8/10/2019

News of the current generation ending soon and next-gen consoles PS5 & Project Scarlet being advance in development is ancient at this point. What was missing however, is when exactly we can expect to be oohing and ahhing at next-gen visuals/gameplay. Well, Sony has revealed via their official Playstation Blog that the PS5 (which was also confirmed to be the official name) will indeed be coming late 2020.

An official name and release window wasn't all the information we got as the team over at Wired got even further information on the new duel Shock 5 controllers, specs, Disk capacity and game load/installs times.

More details

- Official name is PlayStation 5
- Ray tracing support is hardware based
- New SSD will help boot times, loading times and streaming
- Controller has now adaptive triggers, haptic feedback, new speakers, USB Type-C

Some more minor details on the new DualShock 5 controller from the Wired article:

- better battery
- heavier than DualShock 4, but lighter than a XBO controller with batteries in it
- haptic feedback could have been included in the PS4 Pro but they decided against it

Of course, If you have been around the gaming scene for a while you would have known from experience that majority of all console launches happened during the fall season but, an official confirmation does put it in perspective that we are inching closer and closer to next-gen.
