Playstation 5
(redirected from PlayStation 5)
PlayStation 5 (English: PlayStation 5, or PS5 for short; Japanese: プレイステーション5?) is a video game platform developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Announced as the successor to the PlayStation 4 on October 8, 2019, the device was released on November 12, 2020, in North America, Oceania, Japan, and South Korea, and on November 19, 2020, for the rest of the rest of the world, including the Middle East, but excluding China. It is the fifth video game system produced by Sony after the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 1 systems, and the PlayStation 5 competes with the Xbox Series X and Series S of Microsoft. The platform was launched in two variants, the standard one - including an Ultra HD Blu-ray-compatible optical drive to support retail games, and the low-cost digital one, which lacked the disc drive but retained digital download support from the PlayStation Store
PlayStation 5 features a specially designed solid state drive for high-speed data streaming to enable significant improvements in graphical performance. The console also features a custom AMD ray tracing-capable GPU, support for 4K displays and high frame rates, new audio hardware for real-time 3D sound effects, and backwards compatibility with most PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR games.
Date
The first news about the PlayStation 5 came from the lead architect, Mark Cerny, in an interview with Wired magazine in April 2019. Sony intends for the PlayStation 5 to be the next generation console and to be released worldwide by the end of 2020. In early 2020 2019 Sony's financial report for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 confirmed that new next generation hardware is in development but will not be released earlier than April 2020. Current specifications were announced in October 2019. Full specifications were revealed in a live webcast presented by Cerny and published by Digital Foundry and Sony on March 18, 2020.
A large PlayStation 5 game library was planned for June 4, 2020, but was delayed until June 11 due to the events of the George Floyd protests.

the games
To move from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5, Sony expects to launch many new games in the early stages of issuing the device to obtain PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 games, similar to the previous device. At The Game Awards 2019, Counterplay Games' Godfall became the first game announced for PlayStation 5, and is expected to be released when the PlayStation 5 launches. Confirmed PlayStation 5 games are The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, Watch Dogs: Legion and God Monsters, Rainbow Six Quarantine, Outriders, Warframe and an unannounced game from Bluepoint Games.
The PlayStation 5 is planned to be backwards compatible with the majority of PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro games, enabled in part by the two systems' similar hardware architecture. Cerny mentioned during his presentation in March 2020 that almost all of the top 100 PS4 games in terms of title time will be playable on the PS5 at the console. Sony stated that it "believes that the vast majority of PlayStation 4 games (4000+) will be playable on the PlayStation 5", and that they were "evaluating games on a game-by-game basis to identify any issues that need tweaking from the original game developers".
The new device is also expected to be compatible with PlayStation VR games. Sony has stated that the development team is working to ensure compatibility, but has not yet determined how complete the backwards compatibility is.
