Sony\u2019s PlayStation 5 game showcase revealed the look of the next generation console and, as with its accompanying DualSense controller, the system makes quite the first impression.<\/p>\n

While competing console-maker Microsoft went for a nondescript boxy look<\/a> for its own next-gen entry, the PlayStation 5 opts for a distinctive silhouette that carries the same black and white motif debuted with the DualSense controller last month.<\/p>\n

In the case of that earlier debut<\/a>, SIE president and CEO Jim Ryan said that a striking visual shift from previous PlayStation products aimed to \u201c[capture] just how strongly we feel about making a generational leap with PS5\u201d and it seems that same philosophy applies to the PlayStation 5 itself. <\/p>\n

The debut introduced two different versions of that launch console, one that features an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive and one that scraps a disc drive entirely to instead offer its players the option to go all digital when entering the next console generation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The short hardware preview also revealed a small hoard of new PlayStation 5 accessories, including the Pulse 3D wireless headset (with support for the 3D audio feature PlayStation previously discussed at length), a HD Camera with dual 1080p lenses, dedicated media remote, and charging station for the PlayStation 5\u2019s DualSense controllers. <\/p>\n

The rest of today\u2019s live stream<\/a> ran through some of the games from both PlayStation Studios and external developers that\u2019ll arrive on the PlayStation 5 within the early days of its lifetime, including peeks at Guerilla Games\u2019 Horizon: Forbidden West<\/em>, Insomniac Games\u2019 Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart<\/em>, and IO Interactive\u2019s Hitman 3<\/em>. <\/p>\n

One notable absence from today\u2019s live stream was a price. While rumors have popped up online from time to time, neither Xbox nor PlayStation have yet to officially announce a pricepoint for their next generation hardware despite both consoles being expected to launch in Holiday 2020.<\/p>\n

In a followup press release, Sony says that info on both pricing and additional PS5 details will be announced \u201cat a later date.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
