The PlayStation 5 may have been out for four years, but it would surprise you how many owners are still unaware of many of the features the console is capable of.

Don’t get me wrong, as long as the PlayStation 5 runs your games and they run well and look beautiful, you don’t really need to worry about much else.

However, with the Sony console capable of things that would give us access to these games much faster, this feature is something that all owners should know about.

The feature in question was showcased in a video titled ’39 Things You Didn’t Know Your PS5 Can Do’ by YouTube account PlayStation Access back in February 2023.

Although the video is nearly two years old, it’s still being discovered by PlayStation 5 owners to this day, and it’s one mention in particular that has Sony fans shocked they didn’t know about it sooner.

Point three i video draws your attention to the possibility of pre-downloading games.

To do this, PS5 owners can purchase a game through the PlayStation app and start downloading it even when they’re away from home.

So if you want to grab a game on your lunch break, it’ll be ready to play when you get home, saving you from scowling at the download bar for the rest of the evening.

This feature can also be combined with the ability to set up automatic updates, which means that your PS5 console will download all patches, even in sleep mode, so you won’t be bombarded with them when you boot it up.

These are simple but effective ways to get the most out of your PS5, and they’re features that are by no means obvious.

As a result, fans took to the comments to share their thanks.

“It took me a while to get one, but I finally did last Christmas. Really appreciate you still posting tip videos two years later,” read one comment.

Another said: “I’ve had a PS5 for about a year and a half and I’ve STILL learned a few things!”

Now it’s time to learn all the new features that came with the PlayStation 5 Pro.
