Sony has been hinting towards a PlayStation 5 UX reveal for a few days now. They announced the possible reveal by collaborating with Burger King. Now, the official PlayStation blog has released an official walkthrough where they take us through the new UX for the PlayStation 5. Before diving into the details, take a look at the official reveal below.

From the startup screen to the Accounts page, everything is new. Additionally, the start-up sound also feels a little more transcendent compared to the PlayStation 4 sound. But that is just the tip of the iceberg.

As soon as you log in to the account, you come across a completely different Control Center (homepage). This will feel new to look at if you have been using PlayStation 4 for a long time. Also, one of the most notable things was the lightning-fast boot time. Thanks to the PS5’s superfast SSD, the system boots up almost instantaneously.

The online multiplayer gaming experience on the PS5 is now a faster and smoother experience.

PlayStation 5 Homepage and Explore

This will be the page where users land after booting up the system. It showcases all the games, media, and other apps that the PS5 has. Additionally, there is also a new feature called Explore. On day 1, it will only be available in the US as it is still going through its testing phase. This helps you stay updated on the latest PlayStation news from the official blog and a few other media companies as well.
