10 Features The PS5 Desperately Needs

The PS5's cross-gen support is a great feature, allowing players to purchase the PS4 versions of games like Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, and Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War and also play the PS5 versions on their next-gen hardware.

Yet the PS5's user interface could definitely use some work where differentiating between PS4 and PS5 versions of games is concerned, as on launch week a staggering number of players found themselves accidentally downloading and playing PS4 versions of said games on their nifty new hardware.

The primary issue is that, for most games, the PS5 inexplicably defaults to downloading the PS4 version, and so players who understandably select the "download" option expecting PSN to know what hardware it's interfacing with may end up playing the last-gen version instead.

Furthermore, the menu option to select the PS5 version is poorly labelled and therefore much harder to find than it should be, making a massive meal out of what should be the easiest thing in the world for a cutting-edge piece of technology to figure out.

Sadly, for more casual PS5 owners who don't trawl gaming news sites every day there's a strong chance they'll be squandering their PS5's power potential until Sony (hopefully) delivers a patch.

If you're unsure which version of a game you're playing, you can look up "Game Version" on the game's menu icon.
