If you didn't manage to pre-order a PS5, or just can't afford the Sony console, don't panic: a developer has thought about creating a PS5 “simulator”. Ah, the joy of receiving a new console, unboxing it and plugging it in!
Bad luck for videogame developer Alex Grade, who can't afford to buy the PS5 upon its release. And anyway, even if he could do that, the console sold worldwide. But the inability to obtain Sony's prized console did not stop the developer from all of that.
So Alex Grade developed his PS5 simulator in order to bridge the "gap". His game, simply titled PS5 Simulator, comes in the form of a 1GB data archive and starts on Windows (no macOS release has been planned). Once done, you're happy to discover the contents of the box you just received and connect the console to the TV in the living room, while keeping as quiet as possible.
PS5 emulator can do almost anything
“It includes the worst cable management - just like in real life,” that's how the PS5 Emulator is presented among other things. The game invites you to play as a new buyer of Sony's console, which will not be released before November 19, 2020 in France. What do you put a "virtual" hand on the PS5 before anyone else.
You will first have to go and find it on the doorstep, find a knife to open the box, connect it to your TV ... in short, do all the operations you would have done if you had just received the new Sony console. For the occasion, the developer of the simulator has designed an entire house, where you can navigate as you see fit, move objects that are bothering you, etc. And be careful not to drop the TV by tampering with the console cables, it is a real hassle to get on your feet again!

In addition, as shown by the GIF playing in a loop on the game's download site, it is possible to even throw the console at the TV if a "problem" occurs with the console. Once the console is up and running, you'll be able to turn it on, but don't expect to be able to shoot Spider-Man Miles Morales in 4K of course either.
Although the simulator is 100% functional, it is clearly a big nod to gamers around the world who are desperately waiting for the console release. The emulator is free and can be downloaded using the link below.
