I’m considering getting a PS5 since gaming PCs are quite pricey in my country. However, I’ve never used a PS5 before and I’m not sure how to install games. Is there a specific store for this, like Steam, or should I look into something like a subscription service where I can play lots of games for a monthly fee, similar to Apple Arcade? I’m concerned about the cost since games can be expensive. Any tips would be appreciated!

Definitely check out PlayStation Plus! It’s the subscription service that offers three free games each month while your membership is active. There are three tiers: Essential gives you random games; Extra is like Apple Arcade, adding more games monthly but removing some too; and Premium includes access to classic games and game trials. You’ll also get discounts and cloud storage. It’s a solid deal if you’re into exploring new titles!
Just to clarify, you’ll need to decide whether to get the disc or digital edition of the PS5 first. The disc edition allows you to buy physical games, while the digital version banks on downloads. Both types come with access to the PlayStation Store which is filled with a wide variety of games at various prices. Definitely do some research on what fits your gameplay style best!
You can install PS5 games from the PlayStation Store as well as from physical discs. If you go for the disc edition, you can buy or borrow physical copies and keep or sell them later. If you prefer to download games, the digital edition is the way to go. The PlayStation Store is free to access, and it has thousands of games available, including free options!

Thanks for the tips! I think I’m leaning towards the digital version because I love the idea of having a library I can access anytime!
