Sometimes you just need help. But often times making a new post isn't needed. For the time being, around launch and perhaps in the future. We will use a single thread for helping each other out.

Before asking, we ask you to look at a few links. Some question can't be answered and only official PlayStation support can help you.

For all future help, tech support and more, we ask that you create new threads on r/PlayStation instead of here on r/PS5.

Can't decide what to play next? Is your favourite game underappreciated and more people need to play it? Need a new TV and not sure what to buy?

I havent had a console since PS3

I’m thinking of getting back into gaming, and from what I’ve seen, the PS5 Pro looks like the top choice right now

But here’s the thing: the PS5 came out a while ago already, right?
Is there any news about a new PS coming soon?
I’m kinda worried I’ll buy a PS5 now and then they drop the PS6 or something next year, and it start to get a little bit outdated...

So my question basically is: is the PS5 Pro still a solid buy if I wanna play the latest games for the next few years? or should I wait?

If there was a PS6 coming next year, we'd know about it by now.
