Official PS5 website launches but Sony ‘not quite ready for full reveal’
Platform holder urges fans to register for updates as they’re announced
Sony has launched the PlayStation 5 section of its official UK website.
While the company is gearing up to announce fresh details about the console ahead of its launch later this year, it says it’s not quite ready for a full reveal just yet.
A message on the website reads: “We’ve begun to share some of the incredible features you can expect from PlayStation 5, but we’re not quite ready to fully unveil the next generation of PlayStation.
“Sign up below to be among the first to receive updates as we announce them, including news on the PS5 release date, PS5 price and the upcoming roster of PS5 launch games.”
The website reiterates that PlayStation 5 is set to launch during the 2020 holiday season.
Earlier on Tuesday, Sony’s chief financial officer Hiroki Totoki suggested the company has yet to determine the PlayStation 5 price, as it attempts to balance its position based on several known and unknown factors.
Chief among the latter will likely be Microsoft’s Xbox Series X pricing plans, with the rival next-gen console also scheduled to launch at the end of 2020.
Sony said on Tuesday that PS4 has just had its lowest Christmas sales period since the console’s release in 2013 as adoption slows ahead of the arrival of the next generation.
During Sony’s second quarter earnings call in October 2019, Totoki said development of third-party PS5 games is “progressing smoothly”.
