PS5 Price and Release – Reasons for July 2020
This also supports the possible date: The competitor Microsoft has announced several events for July 2020. This includes another episode of Xbox 20/20 as well as the Xbox Game Studios Show. However, we do not yet know an official date for this. In the first episode of Xbox 20/20, Microsoft introduced the first games for the Xbox Series X, so surely more games will follow.
According to an insider (via xboxdynasty.de), a digital event from Microsoft for the Xbox Series X is expected to be very important – especially because Sony’s reveal event has been much more successful than the Xbox event.
It has also been known for some time that Sony and Microsoft are watching each other suspiciously regarding the price of the PS5 and Xbox Series X. So, it is quite possible that Sony wants to get ahead of its competition and let important facts about the PS5 emerge.
