The PlayStation 5 version of God of War Ragnarök takes advantage of the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback features of the DualSense. If you would rather have these two functions disabled when playing this action-adventure title, then you can check out this tutorial at Seeking Tech to see how you can properly do so. 

How to turn off rumble in God of War Ragnarök 

There are two ways that you can turn off vibrations in this game.  

For the first method, you need to head over to the Settings menu in God of War Ragnarök. You can do so by selecting Settings from the main menu or pause menu. Afterwards, select Controller Remapping and then move the cursor down to Controller Vibration. You can use this slider to customize the rumble intensity of the DualSense.

How to turn off adaptive triggers in God of War Ragnarök 

There is currently no way to disable adaptive triggers directly in-game when playing God of War Ragnarök. Instead, you have to turn off this feature at the system level. 

To do so, you need to take the following steps: 

  • If you are currently playing God of War Ragnarök, then you need to press and hold the PS button to open the home menu. 
  • Select Settings at the top right corner of the home menu.

How to fix One Piece Odyssey HDR issues on PS5, Xbox Series X and S 

by

When playing One Piece Odyssey on the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Digital Edition, Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S, you may notice that some scenes may look too dark while others may be very bright. The colors may look a little off as well.  

To see how you can potentially fix this display issue, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech. 

1. To start off, it is important to note that One Piece Odyssey does not officially output a HDR picture. So, if you have dynamic tone mapping or a similar mode that will convert SDR to HDR, then then colors in this anime turn-based role-playing game may end up looking not quite right.  

To get the most accurate colors when it comes to the developer’s intent, we recommend playing One Piece Odyssey in SDR without any automatic HDR conversion.  

In order to do so, you need to disable dynamic tone mapping on your television set or monitor if possible.  

You should also do the same on your console. On your PS5, you need to go over to its Settings menu and then select Video and Screen > Video Output > HDR. Afterwards, make sure HDR is set to On When Supported. 

On the Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S, you also need to go to the Settings menu of your console and then select General > TV & display options > Video modes. Next, make sure that the Auto HDR setting is disabled. 

2. If some scenes appear to be too dark or too bright, then you can try adjusting the contrast level by using the in-game menu by taking the following steps: 

  • To start off, you need to go to the Settings menu from the Start Up menu. If you are playing the game, then you can pause the screen and then go to Settings from the Pause menu. 
  • To go to Settings from the Start Up and Pause menus, you need to press the R1 or RB button to switch tabs until you get to the gear cogs icon. 
  • Once you get to the Settings tab, press the R2 or RT button to head over to the Display Settings, which is represented with the TV icon. 
  • You should find the slider in the Brightness Settings section. Here, you can try increasing or decreasing the Brightness to see if you can see better in the game. 

3. If you are still can’t get One Piece Odyssey to display a proper picture, then we recommend that you try updating the game. A new patch may fix your issue and/or even add proper HDR support.

How to change region when playing a PS1 game on PS5 

by

Sony recently started adding emulated PS1 videogames to the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition consoles. Some of these titles offer PAL and NTSC versions.  

To see how you can properly change regions for these games, you can take a look at this tutorial from Seeking Tech. 

1. For the first step, you need to turn on your game system if you haven’t done so already. 

2. Next, you need to be playing the emulated PS1 game.  

It doesn’t matter if you are playing the PS4 or PS5 version of the PS1 game on your PlayStation 5 console as the ability to change region should work on both. 

3. You then need to pause the PS1 game.  

In order to do so, you need to press the Options button on the controller. On the DualSense, this is the small button with the three horizontal lines on top. It should be in between the touch pad and the triangle button. 

4. With the game paused, scroll down and then select Settings from the emulated menu.  

5. In the Settings menu, scroll down and select the Change Region option. 

6. Afterwards, you will be given the following two options:  

  • Americas (NTSC)  
  • Europe (PAL) 

7. A pop-up message will then warn you that you will lose any unsaved process when you switch region. Select the Yes option to continue with the change.

In a vast majority of cases, PS1 games from the Americas (NTSC) region should end up running faster and/or feature a smoother frame rate. However, you are limited to just one language, which is most likely in English, most of the time.  

On the other hand, Europe (PAL) may offer multiple language options. While the PAL version may have a higher internal resolution, it shouldn’t be too noticeable as the emulator upscales both versions. 

If you don’t mind playing PS1 games in English, then the NTSC version of an emulated game on PlayStation 5 should be the best choice in a vast majority of cases.  

For the uninformed, old-school CRT television either offers a 50 Hz refresh rate or 60 Hz refresh rate. TVs from the PAL region, which are made for the U.K and the rest of Europe, use 50 Hz. The screens from NTSC regions, which includes Japan and North America, utilize 60 Hz. 

As a result, many games that came out for the PS1, as well as the PS2, end up either running slower or with a worse frame rate in PAL regions when compared to the NTSC regions. 

Thankfully, 60 Hz because the standard on flat-screen televisions with the advent of the HD TV and now the 4K TV.

How to check if a game supports Remote Play on PS5

by

One of the cooler features of the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition consoles is Remote Play, which lets you play a game on a different device. To see how you can see whether or not a game is compatible with this feature, you can take a look at this step-by-step tutorial from Seeking Tech. 

1. Start off by turning off your console and then going to the home screen. 

If you don’t know how to go home, then you can simply press and hold the PS button. You can also press the PS button and then select the house icon from there. 

2. Open the PlayStation Store from the home screen. 

3. Inside the PlayStation Store, select the game that you want to check its Remote Play compatibility status for.
