Sometimes the coolest features are those most easily glossed over because Sony hasn't done a great job of keeping them in players' minds. 

And in this instance we're talking about the ability to double-tap the PS5's home button - that's the PlayStation logo button between the two thumbsticks - to view your most recently viewed item.

This could be an activity card or trophy while playing a game, a piece of news on the main PS5 menu, or even an app like Spotify. 

It's a handy way to get back to something you were futzing around with earlier, without needing to go through the rigmarole of bringing it up again from scratch.

It might not be a game-changer compared to other features on this list, but it's still a nifty little time-saver that'll become pure muscle memory if you use it enough.
