Explained: Can you play PS4 games on PS5?
The easiest answer: yes! There is a huge selection of the PS4 games you own are playable on the PS5. You’ll be able to download any games you bought through the PlayStation store on your PS4 and play them on the next-gen console.
If you’ve got the disc edition of the PS5, you’ll also be able to insert your PS4 discs into it and play them that way, too.

Be patient!
If you're in a online queue for Smyths Toys, wait times can be anywhere up to 30 minutes on average, so patience and persistence are the keys to success.
As we've said previously, don't refresh the screen either, just try to relax and before you know it you'll have that sweet, sweet confirmation message.
Smyths reportedly has an anti-bot system in place so by messing around too much, you could lose your chance.
You can buy the PS5 here.

How can I check if Discord is not working?
There are some websites that report server outages for different websites like Discord.
Users can visit the Downdetector website when they are experiencing issues to double-check if the platform is down.
The social platform Twitter is also useful when checking for outages to see if others in your area are having trouble.
If it appears the problem may not be widespread, try checking the internet connection on your device or exiting the app before logging back in.

Tips on how to stop your console randomly turning off
Your PS5 needs to be well-ventilated so if you’ve got it stashed away in a cubby hole in your TV stand, find it a new home.
It doesn’t help that the console is an absolute beast, and that it could ruin your room’s aesthetic if it’s out in the open, but needs must.
Try placing it vertically in a place where it has some space around it, or out in the open completely.
You can always give the fan a clean, or at remove the face plates to clean out the vents if you don’t want to get the toolbox out.

Netflix to launch no-console gaming this year?
In July last year, we revealed Netflix is planning to offer video games alongside TV shows and movies.
It’s a major change for the streaming app – and will put Netflix in competition with the PS5 and Xbox.
According to Bloomberg, video games will begin appearing on Netflix “within the next year” -so that could mean by summer 2022.
They’ll be listed as part of a new genre, living alongside existing offerings like documentaries.
Importantly, Bloomberg cites an insider as saying Netflix won’t charge extra for the video games – but at present it is unclear exactly how the games will be delivered.

How to get a PS5 from the Smyths Toys drop?
For those who will attempt to pre-order a PS5 console online today, we recommend having an account on the Smyths Toys website.
This way you’re ready and logged in before the drop.
Another thing we reccomend not doing is refreshing the Smyths Toys’ website at any time, whether it’s before, during, or after the drop. Smyths Toys’ is known to have a well-advanced anti-bot security system on their backend.
This means that, if customers refresh the PS5 page too fast, there’s a high chance the website will automatically ban you from accessing the site.
Usually, it’s a temporary ban, but to avoid this during a crucial drop day, it is best you do not refresh their site frequently.New PS5 accessibility features in Horizon Forbidden West
Guerrilla has detailed a few of the key accessibility options that players can use in the game come February 18.
- General Accessibility Settings
- Difficulty Settings – they are also introducing the Custom Difficulty setting, which allows you to adjust damage levels that Aloy deals and receives to/from enemies, giving more flexibility in adjusting combat difficulty.
- Controller Settings
- Gameplay Assist Settings
- Audio and Visual Settings

Smyths Toys Restock TODAY
The Smyths Toys PS5 Disc Edition (https://bit.ly/3yLE81p) restock is planned to take place TODAY (Thursday 17th Feb 2022) around 9am GMT.
Customers may pre-order, both online and in-store once the stock drop is live.
This will be a Disc Edition console restock only, and no Digital Editions available to pre-order, as far as Stock Checker knows.

Tips for waiting in the GAME drop
It’s important to firstly say that once you are in the queue, DO NOT refresh the queue. The queue is doing all the refreshing for you in the background, live. Hang in there as so many users miss out by being put off from the queue time.
Use guest checkout, rather than using your GAME account. There is an issue users can come across that some GAME customers have experienced, where users are somehow unable to purchase certain products whilst logged in.
If you’re worried about the GAME points you could earn, you can contact their customer service and prove you’ve bought the PS5. Once you’ve done that, they’ll add on your reward points to the GAME account you have. - John Hall
GAME shipments
Stock Checker can confirm that “If you select our Priority Insured delivery method (details can be found on the product page) your order will be shipped by February 22nd. All other delivery method orders will be shipped by February 25th.”
This indicates a stock drop on the 18th of February around 9am-11:30am.
Once the drop is live, this will be proven further, as the dates on the bundles page will also be updated to 25/02/22 rather than the current 18/02/22.

Best PS5 games to get on board
Astro’s Playroom – Bundled with the PS5, this could easily be dismissed as a gimmick to show off the DualSense joypad. But it’s a brilliant and wondrously sensory game in its own right – not to be missed.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales – This add-on to the Spider-Man video game reboot is truly gorgeous and shows off the graphical heft of the PS5. It’s also good fun, and you’ll likely lose hours just swinging around snowy Manhattan.
God of War – Revamped for the PS5, this iconic PS4 titan is more stunning than ever. It’s one of the best games of the decade, undoubtedly. A must-play, even if you’ve never touched the franchise before.
Fall Guys – It’s cheap, cheerful and endlessly addictive. Think Takeshi’s Castle meets Fortnite.
Fifa 21 – Let’s be honest: if you care at all about football, you probably already have this. But we had to include it for good measure!
