Sony announced that its upcoming PlayStation 5 event has been rescheduled to Thursday, June 11th at 4 PM ET. The event which was previously scheduled for June 4th was postponed following the death of George Floyd and protests against racism and police brutality.
Sony plans to show off PS5 games during the event, and it will run for “a bit more than an hour,” Sony Interactive CEO Jim Ryan said.
The pre-taped presentation will be broadcast at 1080p and 30 fps. “The games you’ll see on Thursday will look even better when you play them on PS5 with a 4K TV, as you’d expect,” Sid Shuman, a senior director for Sony Interactive’s Content Communications said on a blog post.
In the same post, Shuman also recommended wearing headphones during the event because “there’s some cool audio work in the show, and it might be harder to appreciate if it’s pumped through your phone or laptop speakers.”
The PS5 will be equipped with an eight-core AMD Zen 2 CPU, an AMD RDNA 2-based GPU, 16GB of GDDR6 RAM, and a proprietary SSD with 825GB of storage and 5.5GB/s of performance. The DualSense controller will have haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, an integrated microphone, and a USB-C port.
The design of the console is not yet revealed.
