The PlayStation 5 may have been out for four years, but you’d be surprised how many owners still don’t know what features the console offers.

Don’t get me wrong, as long as your games run on the PlayStation 5 and they run well and look pretty, you don’t have to worry about anything else.

However, since Sony’s console is capable of accessing these games much faster, all owners should know about this feature.

The feature in question was featured back in February 2023 in a video titled “39 Things You Didn’t Know Your PS5 Can Do” from the PlayStation Access YouTube account.

Even though the video is almost two years old, it’s still being spotted by PlayStation 5 owners to this day, and it’s a mention that shocks Sony fans for not knowing about it sooner.

Point three in the video draws your attention to the possibility of pre-downloading games.

PS5 owners can purchase a game via the PlayStation App and download it on the go.

So if you want to grab a game on your lunch break, it’ll be ready to play when you get home and you won’t have to scowl at the Download Bar for the rest of the evening.

This feature can also be combined with the ability to set up automatic updates, meaning your PS5 console will download any patches even in sleep mode, so you won’t be bombarded with them when you boot it up.

These are simple but effective ways to get the most out of your PS5, and they’re features that are by no means obvious.

Therefore, fans took to the comments to say thank you.

“It took me a while to get one but I finally did last Christmas. “I really appreciate that you’re still posting tipping videos two years later,” one comment read.

Another said: “I’ve owned a PS5 for about a year and a half and I’ve STILL learned a few things!”

Now it’s time to get to know all the new features of the PlayStation 5 Pro.
