During their “Future of Gaming” event on June 11, 2020, Sony unveiled the PlayStation 5, accompanied by a host of new game announcements. The PS5 features a distinctive, futuristic design in white with black accents and blue highlights. Sony will offer two versions of the console: a standard model with a Blu-ray disc drive, and a Digital Edition that relies solely on digital downloads and streaming. Both versions can be placed vertically or horizontally.

Here’s a video to see what the new PS5 will look like:

The DualSense Controller

There is a new button that allows users to share gameplay content. The D-pad and buttons remain on the top half of the controller, and its two analog sticks are on the bottom. The DualSense Controller has a touchpad that is center-mounted, and an integrated microphone. In addition, the new controller has “new adaptive triggers” that adjust to the resistance of the triggers for different effects of games.

PS5 Specs

Also, the PS5 is powered by an eight-core AMD Zen 2 CPU and a custom AMD RDNA 2-based GPU. Sony is using an SSD solution for quick gameplay load times. The SSD will give 5.5 GB/s of performance and 825GB of storage. This is why the company requires all games to be installed on the internal SSD for read speeds.  

The console will support 3D audio, 8K, and 4K graphics at a 120 Hz rate. Thus, Sony showed tons of gameplay that matched its quality image at the event. The games are Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Gran Turismo 7, Godfall, Demon’s Souls, Solar Ash, Resident Evil 8 Village, GothWire Tokyo, Returnal, NBA 2 K21, and many more.

Date & Price

Lastly, the release date and price have not yet been announced. However, Sony CEO Jim Ryan said: “The company planned to launch later this year.”
