Is PS5 Backward Compatible with PS4 Games?
Yes. The PS5 and PS5 Pro are backward compatible with the vast majority of PS4 and PS5 games, often with improved load times and performance. Many titles have received free PS5 upgrades with enhanced visuals and frame rates. Your existing digital library carries over automatically when you sign into your PlayStation Network account on a new PS5.
Should I Subscribe to PlayStation Plus?
PlayStation Plus is Sony's subscription service for PS5 and gives you access to online multiplayer, a monthly selection of free games to keep, and exclusive PlayStation Store discounts. It comes in three tiers — Essential, Extra and Deluxe — with higher tiers unlocking a back catalogue of PS4 and PS5 titles to download and play. If you play online or want access to a large library of games, PlayStation Plus is worth it. Pick up a PlayStation Store gift card at JB Hi-Fi to top up your PlayStation wallet or purchase a subscription.

Can I Play PS5 Away from My TV?
Yes. The PlayStation Portal streams your PS5 games over Wi-Fi to an 8-inch Full HD screen with 1080p resolution at up to 60fps. It uses the full DualSense controls — adaptive triggers, haptic feedback and all — so the experience feels the same as playing on your TV, just from anywhere in your home.
Is PlayStation VR2 Worth It?
PlayStation VR2 is Sony's second-generation VR headset built exclusively for PS5. It delivers a 4K HDR OLED display, eye tracking, inside-out tracking with no external cameras and headset haptic feedback. Compatible titles offer a level of immersion that goes well beyond standard screen gaming. If you want the most immersive PlayStation experience available, PS VR2 is the way to get there.
