PlayStation 5 Reveal Event – Predictions

Last week, Sony announced that on June 4th at 9pm (BST) that they will be holding an online event showcasing new details regarding their next console; the Playstation 5.

The above video was released alongside the announcement, leading many fans to speculate what they might reveal during the event. Sony has already revealed the specifications of their new console, leading many to believe that it is actually inferior to Microsofts Xbox Series X. While on paper this is true, many developers have come out in defence of the PS5’s hardware giving similar sentiments, specifically how easy it is to develop for – due to its architecture. Whether these will hold true in the long run, only time will tell.

In my opinion, we will likely see plenty of gameplay of new unannounced games on the system – many of which have leaked beforehand via Playstation UK Magazine. Whether these titles will be shown during the event is yet to be seen, but it implies a reveal/gameplay focused event. It would be surprising if Sony does not reveal how the Playstation 5 looks, or its price point at this stage, as it is slated to release by the end of this year. Leaving it any later would be cutting it close, however, they may be following their strategy for the Playstation 4 and waiting for Microsoft to reveal their prices so they can undercut them, instantly making their system more marketable. Regardless of what they do, it should still be an entertaining event to watch – even without a live crowd.
