It seems pretty clear that Sony will likely announce the price and release date for two PS5 consoles.
Sony will be holding a special exhibition event for PlayStation 5 on Wednesday, September 16, 2020 at 1pm PT / 1:30 am IST (September 17). In a blog post, the company said that this exhibition “will feature updates on the latest titles from Worldwide Studios and our world-class development partners.
The Japanese tech giant has not announced a price or release date for the PlayStation 5. Many believe Sony will use this “digital showcase” on Wednesday to announce availability details for the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition.
The move to announce the holding of a 40-minute PlayStation 5 presentation comes at a time when Sony is under pressure to reveal more details about the next-gen gaming console. Earlier this week, Microsoft announced that Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S will launch on November 10, at $ 499 and $ 299, respectively. The Redmond, Washington-based company also announced that the consoles will be available for pre-order later this month.

Sony, on the other hand, has been very secretive about the price of the PS5. The retail price of the PS5 is unknown, although many speculate that the flagship console could cost more than $ 500. At the moment, Sony only said that the PS5 will arrive during the “holiday” season.

That said, we already know a lot about the PS5. The console will be available in two options: a standard version and a digital version. The PS5 will feature a custom eight-core AMD Zen 2 CPU clocked at 3.5GHz and a custom 10.29 teraflops GPU. It will also have 16GB of GDDR6 RAM and a custom 825GB SSD. The next-gen console will also come with the new DualSense 5 controller. The PS5 will be able to output resolutions up to 8K and offer frame rates of up to 120 fps for 4K gaming. The console will support advanced visual effects such as real-time ray tracing. So far more than 40 PS5 games have been announced.
