Currently available on the market are three major video game consoles: Microsoft’s Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Sony’s PlayStation 4 (PS4). As a component of the eighth generation of the video game system, it was launched in late 2013. As a successor to the PlayStation 3 and the hugely successful PlayStation 2, the PS4 is more powerful than its predecessors while yet fitting into a smaller chassis.

Later in 2016, two improved PS4 models—a Pro model with higher power and a Slim variant with a smaller frame—were introduced.
The Whole Story of the PlayStation 4
Sony was resolved to learn from its errors and create a platform with the wide appeal of the PlayStation 2, which is still the best-selling console ever, along with greater power and features after the PlayStation 3 had a less than stellar run.
Sony prioritized controller enhancements, social features that enable players to record and share gameplay, and technology that enables online gaming.
The PS4 featured a variety of interesting features along with improved processing and graphics capabilities, as any new system would.
Features of PlayStation 4
Social Features: The PlayStation 4, which was released concurrently with the huge rise in popularity of streaming games, lets users share images and live gameplay by simply clicking on a new Share button.
New Controller: The DualShock 4 controller sticks are more user-friendly and have more precise triggers. Rechargeable controllers with a share button that lets you post screenshots and games are available. In addition to having motion tracking akin to that of the Wii, the DualShock 4 also features a color-changing light bar above. There are some games that allow you to use the Share button as a touchpad.
Remote Play: The PS4 can be controlled by more than just the controller. The PS4 system can communicate with smartphones, tablets, and the portable PlayStation Vita device to control specific functions, such as media. Additionally, all PS4 titles support Remote Play, allowing you to play complete PS4 games on the Vita from anywhere in the globe while the console handles all the processing from the comfort of your living room.
PS4 Pro and PS4 Slim (PlayStation 4 Pro and PS4 Slim)
In September 2016, Sony announced the PlayStation 4 Pro, a more powerful console, and offered a slimmed-down version of the PlayStation 4.
The PlayStation 4 Slim had comparable technical specifications to the original PS4, but it was 40% smaller and had some design and visual upgrades.
When it was introduced in November 2016, the PS4 Pro offered a notable increase in processing power. The PS4 Pro was able to produce 4K gameplay, although the regular PS4 could only process 4K-quality media material. Better graphics, resolution, and rendering are available for gamers on the PS4, which up until the Xbox One X’s November 2017 release was the most capable system available.
