The CES 2022 is one of the largest electronics fairs in the world. Sony is also there. But is Sony presenting new accessories for the PS5 at CES 2022? MeinMMO presents you with all the info about the event.
What is CES anyway? The Consumer Electronics Show, or CES, is one of the most important trade fairs for consumer electronics. Various manufacturers often present new products in the hardware sector here. Last year, for example, Nvidia officially presented its GeForce RTX 3060.
Manufacturer Sony also wants to present some new products at CES 2022. However, it is still unclear what will be shown. Some users hope that there will be news about the PS5.
When is the event supposed to take place? Sony’s press conference at CES 2022 is scheduled for January 5 at 2 AM. We at MeinMMO will report tomorrow morning whether Sony has presented important info about the PS5 or other devices.
Update 5.01.2022: Sony has indeed presented new accessories for the PS5. MeinMMO introduces you to PS VR2 and explains what you need to know:
Sony has a wide portfolio of hardware products beyond the PS5
This is the current situation: Some people find it unlikely that PlayStation will have a larger presence at CES 2022, as Sony has a wide range of products that could be presented. The largest areas include:
- Televisions
- Headphones and headsets
- Cameras and corresponding accessories
- Radios
- Smartphones
What did Sony present in 2021? At CES 2021, Sony did not present any accessories for the PS5 either. For example, Sony introduced the SRS-RA3000 with new speakers and also released new TV devices that are compatible with the PS5.
What could come in 2022? This year, especially new televisions and new smartphones are expected to be presented. We expect 4K or 8K models that could be particularly suitable for the PS5. It is also likely that Sony could present the latest models of its smartphones.
What news about the PS5 can we expect at CES 2022?
What speaks for the PS5 at CES? The biggest announcement regarding the PS5 at the end of 2021 was the official presentation of colorful side plates for the PS5. Sony stated at that time that the side plates should be available in stores from January 2022. However, a specific date was not mentioned. There have been discussions within the community about side plates for some time now, such as in the case of “Customize My Plates,” which was forced to cease selling colorful side plates by Sony’s lawyers.
Therefore, we consider it quite possible that Sony will at least announce the start of sales for the side plates and possibly offer another surprise for interested gamers. Some users are still waiting for Sony to announce the successor to its VR system for the PS5. Whether this will happen at CES 2022 is pure speculation.
What else is going on with the PS5 in 2022? Otherwise, the situation for 2022 remains difficult as it was for 2021: next-gen consoles and other hardware are hardly available or only very expensive.
