The PlayStation 5 has streamlined many aspects of the gaming experience, but there's been a bit of confusion here and there in terms of navigating its menus and settings. Gameplay is great, but no one tells you how to use the PS5 web browser or how to customize your PS5 controller button layout.

One of the ways in which Sony's latest console can be a bit strange is in how it hides away your library of purchased games. No worries, though, as we'll tell you how to find all of your purchased PS5 games.

We also saw the mouse at Computex 2026, where it appeared much closer to a finished retail product. Its defining feature remains the tiny Noctua fan built into the shell, designed to push air toward your palm during long gaming sessions.

Gaming against AI could make you more confident with real teammates

Artificial intelligence is often blamed for making people less social.

Instead, it made them more confident, kept them playing longer, and even encouraged them to squad up with friends more often. The findings, which will appear in the journal Information Systems Research, offer an interesting perspective on how AI can improve user experiences rather than simply automating them.
