Playstation 5 revealed
Originally announced in 2019, the long-awaited PlayStation 5 has finally been revealed, exciting fans all over the world.
There are two versions of the console: One is a sleek, thin version that is completely disc-less and will use online streaming and downloads, and one is a standard model with a Blue-ray player. As opposed to the standard hard-drive, the PS5 will use a solid-state drive that can hold up to a terabyte of data.
The design, white with black accents as compared to the previous all-black consoles, is set to release later in 2020. Similar to the new Xbox Series X, it can be placed vertical or horizontal depending on the space. It will also have USB-A and USB-C ports and better isolation.
In addition to the new console comes new games, including a sequel chapter to the PS4’s “Marvel’s Spiderman” following Miles Morales. There will also be a new “Ratchet and Clank” game as well as “Horizon Forbidden West” and an enhanced version of “Grand Theft Auto V.”
Unfortunately, the price for the PS5 is unknown, but it certainly will cost an arm and a leg. This is even without all the additional accessories such as a “dual sensing” charging station, an HD camera, a pulse wireless headset and a media remote.
Sony also stated that the console will support an “overwhelming” amount of the 4,000 PlayStation games existing today.
We’re expecting backward compatible titles will run at a boosted frequency on PS5 so that they can benefit from higher or more stable frame rates and potentially higher resolutions,” Sony said back in March.
Fans seem genuinely excited about this console, much more than when the Xbox Series X was announced. As more games are shown with their stunning graphics and fascinating gameplay, the more excited the internet gets. Of course, that hasn’t stopped the memes from rolling in.

Others are deciding between the PS5 and the Xbox X simply on design:
I like both for different reasons. Playstation 5 looks like some kinda piece of art, while the Xbox Series X looks utilitarian and powerful. Both are going under my TV this holiday for sure.

There’s still time for changes, so who knows what the console will look like by September.
