Do you already know the upcoming PS5?

Sony announces its PS5 and dozens of games In mid-June, Sony announced its next great console: Play Station 5. In the launch announcement, some important details such as the price and release date were not revealed; but a mistake on Amazon France published all this information within a few hours. Sony’s new PS5 will have two editions, a standard one (as always) with a 4K Blu-Ray player and a "digital edition" where we will forget about physical format, so games will have to be downloaded directly from the Internet. The console will be launched accompanied by several accessories that will be sold separately. PULSE 3D wireless headphones: They will have 3D audio support and dual microphones with noise cancellation. HD Camera: with 1080p lenses. Media Controller: a remote control with built-in microphone to easily navigate movies and streaming services. DualSense Charging Station: to conveniently charge two DualSense Wireless Controllers. Sony took the opportunity to present the video games it will market for the new Play Station. You can watch the presentation video in Spanish below: The company has announced that in the future the vast majority of the more than 4000 PS4 games will be playable on PS5. Also, since June 2020, all games released on PS4 must be compatible with PS5. With all these technical specifications on the table, there were 2 big unknowns that were soon revealed: price and release date. The French Amazon page revealed it shortly after. According to the pre-order announcement offered by Amazon France, the Blu-Ray version will be priced at 499.99 euros. Taking Amazon’s slip as reference, it seems that the release date will be November 20. Main PS5 features CPU: 8x Zen 2 Cores at 3.5GHz (variable frequency) GPU: 10.28 TFLOPs, 36 CUs at 2.23GHz RDNA 2 RAM: 16GB GDDR6/256-bit Disc drive: 4K UHD Blu-ray Drive Internal storage: modified 825GB SSD hard drive External storage: NVMe SSD Slot   Controller: DualSense The PlayStation 5 controller, called DualSense, is one of its great novelties, and the most drastic evolution of the pad since the DualShock was introduced on the first PlayStation. The first thing that will catch our attention about its new controller is its haptic vibration and adaptive triggers – although the design of the pad will be very similar to the DualShock 4. The L2 and R2 will offer different levels of tension and resistance depending on what is happening in the game, which will add an extra dose of realism to the gaming experience. This will blend with the haptic vibration, which will be able to transmit to the player’s hands different sensations when walking on different surfaces or when diving into water, feeling how the avatar is slipping if it is on ice or how the weight of the water mass hinders the character’s movement, some examples. The controller will have an improved speaker, will weigh more than the PS4’s, and its battery will last longer and will be charged through a USB-C connector that will also serve to transmit data.
