Ready to ditch single-player mode and dominate online? Setting up your PS5 for online gaming is easier than you think! This quick guide will have you battling opponents in no time.
First, you'll need a PlayStation Network (PSN) account. If you don't have one, create one directly on your PS5. It's free! Just follow the on-screen prompts, providing an email address and password.
Next, connect to the internet. Head to Settings > Network > Set Up Internet Connection. Choose your Wi-Fi network and enter the password, or use an Ethernet cable for a stable, wired connection. A wired connection often provides a smoother online experience.
Finally, consider PlayStation Plus. While some free-to-play games don't require it, PS Plus unlocks online multiplayer for most titles, gives you access to free monthly games, and offers exclusive discounts. You can subscribe through the PlayStation Store.
With these steps completed, you're ready to join the online gaming arena. Grab your controller and prepare for victory!
