PlayStation has been pretty tight-lipped about its next-gen console, with only its controller, logo and some spec details unveiled. However, we will finally learn (a bit) more about the PS5.

Jim Ryan, the President & CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, announced via a PlayStation Blog post today that a digital showcase about the games launching on the console will air next week. The event which will run for "a bit more than an hour" to introduce "the next generation of games" from various game studios.

While it was not clarified if we'll finally get our first look at the console itself or get more information about its pricing, Jim Ryan assured that this event is part of a series of PS5 updates and that after next week, they will have more to share.

The online PS5 event is planned for next Thursday, June 4, at 1:00 pm Pacific Time which will stream on Twitch and YouTube.

Console games need an option where you can switch between performance and graphical fidelity, that way people who hate 30fps can run the game at a good framerate, and people who like their game to look pretty can just run the game with all graphics and no framerate.

I've seen many games with those options in my ps4 pro (such as Horizon: Zero Down or KH3), so maybe future games in next gen will have this too.

I believe nintendo will continue artificial scarcity right until November, when the FOMO will build up enough for the holiday season. Same trick they used with the Wii. Everyone got one, but barely anyone played it.

too bad m.2 drives are still crazy expansive a lot of people won't be able to take advantage of that extra storage option

Crazy expensive? It's cheaper to buy a NVME drive than a hard drive!
