Players will be able to use a host of new features not available on the PlayStation 4 that gives more options for sharing gameplay clips and photos along with the ability to quickly jump in and out of games.

The PlayStation 5 can capture 4K screenshots and video. Friends together in a party can easily share screenshots and video amongst themselves or on social media. Players can also share their screen, allowing their friends to view what they are playing through a picture-in-picture mode.

The console also has a new feature called Control Center that pops up after hitting the PlayStation button. The Control Center lays out different levels and objectives players can immediately jump to in a game through activity cards.

The activity cards explain how long it should take to complete certain objectives in games and has a help mode that provides videos on how to clear specific levels or sections of a game.
