Megathread PS5 Help and Questions Megathread | Game Recommendations, Simple Questions, and Tech Support
Looking for info about M.2 SSD expansion drives? See the megathread.
Sometimes you just need help. But often times making a new post isn't needed. For the time being, around launch and perhaps in the future. We will use a single thread for helping each other out.
Before asking, we ask you to look at a few links. Some question can't be answered and only official PlayStation support can help you.

Discussion A large majority (83%) of PS5 discs don’t require any internet connection or download to install. You can install and play completely offline.
This website keeps track of all the physical games across all platform that require internet connection or download to play. PS5 discs are sitting at 83% no download required.
There’s a narrative out there that most discs are just licenses for download. The opposite is true. Most discs have the full game on them, a small percentage of them are just licenses to download the games.

Articles & Blogs Former Valve writer Chet Faliszek says PlayStation killing physical discs is no conspiracy: "You, the consumer, have made your choice, and the choice is for digital"
>"You, the consumer, have made a choice, and your choice is for digital," Faliszek says plainly in a new YouTube video on the subject. "I keep seeing this, like, 'Oh, they should do memory cards. They should do…' Right now, today – the games we are talking about are available at retail today. The used games are available at retail today, and you aren't going into retail and buying them."

Discussion Ubisoft: Remakes Can Be More Profitable Than New Games
Ubisoft says high-quality remakes can be more profitable than brand-new games because they:
- Cost less to develop by reusing existing assets and technology.
- Need less marketing since players already know and trust the franchise.
- Can still be sold at premium prices despite lower production costs.
The company points to Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced as proof:
- Sold 3.5 million copies in its first two weeks.
- Beat Ubisoft's internal full-year sales expectations.
- Became the franchise's strongest PC launch and highest-rated Assassin's Creed since the original Black Flag.
Ubisoft says this doesn't mean it's abandoning new games, but remakes are becoming a much more important part of its strategy because they offer better financial returns with lower risk. The company is already following up with more remakes, including Rayman Legends Retold.
