This is the creation of Alex Grade, an independent game developer. Grade's latest work is a mini-game built on Unreal Engine 4 and released for free on itch.io. Speaking with Polygon, Grade stated: “I couldn't afford the console right away, but I still wanted to experience owning a PS5, so I made a game just for myself, where I imagined the feeling of having a PS5.”So, gamers have a hilarious 10-minute long absurd gameplay, from the moment the console arrives at the door, unboxing it, finding a power outlet to plug it in, and waiting for the controllers to be delivered. But that's not all to experience the game; gamers also have to... fix the router, go get the game disc, only to find out... the SSD loads the game too fast, downloading all the games before even starting to play. Absurd and nonsensical, perhaps those are the perfect words to describe this PS5 Simulator.https://twitter.com/alxgrade/status/1328807147627491328It only took a few days for Alex Grade's PS5 Simulator to reach nearly 15,000 downloads on itch.io, proving that this absurdity has garnered a lot of attention, especially amidst the PS5 shortage everywhere. It could be due to retailers hoarding stock or simply not having enough to sell to everyone who wants one. If you want to experience the 'unboxing' feeling of the PS5, you can download the game here, of course, completely free: https://alxgrade.itch.io/ps5-simulator
