Editing ★ Debug Settings

The '''Debug Settings''' (''stylized as'' '''★ Debug Settings''') describes additional preferences in the Settings Menu, which are only available on Nonretail consoles. "★Debug Settings", which is one of the "Settings" items, is provided only for the development machines and includes various features for development support.


==Overview==

'''Note''': The following ★ Debug Settings are taken from a PS5 TESTKIT DFI-T1000AA, and as such some DevKit only features are missing.
