PlayStation 4 continues to do well, especially thanks to the updates that led to the introduction of Slim, Pro and PlayStation VR models, the growing console game capabilities, and many of the best titles we will keep you entertained.
However, the PS4 is slowly approaching the end of its life cycle and details about its long awaited restoration are starting to emerge.
The Sons have invited several media outlets to visit their California headquarters to see what is expected of the new generation of consoles. The event showed some exciting results for the first version of the app, including a new CPU and GPU and a very fast SSD installation that almost makes loading times a thing of the past.
Since then, Wired media also has exclusive releases on many of the console data, including information on hardware and, what's most exciting, is the official release date, while patent leaks give us our first look at the next generation of DualShock 5 controllers.
We have all the details here, so read on if you want to know more about the new PlayStation 5.
When will the PS5 be sold?
Now Tony has confirmed that the 2020 holiday season will be the official launch date of the PS5, and yes, the company has also confirmed the PS5 as an official name (thankfully).
Now we also have the logo, the only thing that Sony announced for the PS5 during its opening talk at CES 2020.
As far as we suspect, this puts you online to compete with the next generation of the Microsoft Xbox Series X, which will be launched sometime before Christmas 2020. The battle of the new generation is comforting.
With regard to the disclosure of hardware complete, there are a few rumors floating around the web right now. Rumors that the PS5 will be unveiled at an event in New York on February 5, but apparently that didn't happen.
The "God of War" developer, David Jaffe, also announced that it would arrive in February, although it will be over a month. In fact, an engineer said it would be revealed at an event on February 13 … and that happened. So basically no one seems to know.
Although Tony did not specify that at the launch of "Holiday 2020" we should expect to see the console, but people seem happy with tweet
Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) will launch PlayStation®5 (PS5 ™) in many countries during the 2020 holidays and will make PlayStation®5 (PS5 ™) available in North America on November 20, 2020 at retail prices (RRP) $ 499 pic.twitter.com/fe4jKlHmrH

The alleged price and release date sound reasonable, and the Twitter user has a history behind correctly predicting the actual release date of The Last of Us 2, but we recommend that you consider it a more realistic prediction.
It's not the only claim made by a Twitter user, since he sent a message that the pre-PS5 order will be available from March 5, not February as some rumors suggest.
One last thing to keep in mind: don't expect to know more about the new console at this year's E3 event. Tony has already confirmed that this year's big video game will be skipped, so we won't see PS5 news there.
How much does the new PlayStation cost?
Without knowing exactly what's on offer, it's impossible to predict exactly how much the PS5 will cost. Given that The PS2 costs about 239 euros, PS3 425 and PS4 365 pounds sterling, we can only swear that Sony will keep its price at about 400 euros.
The new generation of CPU and GPU, combined with an internal SSD drive, can mean that it can be much more expensive than we are used to.
However, due to the changing nature of the gaming environment, Tony may not be trying to make money by selling his cosmetics at all and may not even advertise to as many homes as possible, and relying on after-game marketing resources to generate revenue for all phases of each console's life.
What will the PS5 look like?
A report by LetsGoDigital claims to have received a patent for a V-shaped device. This website compares the patent system with another similar PS4 system in Brazil, as evidence that it could be a PS5 patent. You can check ownership in the next image.
The patent application shows that the inventor of the anonymous device is Yusuhiro Ootori, Sony's technical director. V can be referred to as the Roman number V, which is the number five.
Obviously, this could be a design that the company can eventually implement. In fact it's very different from the old PS4 design, and it actually reminds us a lot of the original Xbox that had the X-shaped design.
If this is ultimately not a PS5 build, then it could be closer to your final build any concept images available on the web.
Service of to broadcast PlayStation Now and digital downloads may be enough to remove the discs, so it can also be an integrated tool.
Below we show a picture of the formation we have acquired over the net.
What features will the PS5 have?
The PS5 will feature the CPU and GPU produced by AMD.
The CPU is based on the third-generation Ryzen AMD series, and will contain 8 cores for the new 7 nm Zen 2 company.
The GPU will be a variant of the Radeon family of Navi and will support ray tracing, a graphics technology that allows you to provide a truly brighter path within the game, allowing direct exposure to water and deep shadows and with great response.
Ray-tracking technology was released by Nvidia at the launch of its RTX cards at Gamescom 2018, and you can see their results in the following video.
Development of hardware The most requested of developers and players is SSD (Solid State Drive). As games grow and graphics develop, so much for hardware Saving games.
The event featured a classic version of the future console that showed the difference in loading times using Spiderman's 2018 theme as an example. The faster navigation feature requires the console to load a completely new environment, and on the PS4 this took about 15 seconds, while on the new forum console it took 0.8 seconds.
This huge increase in data transfer speed also allows developers and developers to create an experience where an actor can travel to a more detailed world much faster than it currently does.
Currently, Spiderman can only move around the world at high speed speeds because the console can't build a world around it quickly.
The demo showed the character traveling at a speed close to the fighter plane, pausing to show the detailed world that was uploaded no matter how fast the character was moving. This really opens up many opportunities for the future of gambling.
The new AMD chip also will contain a custom 3D audio unit, which allows for great surround sound, as you can hear the sound obviously in all directions. This will be available to all speakers, but the gold standard will always be used by headphones to get the best audio experience possible.
PSVR headphones will also be compatible with the new console and, when built on the same design as the PS4, there will be a transition period in which the titles will be released in both programs. And it will be compatible with previous versions to play PS4 titles in the latest generation console.
It is also said to take over hardware, Though the industry is undoubtedly evolving into digital distribution channels and the experience of being free will make streaming services from video games like Google & # 39; s Stadia.
Will the PS5 provide VR (Virtual Reality) support?
Sony has confirmed that the RV will be an integral part of its next model, which will not be too surprising. However, we do not have any specific details on how that program will be, because Sony is keeping a tight secret at the moment.
PSVR headphones available They will be compatible with the latest generation console, so you won't have to buy a new one. However, we may be surprised that sometimes a new generation of headware has not been seen using that new standard. hardware that appears in the next console.
Will it carry like a Nintendo switchch?
One of the key questions around the PS5 is that Tony will follow in the footsteps of Nintendo and introduce a handheld / hand console hybrid such as Nintendo Switch.
There are some precedents, of course: Sony has previously introduced the PlayStation Portable and the PlayStation Vita, and the latter can connect to the PS4 and be used as a screen and remote control for games.
However, the disappointing sales of the Vita mean that it is possible for Sony to have more ambition to return to the market with available devices. In addition, the current PS4 domain is in part due to its position as the most powerful console in the market: we can't see Sony doing the kind of concessions according to the specifications needed to make the physical form work.
However, John Kodera's comment from May 2018 suggests that the idea could be on the table too. One interview with BloombergKodera said:
"In my opinion, instead of separating mobile games from consoles, it's worth continuing to think of them (mobile games) as a way to offer more game experience and look at what our customers want from laptops. We want to think about it with more options."
Which PS5 video games have been confirmed?
While we can think of many PS5 games – God of War 2 is possible, and of course Spider-Man 2 – there are only two confirmed so far: Godfall and Outriders.
Godfall, the "looter" concept of the Borderlands Gearbox publishing house, was announced at the 2019 Games and looks like it will be the opening title, with the release date "Holiday 2020". It's a special PS5 console, but the Xbox launch was not planned, but it will also reach the PC. Watch the launch trailer here:
Outriders is a game looter-shooter Humans Can Fly, but at least it has a decent trailer for the game to watch, even if you remember that it was captured from a PC, not from a PS5:
