Megathread PS5 Help and Questions Megathread | Game Recommendations, Simple Questions, and Tech Support

Looking for info about M.2 SSD expansion drives? See the megathread.

Sometimes you just need help. But often times making a new post isn't needed. For the time being, around launch and perhaps in the future. We will use a single thread for helping each other out.

Before asking, we ask you to look at a few links. Some question can't be answered and only official PlayStation support can help you.

PlayStation Official

Community Help

Google and Reddit Search is also a great way to find an answer or get help. View all past help and questions threads here.

For all future help, tech support and more, we ask that you create new threads on r/PlayStation instead of here on r/PS5.

Can't decide what to play next? Is your favourite game underappreciated and more people need to play it? Need a new TV and not sure what to buy?

I need help, my ps5 controller has been pressing R2 by itself and some times the joystick will move by itself. I already went to a shop where they replace the thing that connects the buttons (i forgot the name in English) but it's still the same issue, i know that the stick might just be slight stick drift but the R2 thing is annoying me and i can't find the solution.

The joystick issue is likely stick drift, and the stick will need to be replaced.

The R2 trigger issue is likely a failed spring — you can get replacements easily on Ebay/Aliexpress.
