Sony has rescheduled their PS5 reveal event for June 11th, 1pm Pacific Time, that’s 9pm UK Time.
We just got word from the PlayStation blog that Sony has rescheduled its games showcase. Originally set for June 4th, Sony decided it was best to delay so that more important voices could be heard. Here’s what they said on their latest post:
“Hi all – thanks for being patient and understanding while we rescheduled this PS5 event for Thursday, June 11 at 1pm Pacific Time / 9pm BST. We needed to step aside so key voices could be heard during this historic time.”
As far as we know, it’s still the same broadcast we were expecting for June 4th. They did add in the new post that it’s been pre-recorded and rendered in 1080p and 30 frames per second. Due to staff working from home limitations. And for everyone to remember that each clip will look much better when you actually play on the PS5 with a 4K TV, “as you’d expect”.
They also encouraged us to watch the broadcast with headphones on as there has been some tricks added to the audio in some parts. I’m looking forward to hearing whatever that will be!
Underneath the new info, was the original information on what the event will showcase. If you’re not up to speed, it reports that we’re going to get a first look at some of the games that will be available when the PS5 launches later this year.
The blog stated they’ve shown us the technical aspects of what the PS5 can do. But now it’s time to show off some games! Here’s what Sony CEO Jim Ryan had to say on the blog:
“That’s why I’m excited to share that we will soon give you a first look at the games you’ll be playing after PlayStation 5 launches this holiday. The games coming to PS5 represent the best in the industry from innovative studios that can span the globe. Studios, both larger and smaller, those new and those more established, all have been hard at work developing games that will showcase the potential of the hardware.”
The ‘digital showcase’ is planned to run for just over an hour and you can tune in to either PlayStation’s Twitch or YouTube pages to watch the show. This may be the first of many showcases as the blog states that they still have much more to show off.
You my want to tune in for this one because we haven’t really got to see much of the PS5 yet. Especially a look at what games are coming with the PS5 release. And with Thursday’s show being scheduled to last for just over an hour, sounds like we’re in for a treat!
So just as a recap, that’s Thursday 11th June 1pm Pacific Time / 9pm BST (UK) / 10 CEST (Central Europe).
