Sony had recently announced a PlayStation 5 event on 4th June where the company was set to unveil the new set of games coming to the next-generation gaming console. However, the PS5 event has now been postponed.
Making this announcement to postponed the PlayStation 5 event scheduled for 4th June, the company said: “While we understand gamers worldwide are excited to see PS5 games, we do not feel that right now is a time for celebration and for now, we want to stand back and allow more important voices to be heard.”

The company is referencing to the protests in the United States and around the world in response to the death of Geroge Floyd, which has now escalated significantly. Sony has not yet revealed a new date for the event but we expect to get that information soon, probably in the coming days.
As said, Japan-based Sony had scheduled an event for this Thursday which was for more than an hour to give us a look at the games that we’d be able to play when the PlayStation 5 launches this holiday season.

So far, the 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.
