As with most rumors, we are taking this with a grain of salt, but it is worth drawing attention to as the person posting the information has a prior history of proven internal knowledge. According to a recent rumor, the PS5 price and revealed release date, as well as pre-orders opening for the console, will take place in just a couple of weeks on July 13.
The rumor comes from Roberto Serrano ‘(@ geronimo_73), who responded to one of Jeff Grubb’s infamous Summer Games Mess updates by saying “July 13> # PS5 price, release date and pre-order. TBC, “citing” sources within the entertainment industry. “
July 13> Price # PS5, release date and pre-order
To be confirmed
– Roberto Serrano ‘(@ geronimo_73) July 1, 2020
So why should you pay attention to a random tweet claiming this information? Serrano was one of the first to confirm the newly scheduled June 11 date for the PS5 Future of Gaming reveal event before Sony officially announced it. It has also consistently released a number of rumors about the price and release date for both next-gen consoles, but these have obviously not been confirmed yet.
When asked more about the price and release date revealed and what form it could take, he said, “There is no event planned at this time,” meaning that it could simply drop via a PlayStation blog post. . He also said “it should be July 13 or sooner” if Sony chooses to change the date, indicating that we will know the price and release date of the PS5 before July 13 at the latest, and we will finally be able to put our pre-orders for the console
It should be noted that Jeff Grubb, who has been cataloging confirmed events and rumors based on his own knowledge and sources, has yet to add anything in July for Sony and PlayStation. The next date of the PlayStation event he has on his Summer Games Mess calendar is a game state that will happen sometime in August (also rumored and not confirmed at this time). That does not mean that the two may have independent information and sources, but so far, Serrano’s claims have not been corroborated by anyone else.
The price and release date of the PS5 has been a hotly debated topic, particularly with Microsoft and Sony playing a chicken game about who might reveal theirs first. Microsoft is expected to weaken Sony this generation, and on July 13 it would put the PS5 price reveal ahead of Microsoft’s expected reveal later this month, but the price, release date, and pre-orders will be necessary. to start reducing the numbers for first day production. With the closing of “vacation 2020”, these kinds of events and decisions should start happening sooner rather than later. At least it won’t take long to find out if this particular rumor was correct.
