The last thing you want to see when sitting down to play the best PS5 games is that your account has been compromised. Sadly, this is a problem anyone can fall victim to whether you play multiplayer games or not. Getting hacked can be a huge problem, which is why we always recommend setting up some security measures. One of the latest options PlayStation has offered is called the passkey. This can make it easier and safer to use your PS5 while playing anything from the best free games or any upcoming game. Setting it up only takes a few seconds, so don't wait until it's too late.
Once your account is secure, we can help you learn how to game share on PS5 as well.
When you're ready to set up a passkey on your PS5, follow the instructions below.
Step 1: Select Settings on your PS5 home screen.
Step 2: Select Users and Accounts.
Step 4: Choose Sign in with Passkey.
Step 5: Scan the QR code on the screen using your mobile device.
Step 6: Sign in to your PlayStation account on the Sony website.
Step 8: Choose to use your mobile device's screen lock as a passkey. This will be the same as the method you use to unlock your phone.
You should now receive a prompt telling you that you can use your passkey to sign in. Your password will be deactivated at this point, making the passkey the only method with which you can log into your PlayStation account going forward.
Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.
Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.
Gaming laptops and I have a complicated relationship. One of my first gaming rigs was an Acer Predator that was already outdated when I bought it. I was a broke college kid, and that was the best I could afford. So trying out high-end gaming laptops is always fun. But ASUS' ROG Zephyrus G14 is a lot more than a laptop that can run AAA games. It is portable, so you're not lugging around a 2.5kg machine everywhere you go. It is built well, none of that plastic chassis, and can even function as a normal laptop outside of just gaming.
Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.
Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
