    Absolute Lifesaver for Unwinding After Work

At a glance

The PlayStation 5 Console is a premium home gaming console that suits gamers and families who want both physical disc playback and digital downloads in one system. Its strengths are immersive controller features, strong online connectivity, backwards compatibility and 4K Blu-ray support. One limitation is that its 1 TB storage can fill quickly if you install many large games.

What it’s great for

  • Console Gaming
  • 4K Home Entertainment
  • Physical and Digital Game Libraries
  • Family Gaming
  • Online Multiplayer

Where it works best

  • Living Room
  • Media Room
  • Family Entertainment Area
  • Gaming Setup
  • Bedroom TV Setup

Who it’s for

  • Hardcore Gamer
  • Family Household
  • Casual Gamer
  • Online Player
  • PlayStation Fan

Things to consider

The 1 TB internal storage is useful for everyday play, but players with large modern game libraries may need to manage installs more often than on higher-capacity setups.

Hardcore gamer suitability

9/10 - Strong fit for serious players thanks to immersive controller features, fast connectivity options and access to major PlayStation releases.

Family suitability

Very good for shared household use, with support for physical discs, digital titles and a broad range of game styles.

Online gaming fit

9/10 - Excellent for online play with Wi-Fi 6 support, Ethernet-ready home setups and broad multiplayer game support.

Exclusive game access score

9/10 - Strong access to PlayStation-exclusive titles and first-party releases that make the platform appealing to dedicated fans.

Noise level vs category average

7/10 - Generally quiet for a high-performance disc console, though disc activity can be more noticeable than fully digital alternatives.

Key benefits

  • Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive: Lets you play physical PS5 games and watch 4K Blu-ray movies from one console.
  • DualSense Wireless Controller: Adds more immersive control with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers during supported games.
  • Backwards Compatibility: Gives access to a wide range of supported PlayStation 4 titles, adding value to an existing game library.
  • Tempest 3D AudioTech: Creates more enveloping in-game sound through compatible headphones or TV speakers.
  • Wi-Fi 6 Support: Supports 802.11ax wireless networking for potentially faster and more stable home internet connections on compatible networks.
  • HDMI 2.1 Connectivity: Makes it easy to connect the console to modern TVs for advanced gaming and home entertainment setups.
  • USB Type-A and USB Type-C Ports: Simplifies charging, accessory connection and everyday setup flexibility.
  • 1 TB Storage Capacity: Provides room for a healthy mix of installed games, save data and media before storage management becomes necessary.

Q: Is this the PS5 disc version or digital-only console

A: This is the disc version of the PlayStation 5 Console. It can run physical game discs and Ultra HD Blu-ray movies as well as digital downloads, so it suits buyers who do not want to rely only on the PlayStation Store.

Q: Do I need a 4K TV to use this PS5

A: No. The PlayStation 5 Console connects over HDMI, so it can still be used on a non-4K TV. A compatible 4K display is only needed if you want the console's 4K video output for supported games and Ultra HD Blu-ray playback.

Q: Does this PS5 console come with a controller included

A: Yes. The PlayStation 5 Console includes one DualSense wireless controller in the box, so you can start playing after setup. Extra controllers are only needed for local multiplayer, or if you want a second one ready while the first is charging.

Q: Is a vertical stand included with PlayStation 5 model 166601

A: No. PlayStation 5 model 166601 does not include every accessory for a vertical setup. A vertical stand is sold separately, so factor that in if you plan to display the console upright rather than place it flat in a TV unit.

Q: Does the PS5 model 166601 support Wi-Fi 6 connections

A: Yes. PlayStation 5 model 166601 supports 802.11ax Wi-Fi, which is commonly referred to as Wi-Fi 6. Wireless performance still depends on the router, signal strength and internet service, so faster Wi-Fi support does not guarantee faster online play on its own.

Q: Is 1TB storage enough if I buy mostly digital games

A: PlayStation 5 model 166601 has 1TB of storage, which suits a solid mix of installed games and media for many households. It is not unlimited space, so buyers with a large all-digital library may need to manage installs more often.
