Video games have never been more accessible than they are today, both in terms of adding them to one's collection and actually playing through them. When it comes to the latter, most modern video games have a ton of different accessibility options, with players typically able to select between a vast array of settings when they first begin their playthrough.
A Complete Guide to the PlayStation 5
Given the sheer size of the console's library and its ever-expanding nature, finding the best PlayStation 5 games can be a real challenge these days.
The PlayStation 5 aims to make life even easier for players, with a little-known feature allowing them to decide which difficulty setting they'd like to use for every single game that they play. Using the Game Presets menu, they can also choose which graphics mode they'd like to use and how they'd like the camera to work while in first or third-person view.
How to Preset Game Difficulty and Graphics Mode on PS5
If players navigate to the Saved Data and Game/App Settings menu of their PlayStation 5, they should see the Game Presets sub-menu on their left. From here, they'll be able to choose the default difficulty setting for every game that they play on the console, as well as whether they want them to run in performance or Resolution mode. For those who play a lot of PlayStation 5 games, these easy-to-change settings could end up saving them a considerable amount of time, particularly if they have a preferred difficulty setting or graphics mode.
What Other Settings Can Be Changed in the PS5's Game Presets Menu?
In addition to pre-selecting difficulty and graphics settings, players can use the Game Presets menu to decide whether they want to invert the camera controls while playing in first or third-person games or if they'd like subtitles to be enabled by default. They can also choose to have the in-game audio match the language of the console or use the game's default audio. The latter can be great for those hoping to play games like Ghost of Tsushima with the original Japanese audio, which many feel is the best way to experience the popular 2020 title. The final Game Presets setting allows players to determine who can and can't join them in online multiplayer sessions, which should prove useful for those with younger children.
