Sony will reveal new PS5 details in a ‘deep dive’ tomorrow in the livestream


Sony is planning to reveal more about its PS5 hardware in a special event on March 18th. Today, In a tweet, the company announced that it will be hosting a livestream tomorrow about the PlayStation 5 where Mark Cerny, the console's lead system architect and director of both Knack games, in the presentation will provide “a deep dive into PS5's system architecture, and how it will shape the future of games.” The event will be broadcast on the official PlayStation blog at 9AM PT / 12PM ET tomorrow.




The PlayStation 5's reveal has been a long and drawn out process. The special event follows Sony’s confirmation of the PlayStation 5 name back in October, and details about the power of the console earlier in 2019. Some basic details about the console were first revealed through a Wired interview last April. The article confirmed that the console will be powered by a third-generation AMD Ryzen CPU with eight cores built on the company's 7nm Zen 2 microarchitecture, and a custom GPU, built on AMD's Radeon Navi family, that supports ray-tracing. Cerny also confirmed that it would support 8K graphics, ship with an SSD and be backwards compatible with both PS4 software and the current PSVR headset.

 That's a fair amount of information. Nevertheless, there's still a lot that we don't know. How much will the PlayStation 5 cost? (According to Bloomberg, it could be close to $470.) What does the console actually look like? And will the DualShock controller or system interface change at all?
