Sony is Fighting Climate Change By Scaling Back PS5 Performance

An anonymous reader shares a report: Sony is testing a Power Saver mode for the PlayStation 5, explaining in a new PlayStation Blog update that the option will permit games to run with lower power consumption. While the upcoming feature was revealed as part of the system update beta, the feature will not be available during the beta phase. However, when the feature does hit your console, players will gain access to a new option called Power Saver. With Power Saver enabled, "supported PS5 games will scale back performance and will allow your PS5 to reduce its power consumption," explained Shuzo Kikuchi, VP of product management at Sony Interactive Entertainment. "If not enabled, or if games do not support the feature, the performance will not be scaled back and power consumption will not be reduced." As for what scaled-back performance actually means, SIE indicates that VR mode will be unavailable and that "some gameplay features may be limited." So that's one very clear change, and one vague, game-specific change.

As I already reported online about the RX1R III being announced without any previous rumors or leaks and with a ridiculously high price for the camera and accessories:

The reason there were no leaks is becuase this time Sony did not let anyone know in advance of the existence of the RX1R III. Now they know how to stop the leaks if they want to, but I seriously doubt they will.

Jared Polin was the only influencer who actually had the guts to say something about all of this - "Sony, you are not Leica":
