Force 5GHz
How to force your PS5 to use your faster 5GHz wifi band
As it turns out, Sony doesn’t connect your PS5 to your 5GHz band by default. Instead, it uses an automatic setting to connect to whichever band it thinks the PS5 should connect to. As a relatively new PS5 owner, I didn’t know that, until I came across this Reddit thread pointed it out. I went to see which band my PS5 was using, and, wouldn’t you know: 2.4 GHz.
Sony probably does this to limit issues from users who keep their PlayStations too far from the router. If the PS5 defaulted to 5GHz but the range between the console to the router was too great, internet stability would suffer. By defaulting to 2.4GHz, Sony makes it easier to connect to your wifi no matter where you are, but at the expense of speed.
Sony doesn’t make it obvious how to force your PS5 to connect to the 5GHz band, but it’s easy enough. Hop into Settings, then head to Network Settings Set Up Internet Connection. Hover over your current network, then press the Options button and choose Advance Settings Wi-Fi Frequency Bands. Switch the option from “Automatic” to “5 GHz” and you’re set.
20 Free Games:
The program has been quietly rolled out by PlayStation and lets new PS5 owners pick a free game from a pretty stacked list. The list is almost entirely made up of PS5 PlayStation exclusives which means there are some pretty big names on there. The Last Of Us Part 1, God Of War Ragnarok, and both of Insomniac’s Spider-Man games. Likely popular picks, especially with the program coming to an end on October 20, 2023, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 release day.

Best Controllers For PS5
There are 12 games to choose from, so basically every exclusive PlayStation has released on PS5 so far, plus the Death Stranding Director’s Cut for good measure. Things get a little confusing when it comes to when this program started and who exactly is eligible. The wording on the program’s support page makes it very clear that only new PS5 owners are eligible to claim a free game. However, there’s no start date on the program so it isn’t clear when you need to have activated your PS5 to be in the running for a free game.
