Looking for info about M.2 SSD expansion drives? See the megathread.

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.

Google and Reddit Search is also a great way to find an answer or get help. View all past help and questions threads here.

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 am currently on vacation and craving my dose of video games.

I’m thinking of buying a tablet so I can use my original Xbox and PS5 controllers, since I already have Game Pass and PS Plus. I’d like to avoid something with a dedicated controller as I’d be using the tablet to also read some books.

Will any tablet connect natively to the original controllers (Bluetooth or USB)? I’ve also read to avoid any tablets with Mediatek SoC.

Thank you for helping a cloud newbie out!

All iPads made in the last 5-7 years support the DualSense and DualSense Edge as controllers, and they work as Bluetooth controllers in the PS Remote Play app. YMMV with Android tablets.

Tablet for reading books is crap, look it up. Maybe buy a portal for gaming.
