One of these is that the Sony has made the decision to make “X” the standard confirm button for all regions. In the past, “O” was always the confirm button for Japan, while in North America and Europe, “X” was always chosen.

It was also noted how quiet the PlayStation 5 was in action, which will be a welcome change from how some of the most taxing games make the PS4 sound a bit like a jet engine. Furthermore, AV Watch mentions that the DualSense’s buttons also make less noise when pressed as opposed to the DualShock 4.

Speaking of the DualSense, 4Gamer gave us a glimpse at how its new light bar looks with various colors, including blue, red, green, and purple.
