PlayStation 5 officially revealed \u2013 Digital Edition, accessories, more SonySony has officially revealed the PlayStation 5 in all its glory, and it\u2019s a drastically different design than what we\u2019ve seen from PlayStation in the past. After keeping its console design under wraps for what feels like ages, Sony finally debuted the PlayStation 5\u2019s official console design during its \u201cThe Future of Gaming\u201d livestream. It debuted with much panache, serving up a space age chassis with an intriguing design that we\u2019ve not seen on any PlayStation system in the past. It\u2019s a far cry from the blockier Xbox Series X, and looks a bit more like a spaceship or a futuristic building than a system that plays video games. Not only did the console finally get some time in the spotlight, but it was revealed to be releasing in two different formats: one system with a disc drive and one system without, known as the \u201cDigital Edition.\u201d There were also several new accessories announced alongside the consoles, including a new HD camera as well as a media remote and wireless headset. Sony isn\u2019t just courting us when it comes to the next console generation with a new system and games \u2013 it also wants us to buy some new accessories to complete the transformation. Here\u2019s everything we learned from the PlayStation 5 reveal event about the system thus far. PlayStation 5 reveal: Standard and Digital Editions When the PlayStation 5 was finally revealed during the \u201cFuture of Gaming\u201d livestream, it turned heads with its unorthodox appearance and somewhat strange form factor. However, it\u2019s an aesthetically pleasing look for the PlayStation brand, and it matches the DualSense Controller\u2019s color scheme quite nicely. There will actually be two different models of the PS5, however, and you can choose the one that\u2019s right for you when it\u2019s finally time to preorder the system. Standard Edition: The standard PlayStation 5 is the model that will likely be the most prevalent. It will include an optical 4K Blu-ray disc drive. It will be a bit thicker than the Digital Edition to support the optical drive, and as a result you\u2019ll be able to play any compatible disc with the system. This is the option you\u2019ll want to choose if playing disc-based games is important to you or you don\u2019t want to solely rely on digital titles. Sony has yet to confirm further differences between the Standard Edition and Digital beyond the type of media and storage that can be utilized on either console. Digital Edition: The Digital Edition doffs the optical drive and is not compatible with discs as a result. It also looks quite a bit thinner than the standard PS5 console. You\u2019re meant to store all your games digitally with this option, so this is for anyone who just isn\u2019t interested in physical copies or disc-based backward compatibility. There should be plenty of space, as both the standard and Digital Edition PS5 will come packing a previously-announced 825GB solid state drive, which is a massive amount of space, so if you\u2019d prefer to go discless for what we can only assume is a somewhat significant amount of savings, that\u2019s an option. PlayStation 5 accessories: HD Camera, Pulse 3D Wireless Headset, Media Remote, Charging Station After officially revealing what the PlayStation 5 would look like, Sony gave everyone a look at just some of the accessories that would be coming to the market as well. From a newly-designed headset to a charging dock for the new DualSense controller, there\u2019s plenty you can purchase to outfit your PlayStation 5 with when it debuts. The official PlayStation 5 accessory lineup includes the following in addition to the DualSense Controller, as shown off during the reveal livestream: HD Camera: The new PlayStation 5 camera will feature dual 1080p lenses and will likely be utilized with any new PlayStation VR that\u2019s announced in the future. It will offer a much clearer picture than the old camera, and that should make it even simpler to stream from home via console instead of forcing users to have their on PC setup if they want to share their favorite games. Pulse 3D Wireless Headset: Sony is upgrading its wireless headset line and offering 3D audio support. This feature has been touted as absolutely integral to the PlayStation 5, so it\u2019s no surprise that Sony is pushing it heavily with the official PS5 headset, which also offers noise-canceling microphones. Media Remote: This sleek new remote looks like it has more in common with Apple products than Sony, but it looks to offer a lot of options as well. It even features a built-in microphone to navigate the PS5 via voice and what appear to be programmable buttons along the bottom that could be customized to your liking. There\u2019s no pricing information currently available for the accessories, nor the DualSense controller, so hopefully that information is coming down the pipeline soon. PlayStation 5 price: How much will the PS5 cost? The cost of the PlayStation 5 is unclear at this point in time. Unfortunately, Sony has yet to offer any information in terms of the system, console, or accessory pricing. There\u2019s also no release date at this time beyond the vague \u201choliday 2020\u201d we\u2019ve been hearing ever since the PS5 was officially unveiled. Read More: Horizon Zero Dawn 2: Forbidden West announced for PS5 As we get ever closer to the PlayStation 5 release date, this should hopefully change, but as of right now all we can do is surmise what kind of cost we\u2019re looking at with the system. It\u2019s highly likely that it could end up costing more than the PlayStation 4 did when it first debuted considering what it has under the hood, but we\u2019ll have to wait and see. We will continue to update this page as additional information about the PlayStation 5 is revealed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
