So what can the PS5 Media Remote do for you? We all know that Sony’s PS5 is a phenomenal (and still much in-demand) games console, but it also functions as a fine media player in its own right. With all that graphical processing power and support for 4K output and HDR10, it’s a small matter for it to run popular streaming apps quickly and efficiently.
It’s an even more pleasant experience if you add Sony’s PS5 Media Remote into the mix. This device contains all the key buttons you need to navigate through the media listings and control the media contained within. We’re talking the usual play/pause, fast forward/rewind and menu navigation buttons, plus dedicated shortcuts for Netflix, Disney Plus, Spotify and YouTube. These latter controls will jump you straight to the chosen service, even when your PS5 is powered off. Does your current smart TV or media streaming box do that? You can also use this remote to adjust the volume of your TV, provided it’s compatible.
