Sony confirmed the PS5 release date window at the CES 2020. The company’s next-gen gaming console is slated for a 2020 holiday season launch though a specific date is yet to be announced.
Surprisingly, Sony did not show an actual PlayStation 5 at the CES 2020. Instead, the company chose to reveal the upcoming console’s logo, which is not so shockingly different from the PS4 logo. CNN wrote that Sony just changed the number 4 to 5 to reflect on the upcoming console’s model and the font seems a bit rounder.
However, the PS5’s logo became a massive hit on social media. According to Metro, it became Instagram’s most-liked image for games and has already earned more than 5 million likes. For comparison, the recently revealed Xbox Series X, PS5’s competitor, only had under a million likes.
Based on an earlier PS5 prototype that Sony registered in Brazil last year, the actual console might look very different from the PS4. It will sport a massive V-design at the top, which likely stands for the Roman numeral “V” for five. It also looks bulkier than the streamlined PS4 silhouette but it remains to be seen if this is the final design Sony opted for the upcoming console.
“I think we can expect a significantly different PS5 design at launch,” said Piers Harding-Rolls, a director of the data and information services firm IHS Markit. “It's possible some of the design cues may transition over.”
Sony also revealed that the console will have 3D audio support, as reported by CNET. This adds depth to its sound and gamers will really feel a particular sound comes from a specific point in 3D space. Pairing this up with a VR gear means a very immersive gaming experience indeed.
The PlayStation 5 will likewise feature a solid-state drive which means games will load faster than ever. It will also be powered by AMD graphic chips as well as hardware ray-tracing support.
Sony has not yet made any announcement on the PS5 price but estimates say that it’ll likely cost around $499. This pricing should make it competitive enough to go head to head with Microsoft’s Xbox Series X, which is set to go on sale at around the same period.
