PS5 Launch Day Stories & Console Impressions

It’s a day of celebration as the PS5 has released into the wild. On this special occasion, there’s a large cast gathered to discuss their PS5 launch stories, feelings about the console, the games and more. Dylan and Ashley are joined by our own Ciaran Marchant as well as Radio Watson’s, Buddy Watson!

From Demon’s Souls to Spider-Man: Miles Morales there’s certainly some heavy hitter to talk about. But it’s Astro Bots Playroom that has everyone most impressed and for good reason. Everyone agrees it’s a showcase for the biggest selling point of the PS5 — the DualSense controller.

If you missed Dylan’s “unboxing” you can watch it here.
