Along with the price of the new consoles and their initial catalog, another of the doubts that we have for PS5 and Xbox Series X are their release dates. Although many users estimated a release in November, similar to what happened with PS4 and Xbox One in 2013, it seems that Sony will be targeting October.
A job offer for Sony Interactive Entertainment in Rikunabi mentions a procurement manager who should help select the best vendor components to use in PS5 manufacturing. The most interesting is the detail that puts date: "To create the PlayStation 5, scheduled to launch in October 2020".
