How to Preset PS5 Game Difficulty, Performance, Subtitles, and Audio Settings

PlayStation 5 games are fun once you get past the initial setup process. This is where you choose your preferred game settings like difficulty level, subtitles, controls, audio, etc. These settings allow you to customise the gameplay experience to suit your preferences and needs. However, it can get frustrating to make these changes repeatedly whenever you have to play a new game.

This is where PlayStation 5 game preset settings come to the rescue. It lets you set some commonly seen video game settings so you do not have to adjust them manually. Here is how you can use the settings.
