For me it's Portal & Adaptive Triggers.

Remote Play used to be something that I would test out every once in awhile but never became something that I would actually use for hours a day playing games but Portal pretty much let you forget that you're using Remote Play. You just turn it on login & play .

Adaptive Triggers didn't seem important at 1st but now it feels strange when games don't use them.

[SNPlayen]

Loading times is the biggest game changer for me. Everything else not much change to last gen.

 

[EverydayBeast]

SSD, triggers and loading times are good examples but I can't point to a signature feature that's my favorite this gen, I think gen 6, and 7 were clearly rare things like DVD, online, party chat, eye toy, motion the list goes on those gens were god like.

Strangely for me the fast loading just seems natural like it's the way things are supposed to be lol . I pretty much forgot about the fast loading.

Quick resume.

 

[Leviathicus]

SSD, but since I also have a gaming pc is not something really new to me. On the other hand haptic feedback and adaptative triggers are such a cool new experience to me. I love when games use them.

 

[Roberts]

Ssd and quick resume by far.

 

[intbal]

Quick resume is awesome for games of a certain type.
I have Midnight Club Los Angeles in a quick resume slot and whenever I feel like it I can just click it and I'm on the road driving in three seconds.

LFC is also a welcome addition to the VRR implementation on Xbox. Xbox One S/X didn't have that, so it was really only useful from 40 to 60.

 

[Magic Carpet]

the high trade in value.

 

[Mr Hyde]

SSD and fast loading. Complete game changer. Well integrated Dualsense features have also been a highlight. Very immersive when done right.

 

[Jesb]

Game streaming via GFN is by far the best new feature. It's not even close to me. I get to play PC games at max settings at 4K without breaking the bank.

 

[Maogp]

Quick Resume by far. For the first time, I believe, a console has a feature that a PC doesn't

 

[Bonfires Down]

60 fps modes

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

That loading.

 

[Edgelord79]

Quick resume.

 

[Umbral]

Dual Sense haptics and triggers and the PS5's 3D Audio.

 

[Bernardougf]

Tha ability to play second and third party games almost exclusively

 

[Deerock71]

I'm looking at Switch OLED and Steam Deck OLED and saying portability with minimal sacrifice.

 

[londontko]

Quick resume

 

[DaleinCalgary]

ssd and cheap storage upgrades

 

[Robb]

Probably quick resume. Awesome stuff.

 

[Topher]

60 fps modes

Same.

 

[Crew511A]

The ability to play really good emulation on my TV...until Microsoft killed it.

I'm not messing with dev mode.

Nintendo Company Limited, Sony Interactive Entertainment Incorporated and Microsoft Corporation thank you for your recent $70 purchase, 100% of which will go exclusively to them.

 

[SHA]

Quick resume with apps on Xbox, I genuinely beat games and use time more efficiently.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

SSD quick loading
Quick resume

 

[Crayon]

The loading times. I never bought a PS4 pro but I always said I'd pay the same just to cut the load times.

 

[Guilty_AI]

PC ports.

I haven't even played any but they make for entertaining online interactions

 

[Danjin44]

Quick load times.

 

[PixelatedBeast]

SSD and Dualsense controller. Without these two upgrades, you're basically still having a last gen experience, outside of better frame rates and higher resolution.

 

[bender]

Load times for sure.

 

[ArcaneNLSC]

"phil spencer"

Is he really a feature or a bug/glitch? I guess if its like the case of a Bethesda game I guess its true where the bug is the feature

 

[MikeM]

SSD, Dualsense and uncapped 60fps to 120fps modes.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

[FunkMiller]

the high trade in value.

 

[El Muerto]

Quick resume. The option to choose between performance and quality.

 

[Durin]

Consoles finally getting SSD storage and load times to go with that (hated Bloodborne for that on PS4), and adaptive triggers I guess.

Also just happy to see the hybrid portable form factor with the Switch still going, and the new machine coming next year should look better on 4k tvs.

 

[DeepSpace5D]

Extremely fast or non-existent load times, 60 fps being mostly a norm, and Dualsense implementation when utilized well.

Basically this gen in a nutshell for me.

 

[geary]

8K gaming as advertised on PS5 and 60 FPS/1440 on Series S on all games.

 

[WX3]

Not really into using the new hot features I just play games. I have a weird phobia about Quick Resume and performance that regardless of what reality is I see it as being detrimental to the experience. Like a game suspended will cause other titles to perform like shit, or perform like shit themselves when resumed. I have tried it several times and it worked flawlessly but I soon went back to old habits. I would like to add a PlayStation Portal to my collection however. Would be neat to have access to my PS5 while traveling or even in another room without the huge footprint of a TV etc.

 

[SweetTooth]

I agree with you, both Portal and Dualsense exceeded my expectations.

Playing Returnal or Astrobot without trigger feedback diminishes the experience a lot.

 

[Fess]

Steam ports - Xbox/Playstation
Silence - All
Portability - Switch/Steam Deck

 

[Dr.brain64]

ps5's crazy fast loading times

 

[tommib]

Barely existing loading times.

 

[ZehDon]

Quick resume.

100%. There's no going back from Quick Resume.

 

[kunonabi]

Switch - I like how the auto complete on the shop is more gaming focused.

I cant say the hybrid feature since I only play it docked since the switch is godawful as an actual handheld.

PS5 - fast loading times I guess. For my uses it's just a souped up PS4 really and none of the dual sense features have stood out to me.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

60fps
SSD
No seriously, these are very important to me. For as much flak as this gen catches, these two alone make it worth it imho.

Strangely for me the fast loading just seems natural like it's the way things are supposed to be lol . I pretty much forgot about the fast loading.

It became natural to me too until I had to use last gen stuff abroad. Then the loading was noticable and unbearable.
