Initially, the presentation of the PS5 was supposed to take place on June 4, but at that time mass protests began in the United States, people took to the streets due to the death of African American George Floyd during his detention by police. Sony decided to postpone the event for exactly a week – it will be held on Thursday, June 11, at 23:00 Moscow time.

The presentation of PS5 and games for it will take place completely online – there will be a broadcast on Twitch and YouTube.

This presentation should reveal the design and possibly announce the price. Sony also promises to announce a new generation of games and show gameplay. But the company plans several announcements for the summer at once, so it is unlikely to reveal all the secrets at once.

Sony, like Microsoft, has already unveiled the features of the console. With a direct comparison of power, the PS5 turned out to be weaker than Microsoft’s Xbox Series X – 10.28 teraflops versus 12 teraflops. But Sony has the fastest SSD on the market with speeds up to 5.5 Gb / s – there is still nothing like this on sale. This may be the main advantage of the PS5 over its competitor.

Sony and Microsoft are still planning to launch new consoles in November-December, despite the coronavirus. Prices have not yet been announced.
