According to the PlayStation 5’s webpage on PlayStation’s website, a statement confirms that the PlayStation 5 will be launching in the holiday season of 2020. This comes several months after the suggestion that it would be releasing before or during 2020’s holiday season. Now, the statement has been reenforced by an update on the PS5’s webpage.

On the PS5’s webpage, an image with text near the top of the page says in white text that the console will be launching in the holiday season of 2020. This is accompanied by a brief description of the console.
The description lays out the specs of the PS5, including the SSD it will be using and the 3D audio. The description claims that with these components, the creativity of developers can be theoretically limitless with huge game worlds and revolutionized game design. The webpage offers frequenters the ability to sign up for newsletters that grant updates on the console, including unrevealed details like its price, specific release date, and more.
While the PlayStation 5 is projected to have a holiday 2020 release, it’s still possible for the console to be affected by the coronavirus in its production or elsewhere. At this point, the release date has been reiterated in rumor a decent number of times, but since there are at least six months until release, changes can occur.
All in all, the next generation of consoles looks to be a huge step forward, as was technically the case with this generation mostly. Naughty Dog’s game director said as much recently when he stated that the console is a huge leap forward. Of course, consumers have yet to see for themselves the superiority of the PS5 to the PS4. However, hopefully it will be made all worthwhile come 2020’s holiday season.
