Sony <\/a> has been dishing out details on the PlayStation 5 piece-by-piece, rather than dropping all of the details at one big mega event. First came word of the Holiday 2020 release window<\/a>. Then came an overview of the specs<\/a> — like that it’ll have a super-fast solid-state drive by default. Most recently, they showed off the controller.<\/a> (The divvied up approach makes sense, really; with the ongoing pandemic preventing events like E3 and GDC from happening… why wouldn’t<\/em> Sony work on their own schedule and make every aspect its own mini-spectacle?)<\/p>\n The next glimpse they give, it seems, will be of the first games coming to the console.<\/p>\n This morning Sony announced that they’ll be hosting a live-streamed event on June 4th at 1pm Pacific. In a blog post about the event<\/a>, Sony Interactive CEO Jim Ryan clarifies the focus:<\/p>\n We’ve shared technical specifications and shown you the new DualSense wireless controller. But what is a launch without games?<\/p>\n That’s why I’m excited to share that we will soon give you a first look at the games you’ll be playing after PlayStation 5 launches this holiday.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Ryan also notes that the event should last roughly an hour, but doesn’t suggest how many different games that’ll cover.<\/p>\n In a video that managed to pull in millions of views<\/a>, Epic Games recently gave a first look at its upcoming Unreal Engine 5 running on pre-release PS5 hardware. Given that video’s success, I’d imagine that Sony is pretty dang eager to keep the early looks coming.<\/p>\n Will we finally see the console hardware itself? That’s still unclear. Seeing as they’ve pieced just about everything else out, though, I’d bet they’re saving that one for an event a bit closer to launch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Tags:<\/b> Greg Kumparak<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sony has been dishing out details on the PlayStation 5 piece-by-piece, rather than dropping all of the details at one big mega event.
