The anticipation has been palpable, after a brief postponement, millions of viewers tuned in to Sony’s Playstation 5 reveal stream and they were not disappointed.
This hour-long event provided fans an early look at the games that will come to define the next generation of console gaming, and a surprise look at what the PS5 will actually look like.
Our first impression on the console itself is it must be easily one of the most stunning designs we have seen – look at it!
Coming available in two different variations, a digital-only option and one with a disk slot.
Both are beautiful but price and specs were not revealed…yet. Sony also took this opportunity to show off a few peripherals like an HD Camera, Pulse wireless headset and a media remote.
Do they come as standard? Highly unlikely, but still they certainly look stylish and keep with the white, black, and blue colour scheme.
