Rumors about a new generation of game consoles have been around for a long time. This is not surprising since the original PS4 version was announced back in 2013. The standard seven-year life cycle of the device will come to an end next year. This means that the new console could be introduced in the first half of 2020. Based on the available data on the future release, as well as design decisions that have taken place in past Sony consoles, LetsGoDigital has created renderings that depict the PS5.
In the middle of this month, the developers some PS5 specs. Network sources report that the new product will support 8K image format, ray tracing and 3D sound. In addition, an SSD drive will take the place of the HDD, which will significantly speed up the loading of content. Not so long ago that the new Sony console will not appear on the market in the next 12 months. The announcement could take place in the spring of next year, but it is possible that the developer will decide to delay the launch until the fall, as happened with the PS3 and PS4.
The retail price of the PS5 also remains unknown. In the European region, the PS4 had a starting price of around 400 euros, while the Xbox One X, which appeared much later, was 500 euros. Most likely, the price of the PS5 will not be lower than 500 euros, even though the developer will try to bring the new product to the market at the most attractive price for buyers.
This year, Sony will not participate in the E3 exhibition, so we can hardly expect any high-profile announcements in the near future.
