Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) revealed Thursday 11 June 2020 its next generation console with a stunning new design for PlayStation 5. The sleek ultra 21st century Tesla-like hardware comes with your choice of models that include a disk drive or digital-only without drive. The upgraded hardware is touted as faster with a fully immersive experience for an all-new generation of incredible PlayStation® games.
- Faster Load Time – Lightning-fast loading with ultra-high speed SSD, deeper immersion with support for haptic feedback, adaptive triggers and 3D Audio
- Upgraded Controllers – The DualSense™ wireless controller for PS5 offers immersive haptic feedback, dynamic adaptive triggers, and a built-in microphone, all while maintaining its iconic design.
When is the PlayStation 5 Available?
Sony does not include an official availability date on their PS5 summer announcement, but confirmed holidays 2020 is the rough expected launch. The PS4 came out 15 November 2013, so it is likely the PS4 will launch the second or third week of November 2020 before Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
