If you're an avid PS5 gamer, you may have experienced the frustration of getting stuck on a level or puzzle. But fear not! There are two little-known tricks that can help you out and get you back on track. Whether you need a walkthrough or some hints, these hacks will save the day.
PS5 Trick #1 – Pin It!
The first trick involves unlocking your PlayStation's hidden web browser. By loading up websites and pinning them to the side of your screen, you can keep a walkthrough or YouTube tutorial visible at all times. This brilliant hack was discovered by a Reddit user who shared, "Just found out you can pin websites to the side of your screen while playing." To use this feature, simply send or receive a website in a chat message with a friend on your PS5. Click the link and it will open a web browser. Press Options and pin the browser to the side of your screen. Double-tapping the PS button on your joystick allows you to switch seamlessly between the game and the pinned website.
PS5 Trick #2 – Game Help
Sony has hidden a Game Help feature within your console to provide you with a nudge in the right direction. In fact, during PS5 development, research found that the majority of players seek help for their games. If you're a Playstation Plus subscriber, this trick is available in a host of games including Astro's Playroom, Maquette, Oddworld: Soulstorm, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. When you're stuck in a game, press the PS button. If Game Help is supported for that title, a hint card will appear on the Control Center. Tap it and choose the objective you're stuck on to get some assistance. Switch between hints using L1/R1 and for added convenience, pin hints to the side of the screen to view while playing.
These two clever PS5 tricks are a game-changer for any player who finds themselves stuck on a level or puzzle. With the ability to pin websites and access built-in hints, you'll be able to overcome any gaming challenge that comes your way.
