In a surprising announcement that rocked the gaming industry last month, PlayStation 5 lead architect Mark Cerny provided some major details about the next-gen console. Following that, fans have been asking more about the device and what titles Sony is planning for it.
While some have been hoping that the PlayStation 5 will be making an appearance in the upcoming State of Play slated for tomorrow, Sony has shut down this hope with its latest announcement. In its PlayStation blog, the company is apologizing that they’ll not be able to provide more information about their plans regarding next-gen console during the stream.
The announcement comes in the wake of news announcing that the PlayStation 5 will not be released in the first quarter of 2020, likely hitting the shelves in the fall next year. This isn’t surprising since such launch date will provide Sony with a lot of time to show off their next-gen console, particularly during E3 2020.
The company has already revealed that they don’t have any plans of attending E3 this year, citing limited content to present during the event. They also don’t want to share headlines with their competitors and are content to present their own work in their own time. As for what gamers can expect for the PlayStation 5, simply think that this next-gen console isn’t merely an upgrade to its predecessor.
It has 3D audio, backward compatibility, an eight-core CPU on AMD’s third-gen Ryzen series, a GPU with ray-tracing capabilities, and can support 8k resolutions. But the most talked about feature of the PlayStation 5 is its solid-state drive. In an attempt to demonstrate how powerful this SSD is, Cerny pitted it against the PlayStation 4 to see the speed difference in how both devices load out a game.
Cerny picked out “Marvel’s: Spider-Man” for the demonstration. While it took the PS4 15 seconds to load the game, the PlayStation 5 managed it in merely 0.8 seconds. This speed is remarkable as it drastically reduces the time being wasted when fast-traveling within a game, allowing for smoother gameplay and strengthening the immersive nature of a particular title.
As for its cost, it’s being speculated that it will land around the $500 mark. Sony will unlikely overprice the PlayStation 5 given their history with the approach and how it negatively affected them when they implemented it years ago.
