To identify your PS5 region, check the packaging or the system settings. On the box, you’ll often see a region code like 'R1' or 'R2.' In the PS5 settings, navigate to System > System Information to look for region-specific details. Region codes matter for compatibility with games, DVDs, and PS Store content, so ensure your content matches your console's region. Another way is to check the label on the console itself, typically found at the back or bottom of the device.
