Brace yourselves, gamers! The buzz about Sony’s next-generation video game console, the PlayStation 5 (PS5), cannot be ignored. We’re here to fill you in on the release date and everything else you should know about this highly anticipated new system.
When Will Sony Release Playstation 5?
First and foremost, the all-important date: Sony has officially announced that the PlayStation 5 will hit the shelves on November 12, 2020, in select markets. For the rest of the world, the date to mark on your calendar is November 19, 2020.
Initial reactions from gaming enthusiasts indicate the PS5 may just be the most powerful gaming console to date. We’re talking about the kind of power that will take your gaming experience to a whole new level! So, let’s dive into what awaits in this advanced gaming universe.
Playstation 5 Main Features
As expected, the PS5 boasts some impressive hardware upgrades. The PS5 is a massive upgrade from its predecessor, the PS4. It comes with an eight-core AMD Zen 2 processor, 16GB of GDDR6 memory, and a custom RDNA 2 AMD GPU. All these specs might sound a little technical, but this simply means that the PS5 is built to offer breath-taking graphics, ultra-high-speed, and creatives’ freedom to develop the kind of games we have not yet imagined.
One of the signature enhancements of the PS5 is its bespoke high-speed SSD (Solid State Drive). This 825GB SSD eliminates loading times and ensures that games boot up within a second, with virtually instantaneous load times for installed PS5 games.
Sony has also introduced a new PS5 DualSense controller, taking a leap into immersive gaming. The controller haptic feedback and dynamic adaptive triggers enable you to experience varied, powerful sensations while playing, like the grittiness of driving through mud.
On the other hand, the PS5 will offer backward compatibility, meaning you can run your PS4 games on the new system. This is a feature that fans have been asking for and Sony has confirmed that an “overwhelmingly majority” of the 4000+ PS4 titles will be playable on the PS5.
And last but certainly not least, the PS5’s design. Sony has certainly shaken things up this time around. Abandoning the more conservative black chassis that we have seen since the PS2, the PS5 comes in a white and black design, shaped much like a router than a traditional games console. This cosmetic change symbolizes the leap that Sony is taking from the PS4.
On the cost front, the PS5 Standard Edition will be $499, and the PS5 Digital Edition (without a disc drive) at $399.
Conclusion
Get ready, gamers. The PS5 is more than just a gaming console. It is a multi-dimensional entertainment system designed to offer an immersive gaming experience. So, mark your calendars and gear up for the dawn of a new gaming era with Sony’s PlayStation 5!
