Play Games on MTN GoGames</strong></h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Visit <a href="http://www.mtn.gogames.run" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.mtn.gogames.run</a></li><li>Register for an account by entering a preferred username and your MTN mobile number</li><li>You will automatically be redirected to the main games dashboard</li><li>Choose your best game poison and play for as long as you want</li><li><strong>DONE:</strong> Enjoy free gaming with MTN GoGames</li></ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>For Premium Games, Packages, and how you subscribe</strong></h2>

<p>In Africa, you can either buy PlayStation games online or offline depending on your country of residence. If purchased offline, you will have to battle with high prices that don&#8217;t relate to the actual <a href="https://techpointmag.com/list-of-the-best-10-playstation-5-games/" class="rank-math-link">Playstation store discounts</a> that often come up. But if purchased online, you can get amazing discounts on almost every game title depending on the season.</p>



<p>More so, chipped <a href="https://techpointmag.com/how-to-connect-headphones-on-a-playstation-4/" class="rank-math-link">Playstation consoles</a> rank as the most popular in several African countries, but no brand-new consoles come with their original firmware making it difficult to jailbreak, and instead choose to buy PlayStation games online and not offline through local dealers.</p>



<p>Among the key advantages of choosing to buy PlayStation games in Africa is the fact that you&#8217;ll have full ownership of all titles installed on your console. Additionally, you will be able to share games with up to 3 different consoles which can be sequenced in a parent-child fashion.</p>



<p>However, accessing the Playstation store in Africa is a tough task that you must know how to maneuver in order to get started with downloading your favourite Playstation games online. First, you must signup for a Playstation account, Secondly, you must set your account country to South Africa as a must in order to gain instant access to your new dashboard.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How you buy Playstation Games Online in Africa</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Create a free Playstation store account by visiting <a href="http://playstation.com" class="rank-math-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">playstation.com</a> on your PC or console</li><li>Now, on the country/Region option, choose South Africa (No other African country is listed on the list)</li><li>Complete your account creation process, and you will be presented a PlayStation store dashboard</li><li>If you have a debit card (VISA or Mastercard), click your new account profile and add it as a payment method</li><li>Once added, choose any game you wish to buy (price will be displayed in Rands) and add it to your cart</li><li>Visit a Currency converter and convert Rands to your local currency to know how much you&#8217;ll pay for the game</li><li>Click Pay in your cart to buy the game, and once paid, you will be able to download it on your PlayStation console.</li><li><strong>DONE:</strong> Enjoy playing games online and offline with your Playstation console.</li></ul>

<p>The evolution of gaming has grown from RGB graphics computer games in the 90s, Windows games like Spider solitaire in the early 2000s, to portable Gameboy consoles in and then the rise in popularity of Sony&#8217;s PlayStation consoles in the mid-2000s which have since changed the gaming world for good.</p>



<p>Before the <a href="https://techpointmag.com/playstation-5-price-in-uganda-kenya-nigeria/" class="rank-math-link">PlayStation 5</a> left its launch pad last year as the new generation console to sum up Sony&#8217;s releases from the PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP, and the PS4, the need for great sound while gaming has often been fundamental with the rise of <a href="https://techpointmag.com/list-of-the-best-10-playstation-5-games/" class="rank-math-link">great gaming titles</a>, and that&#8217;s why the PS5 starter kit contains free headphones, but with the 2021 trend, the PS4 still rocks as the best console to buy and having correct sound is fundamental.</p>



<p>By default, a Playstation 4 console outputs sound through a connected HDMI cable to a TV, but as an optional feature, you can connect an external sound system through the dedicated sound port that converts feed through Banana cables. However, nothing excites more than playing games with audio transmitted directly to your ears through headphones or a pair of earphones.</p>



<p>You can connect headphones on a Playstation 4 without worrying about any additional sound converters or gear needed to troubleshoot your broadcasted audio. So, given the fact that gaming through headphones is on the rise, you can either connect headphones on a PlayStation 4 via Bluetooth or with a cable through the dedicated 3.5mm jack port on your dual shock 4 controller.</p>



<p>Well, with Bluetooth audio connection to your Playstation4, you may need to purchase supported headphones since the console is limited to specific models and brands. But to avoid any limitations, connecting your cable headphones or headsets (earphones) is the easier way to connect audio from your Playstation 4, and here is how you can do that.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to connect Headphones on a Playstation 4 (Wired Headsets)</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Power on your Playstation 4 and Connect your <strong>Dual Shock 4 Controller</strong> (Pad)</li></ul>

<p>Playstation 5 has finally received a Price tag, the reveal comes after <a href="https://techpointmag.com/new-generation-xbox-s-xbox-x-console-insights/" data-type="post" data-id="11648">Xbox made its new dual pricing official</a>. Much more like previous consoles such as the Playstation 4 and Playstation 3, we expect the PS5 consoles to be priced evenly in several African countries.</p>



<p>But first, the <a href="https://techpointmag.com/playstation-5-appearance-and-difference-from-ps4/" data-type="post" data-id="10736">PlayStation 5</a> packs next generation gaming capabilities straight out the box. Notably, SSD performance, much faster GPU, 4K support, and a 3.5 GHz Processor headline the console&#8217;s specs sheet.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Playstation 5 Quick Specs</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-table is-style-stripes"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Price Tag</strong></td><td>$499 w/ Disc, $299 Digital</td></tr><tr><td><strong>CPU</strong></td><td>X86-64-AMD RYZEN 2 (upto 3.5GHz)</td></tr><tr><td><strong>GPU</strong></td><td>AMD RADEON RDNA 2 Based Graphics w/ upto 2.23GHz (10.3 TFLOPS)</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Memory (RAM)</strong></td><td>16GB DDR6</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Resolution</strong></td><td>4K</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Style</strong></td><td>Router Shape</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Internal Storage (SSD)</strong></td><td>825GB</td></tr></tbody></table><figcaption>PS5 Specs</figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Much the Playstation 5 may cost in Uganda, Kenya, and Nigeria</h2>



<p>Based on the African taxing structure, the <a href="https://techpointmag.com/how-to-register-and-pre-order-the-playstation-5-ps5/" data-type="post" data-id="11467">Playstation 5</a> will cost more than $500 benchmarked as the official launch price tag. With the Disc version (with a CD Driver) raving at $499 and a Digital only version at $299, expect a different pricing structure in any of the Sub-Saharan Africa countries.</p>



<p>In Uganda, <a href="https://techpointmag.com/get-ura-tin-number/" data-type="post" data-id="7128">URA</a> taxes imported Playstation consoles, and so is the situation in countries like Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Tanzania. However, taxes can&#8217;t go double the console price, meaning, a hike of at least $350-$400 should be expected.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table is-style-stripes"><table><thead><tr><th>Country</th><th>Estimated PS5 Price</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Uganda</td><td>3,324,957 Ugshs</td></tr><tr><td>Kenya</td><td>97,560 Kshs</td></tr><tr><td>Nigeria</td><td>346,050 Naira</td></tr></tbody></table><figcaption>Estimated Playstation 5 price in Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria</figcaption></figure>



<p>Based on the Business atmosphere and vast effects of the current COVID19 Pandemic, the estimated cost might change based on the country dynamics. But by the look of things, expect Pricing to bezel through our anticipated ranges.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Playstation 5 Availability in Uganda, Kenya, and Nigeria</h2>



<p>Playstation 5. will start shipping on 12th November 2020 for the US, Japan, New Zealand, and South Korea. Then, on November 19th, the COnolse will ship to the rest of the world including Africa.</p>



<p>Hence, Ps5 consoles will be available in Uganda, Kenya, and Nigeria by late November 2020. This is a favorable timeframe for you to either trade-off your current PS4, or solicit enough money to taste Next Generation gaming.</p>

<p>Xbox has revealed its latest line up of new generation consoles. the Xbox s and Xbox X are the Microsoft backed brand&#8217;s new gaming pieces of Gold priced at $299 and $4999 respectively.</p>



<p>After a bunch of leaks and competitive pressure from the gaming community which already has a taste of the <a href="https://techpointmag.com/how-to-register-and-pre-order-the-playstation-5-ps5/" data-type="post" data-id="11467">upcoming PlayStation 5</a>. Microsoft forcefully published information about its upcoming duo of consoles that will bridge a new generation of gaming.</p>



<p>For now, the company has not revealed alot of information about its upcoming consoles, but based on the available feed, the upcoming gaming gear will bridge the competitive gap set by the PS5.</p>



<div class="wp-block-group"><div class="wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow">
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hardware and Specs</h2>



<p>After Microsoft&#8217;s reveal, <a href="https://twitter.com/_h0x0d_/status/1303252607759130624?s=21" target="_blank" rel="noopener">leaker h0x0d–– a Twitter account published a leaked promotional video</a> for the Xbox s and Xbox X. As per the Video, both consoles target a run-time resolution of 1440p by up to 120fps (frames per second).</p>



<p>NVME SSDs will power the new generation consoles by up to 512GB of storage. Additionally, X series will have a custom expansion port at the back for external storage drives according to <a href="https://www.engadget.com/xbox-series-s-price-073345112.html?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Engadget.</a></p>



<p>Well, by Design, the Xbox S is a tiny, slim vertical layout console that looks about a third of the X version. The console features a Vent like component that houses the Fan to cool hardware components and doesn&#8217;t equip a CD drive. By performance, It houses variable-rate shading, variable refresh rate, ultra-low latency, 4K media playback, and 4K upscaling for games.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="750" height="422" src="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/New-Gen-XBOX-Consoles.jpg" alt="New Generation Xbox s and Xbox X consoles" class="wp-image-11656" srcset="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/New-Gen-XBOX-Consoles.jpg 750w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/New-Gen-XBOX-Consoles-300x169.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></figure>



<p>On the other hand, Xbox X is a cube-shaped console that you can easily mistake for a big sound pill. The console brings to play a faster CPU and GPU ontop of facilitating faster 4K gaming than the Xbox S. Furthermore, it utilizes a single large fan and a huge vapor chamber to keep its parts cool.</p>



<p>Hence, with much hype around the Playstation 5, Microsoft&#8217;s fresh line up has joined the mix, and now, expect more backward compatible games than ever before since developers will be working towards New Generation graphics, but considering leaps for compatibility.</p>
</div></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Price</h2>



<p>At only $299, you&#8217;re able to buy the Xbox S console which rocks as the minimal feature drother to the X version. On the other hand, The Xbox X cost a whopping $499 and serves as the flagship console.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Launch and Availability</h2>



<p>The Xbox S and Xbox X consoles will be released on November 10 with global shipping available. Also, Pre-orders start on 22nd September 2020 way early before the official release date. So to get an early preview of the Consoles, simply pre-order, but once released, we can&#8217;t wait to see how the Xbox fairs against the <a href="https://techpointmag.com/playstation-5-appearance-and-difference-from-ps4/" data-type="post" data-id="10736">PS5</a>.</p>

<p>Playstation 5 is now available for Pre-order. As Sony prepares the NewGen Console for an official launch away from the <a href="https://techpointmag.com/playstation-5-appearance-and-difference-from-ps4/" data-type="post" data-id="10736">official unveiling event held earlier in June</a>. The PS5 will be ready to ship to first-buy customers on the pre-order list by late 2020.</p>



<p>Unlike common pre-orders, you can only order the PS5 for an early sniff by registering for a slot on the PlayStation Website. Once registered, Sony will select out a few lucky customers who will be able to get the Console first-hand.</p>



<p>Apparently, there is only a limited number of PS5 consoles available for pre-order. Additionally, the company has adopted a 1-customer 1-console policy where you can only order 1console which comes with <a href="https://techpointmag.com/the-ps5-dualsense-controller/" data-type="post" data-id="9879">two Dual sense controllers</a> and other PS5 accessories.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Pre-order a PlayStation 5 Console</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="750" height="478" src="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Playstation-5-Pre-order.jpg" alt="How to Pre order a Playstation 5" class="wp-image-11470" srcset="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Playstation-5-Pre-order.jpg 750w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Playstation-5-Pre-order-300x191.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /><figcaption>The Playstation Pre-Order Form</figcaption></figure>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Visit the Playstation.com registration portal via: <a href="https://www.playstation.com/en-us/campaigns/2020/ps5-direct-pre-orders/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.playstation.com/en-us/campaigns/2020/ps5-direct-pre-orders/</a></li><li>Fill in the Pre-order form with your Playstation online ID and Click Sign up</li><li>If successfully selected for Pre-order, you will receive a confirmation email from Playstation with more Information on how you can complete your Order</li><li><strong>NB:</strong> You Must have a Valid PSN Account and Online ID to Pre-Order</li></ul>



<p>However, Playstation5 Pre-orders have been limited to only US Customers with a valid address. At the moment, Playstation is not taking International Pre-orders, but if you have a virtual US Address, you can link it to your PSN account before Placing your Order.</p>



<p>Hence, as the Gaming community awaits for an official Playstation 5 launch and pricing reveal, you can snick through as one of the first Console owners by applying for a pre-order slot.</p>

<p>The PlayStation 5 has been revealed to the public. It’s for the first time since the first console rumor of launching in 2020. The reveal of the console&#8217;s physical hardware and design was made through a Sony live stream session today.</p>



<p>PlayStation 5 hardware picks a leaf from the new <a href="https://techpointmag.com/the-ps5-dualsense-controller/">Dual Sense controller that was dashed for a reveal earlier in April</a>. A white on black color design (dual-tone) is what rules the console’s texture style.</p>



<p>Further on the design flake, the PlayStation 5 takes a completely different design layout from its predecessors, with a fully bold yet sleek design formation. On the top of the console, it emits a solid blue light while functioning, similar to that on the Dual Sense controller.</p>



<p>Though the Console has been revealed standing vertically, it can lay down like all previous consoles, except that, its cool colour emission gives it a better design while facing upward.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1000" height="559" src="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Playstation-5-set.jpg" alt="Playstation 5 Accessory set" class="wp-image-10741" srcset="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Playstation-5-set.jpg 1000w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Playstation-5-set-300x168.jpg 300w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Playstation-5-set-768x429.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><figcaption>The Playstation 5 Accessory set of Dual sense controllers + Charging dock, Pulse 3D headphones, HD Camera and a Media remote</figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Changes from the PS4</h2>



<p>Starting from the controller style, the Playstation 5 packs a new functionality map, different setup, and capabilities. Unlike the PS4, which is available in 3 versions, the Playstation 5 is only available in two variants.</p>



<p>The base PS5 model has a disc drive, as the 2<sup>nd</sup> model dubbed the PS5 digital-only edition is a diskless version. Both versions come with a slim design and USB C support contrary to the PS4 whose versions only differ in storage and design size.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1000" height="585" src="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/PS5-Dual-Sense-Controller.jpg" alt="PS5 Dual Sense Controller" class="wp-image-10739" srcset="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/PS5-Dual-Sense-Controller.jpg 1000w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/PS5-Dual-Sense-Controller-300x176.jpg 300w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/PS5-Dual-Sense-Controller-768x449.jpg 768w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/PS5-Dual-Sense-Controller-357x210.jpg 357w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><figcaption>The Playstation 5 Dual Sense Controller </figcaption></figure>



<p>The Dual Sense controller includes haptic and adaptive triggers, giving developers upper merit to customize trigger tension, and give more precise feedback than the classic vibration technology on the PS4’s Dual Shock 4 controller.</p>



<p>But similar to the Dual Shock 4, Dual Sense packs a light bar, though it&#8217;s housed beneath the controller&#8217;s centerpiece, and not its rear-bottom. Likely, with USB-C and a separate charging dock, Dual sense seems to be a functions-centric controller different from the PS4&#8217;s DualShock4 pad.</p>



<p>In-box console accessories include a Controller Charging Dock, HD Camera, a Media remote, and Pulse 3D Wireless headphones. So, the Playstation 5 is the best console that has ever been on the Sony launchpad, though its price and official launch date has not been revealed yet.</p>

<p>GTA 5 is probably the best and latest Crime/Action storyline by <a href="https://www.rockstargames.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rockstar Games</a> succeeding the glory timeline of previous releases like GTA Vice City, and San Andreas. Since its initial release in 2013, GTA V pronounced as GTA 5 is one of the best games that rule the PlayStation 4 and 3 consoles.</p>



<p>GTA 5 Cheat codes allow you to take mission shortcuts by getting more armor, becoming untouchable (Invisible) for 5 minutes, getting the coolest cars, acquiring a pack of guns, among others.</p>



<p>Just like previous GTA releases, Cheat codes are enabled with a combination of keys. Unlike PC cheat codes that are enabled through Keyboard terms, PlayStation codes are through the direction, command, then L/R keys, and below are some of the most used GTA 5 cheat codes.</p>

<p>All GTA 5 Cheats are compatible with all game characters like Franklin, Michael, and Trevor to enjoy more features on top of completing assigned missions much faster. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to use GTA 5 Cheats on a Playstation Controller</h2>



<p>To activate a GTA 5 cheat code, hit a combination to activate a stated feature. During your combination entry process, Ignore the character actions and movements to focus on finishing a cheat code that usually ends with triple L1 keys.</p>



<p>Otherwise, as GTA 6 recons around the corner with the <a href="https://techpointmag.com/playstation-5-set-to-launch-in-october/">PlayStation 5</a>, GTA 5 is still an excellent game to play with fast combination keys for cheat code activation except that Money codes have not surfaced yet, and so, must be manually worked for.</p>

<p>The Sony PlayStation 5 is set to be launched in October this year, the reveal is through a leak from a Job listing tailored for a PS5 official surfaced online with clues on when the PlayStation 4 successor is set to be made official.</p>



<p>Given the fact that the annual E3 expo was due to the current Corona Virus Pandemic, Sony decided to drop teasers of the Playstation5 in bits. But now, October is when the new generation <a href="https://techpointmag.com/the-ps5-dualsense-controller/">Dual Sense</a> powered console will surface to the gaming sphere.</p>



<p>According to the <a href="https://next.rikunabi.com/rnc/docs/cp_s01880.jsp?leadtc=n_ichiran_cst_bakuten_ttl&amp;rqmt_id=102971948003&amp;list_disp_no=7&amp;fr=cp_s00700&amp;__m=1589309686027-7094718700612467709" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Job Listing</a>, It had a confirmation that Sony is planning to launch the PlayStation 5 in October. In spite of its removal, the listing was for a global QCD overseer which post best suits someone who would be responsible for the PS5 on top of sourcing for its parts locally and globally.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1000" height="732" src="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Sony-Playstation-5-Listing.jpg" alt="Sony Playstation 5 Job Listing" class="wp-image-10453" srcset="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Sony-Playstation-5-Listing.jpg 1000w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Sony-Playstation-5-Listing-300x220.jpg 300w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Sony-Playstation-5-Listing-768x562.jpg 768w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Sony-Playstation-5-Listing-86x64.jpg 86w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><figcaption>The PS5 Job Listing and revealed launch date</figcaption></figure>



<p>The Listing was shared by Sony on a Japanese portal, and this means the PS5 is targeting holiday sales leaping off its normal trail of launching consoles in November. Given the unpredictable COVID19 Pandemic duration, the PS5 still has a pack of expectations’ before its reveal.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What to expect from the Sony PlayStation 5</h2>



<p>Unlike Sony’s previous consoles, the PlayStation brings to play a new controller trail off the usual DualShock codename, the Dual Sense controller will have multiple capabilities with its dedicated share button, Inbuilt microphone, and USB C port standing out loud.</p>



<p>Storage wise, the PlayStation 5 is set to come with SSD storage of 825GB as previously revealed on the PlayStation blog, But we further expect the storage ability to cross to 1TB just like the Xbox series X.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1000" height="477" src="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/PS5-Build.jpg" alt="Playstation Hardware Specs" class="wp-image-10450" srcset="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/PS5-Build.jpg 1000w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/PS5-Build-300x143.jpg 300w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/PS5-Build-768x366.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><figcaption>The PS5 Hardware Flow

<p>To the Hardware Architecture, the console will pack a custom GPU using RDNA 2 architecture. Furthermore, a custom AMD CPU based on Zen 2 Architecture will have a frequency capped at 3.5Gz which is quite a good standard to deliver exciting features in upcoming games.</p>
