Sony Says PlayStation 5 Will be Released This Year
Sony revealed this week that the highly anticipated PlayStation 5 will be coming later this year.
On Thursday the company unveiled the game console design and revealed which games would be launching for the console.
No pricing or a release date for the PS5 was given, but it is expected to go on sale at the end of 2020.
Sony showed two versions of the PS5 console, including one standard “PlayStation 5” and another “PlayStation 5 Digital Edition” that doesn’t have a disc reader.
Earlier this year Sony had said the console will run on an eight-core AMD Zen 2 processor. On Thursday the company said that it will sell several accessories for the new PS5 including a wireless headset with 3D audio support, an HD camera so gamers can broadcast themselves while playing games, a special media remote for navigating through the PS5 menu and a DualSense charging station to power up controllers.
