Sony PlayStation 5:Everything that you need to know

On 8th of april 2020,Sony revealed the new PlayStation 5 controller design and feature set. Read on for more details.

Sony’s critically acclaimed PlayStation line of gaming consoles is expected to receive a new iteration by the end of the year. Called the PlayStation 5, or just PS5 for short, this next console has some pretty big shoes to fill.
Its predecessor — the PlayStation 4 — is one of the most popular gaming consoles of all time. Sony sold more than 106 million units  as of January 2020. The PlayStation 2 is the only home gaming console to surpass those numbers, selling more than 150 million units in its lifetime.
Surely Sony is looking for a home run with its next-generation console. But will it pack enough punch to woo gamers around the world as the PS4 did?
Here’s everything we know about the PS5 so far. Be sure to bookmark this page as we’ll update it as new rumors come to light.


Sony’s next-generation gaming console will be called the PlayStation 5, or PS5 for short. Every prior iteration has adopted that naming scheme, and the company has referred to it as such in all of its press releases, marketing information, and announcements etc.
There’s not much we know for sure about the PS5’s design yet, though leaks of the console’s dev kit have been floating around the internet for months now. We got our first look at it when the team over at LetsGoDigital found some patent images online. The outlet later mocked up its own design renders based on these patents — as seen in the video above — giving us a better look at the dev kit. A few alleged real-life photos also surfaced online, giving us a real-life look at the kit.



Since these are not the final product, we don’t expect the PS5 will look like this at launch. Which, if you ask us, is good news, because this design does not make for a particularly good looking console. The finished product will be much slimmer and more visually appealing than this.

As far as the PlayStation 5 controller is concerned, we got a look at the official controller before the console. Sony is calling it DualSense, and it’s the largest design departure from any PlayStation controller before. Check it out:

As you can see, it features a new futuristic black and white design and a built-in microphone array. It also comes with a USB-C charging port, and Sony is replacing the Share button with a brand new Create button, though it has not revealed what it does yet.
There is no word on pricing yet, but we can expect to see it launch alongside the PS5 this holiday season.


PS5 specs

Here’s a complete overview of the PS5’s specs list compared to the PS4’s:
 PlayStation 5PlayStation 4
CPU8x Zen 2 Cores at 3.5GHz with SMT (variable frequency)8x Jaguar Cores at 1.6GHz
GPU10.28 TFLOPs, 36 CUs at 2.23GHz (Custom RDNA 2 architecture)1.84 TFLOPs, 18 CUs at 800MHz (Custom GCN architecture)
RAM16GB GDDR6/256-bit8GB GDDR5/256-bit
Internal StorageCustom 825GB SSD500GB HDD
Expandable StorageNVMe SSD slotReplaceable internal HDD
External StorageUSB HDD supportUSB HDD support
IO Throughput5.5GB/s (Raw), Typical 8-9GB/s (Compressed)Approx 50-100MB/s (dependent on data location on HDD)
Memory Bandwidth448GB/s176GB/s
Optical Drive4K UHD Blu-ray DriveBlu-ray Drive

The deep-dive revealed a lot more about the PS5’s future capabilities too. We can expect an upgraded CPU in the form of the AMD Zen 2, which touts eight cores clocked at 3.5GHz. This should provide significant performance gains over the PS4’s eight-core Jaguar 1.6GHz CPU. The PS5’s custom AMD RDNA 2 GPU is also a solid upgrade over last gen’s custom GCN GPU.



Games

What makes any given console better than the next? It’s the games, baby.
At launch, the PS5 will be backward compatible with nearly every single game in the PS4’s library. At first, the company claimed that it would work with nearly all top 100 titles from the previous generation console. But in a recent blog post, the company announced it will be compatible with “the overwhelming majority of the 4,000+ PS4 titles.”
Not only that, but Sony believes most PS4 titles will likely benefit from higher, more stable frame rates and higher resolutions on the PS5. It can’t guarantee every game will work, but it has already tested hundreds of titles with thousands more to come.
 The PlayStation 5 will be backward compatible with nearly every PlayStation 4 title at launch.

 Last Fall, Sony said we can expect to see the PlayStation 5 officially launch during the 2020 holiday season. The company has yet to announce a specific release date or reveal event. The PlayStation 4 landed in November 2013, so we expect Sony’s next-gen console to land during a similar timeframe this year. That is, if the launch plans aren’t affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
As far as price is concerned, the PS4 and PS4 Pro retailed for $399, so we expect the PS5 to surpass that price point. During an earnings call in February 2020, Spiel Times reported that Sony has yet to decide on a pricing model.
But, if we are to believe some of the leaks surrounding the topic, we can expect the console will come in at $499. Tipster @PSErebus tweeted several pieces of information about the PS5, including this rumored price point, as well as a supposed November 20 launch dateBloomberg later reported that Sony was struggling with the PlayStation 5’s price due to expensive components. So far, it looks like Sony’s PS5 will cost about $450 to manufacture. The original PS4 reportedly cost about $381 to build, so if Sony wants to maintain razor-thin profit margins on hardware, the PS5 will need to cost at least $470, which roughly lines up with the previously rumored price point.
Though it’s just speculation at this point, we think it is safe to assume the PS5 will most likely retail for around $500.


Those are all the details we have on the PS5 so far! Be sure to bookmark this page and check back often as we will update it with new information as we get our hands on it.
