PlayStation 5¶

Platform-specific layer for PS5. Provides save-data I/O through IFileSystem, Trophies and a Activities API on top of the Sony PS5 SDK.

Setup¶

Install the following packages through Package Manager:

com.unity.commondialog.ps5
com.unity.inputsystem.ps5
com.unity.playgo.ps5
com.unity.psn.ps5
com.unity.render-pipelines.ps5
com.unity.savedata.ps5
com.unity.share.ps5

Info

You can find all required packages on the Unity Discussions forum. A Unity Pro license is required.

Check that all UpscaleSDK.Platfrom.PS5 assembly references are configured correctly.

Trophies¶

Ps5Trophies is the PS5 player-award API

Unlocking¶

Ps5Trophies.Unlock(1);

Activities¶

Ps5Activities reports start / finish state for the PS5 Activities system.

Start / finish¶

Ps5Activities.StartActivity("activity_main_story_chapter_1");
Ps5Activities.FinishActivity("activity_main_story_chapter_1", ActivityResult.Completed);

`ActivityResult`¶

Value	Meaning
`Completed`	Player finished the activity successfully
`Failed`	Player failed an objective
`Abandoned`	Player quit before completing

Saves¶

Game code talks to the cross-platform UPSSaves.Prefs / UPSSaves.Saver APIs (see Manual → Saves). The PS5-specific bits are the storage allocation size (SavesSettings.SaveSize in MB) and the underlying PS5FileSystem implementation, which routes calls through Sony's save-data service.

Error handling¶

Save-data error handling on PS5 is automatic. When a save or load fails with no space or broken data, PS5FileSystem opens the matching Sony system message dialog (NoSpaceContinuable, Corrupted) and forwards a human-readable message through ErrorHandler.RaiseError(...). You don't need to author your own canvas or wire up per-error UI - the platform layer handles both the OS dialog and the error event.
