News: Sony finally showed off the PS5 console and we got a sneak peek into some of the games that will be on the platform.

Sony has just held their PlayStation 5 event and, among other things, we got to see the PlayStation 5 itself. In a live stream event today reaching millions of gaming fans, SIE showed the PS5 hardware for the first time, with its two-tone design marking a radical departure from previous PlayStation consoles. PS5 will launch in two options: a standard model with an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive, and a digital model without a disc drive, offering a choice at launch to gamers.

"With PlayStation 5, we are making a significant leap to deliver a truly new generation of transformative play experiences that will redefine expectations for what games can be," said Jim Ryan, President, and CEO of SIE. "Worlds will be richer and more beautiful, they'll captivate your senses in ways you didn't think possible, and you'll be able to experience them much more seamlessly, with lightning-fast loading. Today's showcase is just a glimpse of what's to come in the next generation, and we want to thank our community for taking this journey to PS5's launch
with us."

One of the biggest series of all time, Grand Theft Auto, will be coming to PS5, thanks to the close partnership between SIE and Rockstar Games. Enhanced and expanded versions of Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online will launch on PS5 in the second half of 2021. With a range of technical improvements, visual upgrades, and performance enhancements, GTAV & GTA Online will take full advantage of the PS5 hardware and its new features, making the game more beautiful and more responsive than ever. In addition, a new standalone version of Grand Theft Auto Online will also be made available, with access to all PS5 owners for free within the first three months of the title launching. Once the entitlement is claimed, the game is theirs to keep, and with a PlayStation Plus membership, PS5 owners will be able to play GTA Online as much as they want. Finally, starting today, all GTAV PS4 owners will get GTA$1,000,000 every month until the PS5 version of the game launches in 2021.

Some of the first-party PlayStation Studios exclusives shown today include: Marvel's Spider-Man Miles Morales (Insomniac Games), Gran Turismo 7 (Polyphony Digital), and Horizon Forbidden West (Guerrilla Games).

Reveals from third-party publishers included blockbuster franchises such as NBA 2K21 (2K, Visual Concepts) and Resident Evil Village (Resident Evil VIII), as well as brand new IP launching on PS5 as console exclusives, such as Deathloop (Bethesda) and Project Athia (Square Enix/Luminous Productions). New titles from independent developers, such as Stray (Annapurna/ Blue Twelve Studio) and Bugsnax (Young Horses), demonstrated the diversity of content coming to the platform.

SIE also announced a slate of new PS5 accessories to enhance the gaming experience, including:

  • PULSE 3D wireless headset – offering 3D audio support and dual noise-cancelling microphones;

  • HD Camera – featuring dual 1080p lenses for gamers to broadcast themselves along with their epic gameplay moments;

  • Media Remote – a remote control with built-in microphone to navigate movies and streaming services with ease; and

  • DualSense Charging Station – for convenient charging of two DualSense Wireless Controllers.


  • Even though we saw the PlayStation 5 itself, we still don’t have a price or release date. Our guess is the console will be released sometime in November and will be available for a minimum of $499.

    Check out the reveal video below and then tell us what you think. Will you be pre-ordering a PS5 when it becomes available?
