Mine has started doing it on and off. A full restart seems to fix it. I use rest mode 100% so maybe it’s just recalibrating or resetting it with a restart.

Contact Cleaner by WD-40 Specialist - Non-conductive Spray Suitable for Use on Sensitive Electronics. Removes Dirt, Dust, and Flux Residue. It sorted my controller out. Need to give mine another little. I think skin cells just end up clogging them up.

You only need either UC4 or LL to upgrade to the collection.

Man I'm abit annoyed about this. You need a physical copy of UC4, with disc inserted to play the upgraded version, and costs £9.99. If you bought the digital version and have digital only ps5 your out of luck. I liked UC4 but to be honest I got bored some point along the way so will skip this one.

I use that for my switch controllers works a treat. Not had any recent issues with the ps5 controllers but yeah I’ll give it some of that if it happens again cheers.

Uncharted 4 upgrade looks a bit underwhelming? description says upscaled from 1440p, would expect more from such a old game :/ , oh well at least the last of us 2 had that free 60fps update.

Yeah I’m a bit gutted it’s only 30fps in 4K, wonder what the pc specs of the game will be as I may wait for that and abuse my 3080fe with it instead

No you just need to have bought a physical or digital version and have it installed on your PS5 system to claim the £10 upgrade on release day.

If it wasn't one my favourite series ever I probably wouldn't bother as I don't usually replay games. But I will replay both of these.

£10 is worth it to me both great games especially the spin off. I will enjoy them for years to come and if the experience is enhanced further then it is even better. Can’t wait to play them again at the end of Jan.

It's a real pity but this gen simply cannot do 4K60 it seems. I was under the impression all games were going to be 4K60 without Ray tracing but even that doesn't seem possible or some studios can't manage it. ND were extremely good at squeezing out every bit of power from the ps3 & ps4 by the 3rd game, they used a lot of tricks to get around ram availability, it's well documented. I aways go for 60fps simply because the experience is far superior. The 8K on the ps5 box still makes my eyes roll.

Early days I reckon. They will find work arounds and we really haven’t seen that much from first party devs that isn’t cross gen yet. Insomniacs Ratchet & Clank was the only big one really and that was glorious visually. Possibly the best thing we’ve ever seen on a console to date.

8k 120fps (and in small print, games like solitaire :cry:). Don't you just love how much marketing get away with things.

Not a fan boy I have both xbox series x and ps5. I have to give credit to the PS5 on game performance. call of duty warzone, destiny 2, battlefield 2042, vanguard, fifa all run better on the playstation 5 either higher frames or non graphical glitches like they is on fifa on the xbox.

So im not sure whats happening with xbox? and what i should do with my xbox at this point because with it being the world fastest console i thought it would be top dog on everything but it seems to me like games are somehow more worked on the ps5?

Since PS is still by far bigger than Xbox more resources are probably put into fixing bugs and making the game run better.

Just got my PS5 3 days ago. First console since PS2. How things have moved on!

Anyway, the right analog stick makes a small click when pushed right. Is this normal? Really irritating when trying to aim precisely.

They should click when you push the analogue sticks in as this is for L3 or R3 buttons but shouldn't click if you are just pushing to the right :)
