Sony is officially
confirming its next PlayStation 5 event will be held on Thursday, June 4th. The
event will begin at 4PM ET / 1PM PT, and Sony is promising “a look at the
future of gaming on PlayStation 5.” It will run for “a bit more than an hour,”
and feature “a first look at the games you’ll be playing after PlayStation 5
launches this holiday,” according to Jim Ryan, president and CEO of Sony
Interactive Entertainment.
“The games coming to PS5
represent the best in the industry from innovative studios that span the globe.
Studios, both larger and smaller, those newer and those more established, all
have been hard at work developing games that will showcase the potential of the
hardware,” says Ryan. “This digital showcase will run for a bit more than an
hour and, for the first time, we will all be together virtually experiencing
the excitement together.”
Recent reports suggested
Sony would hold a PS5 event a day earlier on June 3rd, focusing mainly on
games. Sony is not expected to reveal every detail of the PS5 console at this
event, and further events are rumored to be planned for the coming weeks and
months. “This is part of our series of PS5 updates and, rest assured, after
next week’s showcase, we will still have much to share with you,” explains
Ryan.
Sony has so far unveiled
PS5 specs, a logo, and a new wireless controller for its next-gen console. Sony
has not yet shown off the PS5 console itself, and it’s not clear if that will
change at the June 4th event.
