For fans of game consoles, avid gamers and just interested in this topic, great news recently appeared! The long-awaited PlayStation 5 is finally officially announced by Sony.

How it all began

The first rumors of an upcoming novelty passed through the IT community for a long time. Back in April 2019, PS5 chief system architect Mark Czerny announced that the development of the new console has been ongoing for more than 4 years.

Since SONY did not plan to take part in the annual E3 exhibition in 2019, the hypotheses regarding the release date of the PlayStation 5 only gained momentum. In addition, the gaming community could not ignore the fact that back on February 13, 2018, the technology of backward compatibility of games was patented, which, according to some reports, was specially developed for the new PS5.

What's new

Bluepont studio helped with the development of the novelty, which at one time also exerted strength in the updated Shadow of the Colossus. According to official data, the console contains such interesting functions as ray tracing, a new controller with USB Type-C, and a completely updated interface.

It is worth noting another innovation - an improved fragmentary system for installing games, which allows you to install only those components that seemed to the user the most necessary or interesting, for example, only multiplayer or story campaign. The new controller in the announced prefix does not yet have its name, but in terms of characteristics and properties it is most like the already known DualShock 4.
