After some speculation in the tech industry, Sony has officially confirmed that the PlayStation 5 event will be hosted next week on Thursday, 4th June. The event is scheduled to start at 4:00 PM ET and the company is promising to give us a “look at the future of gaming on PlayStation 5.”
Sony has also revealed that the event will last for more than an hour and will give us a look at “the games you’ll be playing after PlayStation 5 launches this holiday”. So, it’s confirmed that at this event, the company will showcase some of the games coming to the PS5.
As per the reports, Sony is not expected to reveal details about the next-generation gaming console. However, the company is expected to hold a few more such events in the coming weeks and months, leading up to the official launch of the PlayStation 5.
Jim Ryan, President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment said: “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. 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.”

So far, the Japanese company has unveiled the logo of the PS5, some of its specifications, and a new wireless controller that will be bundled with the console. But the company is yet to showcase the gaming console itself and it remains to be seen if that changes with the upcoming event next week.
The company has confirmed that the PS5 includes AMD hardware with Zen 2 CPU and Navi GPU, along with super-fast PCIe 4.0 SSD and new data-transfer architecture. The DualSense gamepad has motorized triggers that can provide variable resistance depending on the in-game context and has modern haptics for players to “feel” the games.
