As consoles become more PC-like, they have the potential to replace home computers as our go-to place for all kinds of non-gaming services.

At present, general web surfing is not one of them since the PS4's feature-light web browser is no substitute for the likes of Google Chrome or Safari, even with mouse and keyboard in place.

Including a full-fat web browser with the PS5 is not only the key to bringing more productivity to our living rooms, but also a potential way for Sony to target a broader demographic of gamers.

We're talking about casual players - those who enjoy a fleeting Angry Birds session or a few rounds of Peggle. Browser-based games could cater for this market.

As PS5 Home points out, a next-gen web browser supporting all of the latest coding languages could open up a new world of entertainment possibilities on PS5.
