After months of teasing, Sony has finally unveiled its next-gen console, the Playstation<\/a><\/span> 5, showcasing the console design itself, as well as the different versions and peripherals which will be on offer at launch.<\/p>\n

Design<\/h3>\n

From a design perspective, the Playstation 5 console resembles the two-tone colour scheme showcased on the PS5 DualSense controller, which was revealed earlier this year. The design of the rest of the console takes a somewhat futuristic approach, with a curved and elongated white case, along with a black centrepiece housing the key components.<\/p>\n

Ventilation is prominent across the interior of the black mid-portion, with blue LED lighting accentuating the case.<\/p>\n

The PS5 also features a black stand, which will keep the console upright, however, Sony didn’t confirm whether the console can be laid down.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Two versions<\/h3>\n

A surprising announcement during the event was the reveal that two Playstation 5 models will be available: a standard edition<\/strong> featuring a disc drive, and a Digital Edition<\/strong>,which sacrifices the disc-playing capabilities presumably in favour of a price-difference.<\/p>\n

The omission of a disc drive on the Digital Edition means that the form factor of the console changes slightly, being a little more slim on the bottom and narrower from edge to edge.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Peripherals<\/h3>\n

While not necessarily detailed, there will be a handful of PS5 accessories on launch. In addition to the controller, consumers will also be able to pick up a 3D Audio headset, which will be integral to many games going forward, along with a controller charging station, media remote, HD camera, and media remote.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Release date and price<\/h3>\n

There were no specific details on the release date and price, but Sony did confirm that the PS5 will launch by “holiday 2020”, which will put it in the November-December 2020 window.<\/p>\n

As for pricing, no confirmed RRP has been set, but pre-orders should go live in the coming months.<\/p>\n
