- Japanese conglomerate Sony has shared technical details about its new PlayStation 5 console, but has remained mum about its price or specific launch date
- The company’s unveiling of new PS5 console games represents the video game industry ramped up effort for the year-end holiday season
Sony Corp unveiled plans to showcase games tailored for its planned PlayStation 5 (PS5) consoles on Thursday in a sign of a ramped up effort for the year-end holiday season.
The online event titled “The Future of Gaming” was postponed last week because of the unrest in cities over police misconduct and race discrimination.
“We needed to step aside so key voices could be heard during this historic and important time,” said Sid Shuman, senior director of content communications at Sony Interactive Entertainment, in a blog post on Monday.
Sony has shared technical details about PS5 consoles, but has remained mum about its price or specific launch date.
Historically, Sony and Xbox-maker Microsoft Corp have released new generations of their rival consoles in November.
“While this road to launch has been a bit ... different, we are as thrilled as ever to bring you with us on this journey to redefine the future of video games,” Shuman said.
