23% Of People Didn’t Realize The PS5 Has This Hidden Feature

A SlashGear survey of 611 United States-based PS5 owners revealed that almost a quarter (23.08%) didn’t know you could track the prices of games using your account’s Wishlist. This could be due to the fact that the wishlist feature was initially dumped back in 2020. However, it was quietly brought back and can actually save you money on digital game purchases. Wishlist specifically tracks digital copies of games you are interested in, and can let you know when that item is on sale or has had its price reduced for any other reason. You can access the Wishlist feature by opening the PlayStation Store and selecting the white heart icon in the top right of the screen. You can add games to the list by selecting the “add to wishlist” option while viewing a game in the store.

Wishlists weren’t the only feature our readers were unaware of; 22.42% of those surveyed didn’t know you could use the PS5’s Activities feature to load specific missions and game modes from your games library. Just under 20% were unaware that their controllers’ DualSense features, including vibration intensity, can be modified or disabled. Just over 18% of readers had no idea that 3D audio was an option for their TV speakers, and 16.69% were surprised to find out that a mouse and keyboard could be hooked up to the console. This isn’t an exhaustive list, and even if you knew all of this, the popular console has a bunch of other hidden features that you may not be aware of.
