How to set up your PS5

Setting up your PS5 is a relatively straightforward process, but there are a few things you need to do to make sure it's done correctly. Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Place the PS5 in a well-ventilated area. The PS5 needs plenty of airflow to stay cool, so make sure it's not placed in a confined space.
  2. Connect the HDMI cable to the PS5 and your TV. The HDMI cable is included in the PS5 box.
  3. Connect the power cable to the PS5 and an outlet.
  4. Turn on the PS5 and your TV.
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect your controller to the PS5.
  6. Select your language and region.
  7. Connect to the internet. You can do this using either Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable.
  8. Create a PlayStation Network account. If you already have a PSN account, you can simply sign in.
  9. Update the PS5 system software. This will ensure that you have the latest features and security updates.

Once you've completed these steps, you're ready to start playing games on your PS5!
