Tonight, Sony will hold a new PS5 presentation. Fans hope that they will finally announce the price and release date of the PlayStation 5, after Xbox revealed information about its new consoles in recent days.
What kind of event is this? Sony announced the upcoming event on Twitter with a short trailer.
- The start is today, Wednesday, September 16, 2020
- It begins at 10:00 PM German time
This is now, just under 2 months before the release period, an important date for gamers. There is hope that Sony will finally disclose the price of the console as well as the release date. Because there are already many details about the PS5, but many are still asking “when will the PS5 be released?” Perhaps the team will clarify this question today.
What does 1:00 PM PDT mean? 1:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time corresponds to 10:00 PM German time.
Officially, the event revolves around launch titles and other PS5 games. But is that really all?
What will the PS5 event on 09/16 definitely showcase?
This is what Sony says: There is already more information about the show on the PlayStation Blog.
- The event will last about 40 minutes
- It will mainly focus on launch titles and games that will be released later
It is officially stated that they want to give players another look at some of the games that will be released alongside the PS5 and beyond.
In doing so, the PlayStation Studios and partner developers will provide updates on their latest titles.
Where can you watch? Sony states that you can follow the event on Twitch and YouTube. You can watch the PS5 stream here today:

Price and release date may also be a topic
This is what Sony has remained silent about: Among the most important topics for potential customers regarding the PS5 is currently what the next-gen console will cost and when it will be available.
Now it’s time: Just a few days ago, Microsoft announced what the Xbox Series X and the smaller Series S will cost. If Sony has really just been waiting for this announcement to counter with a competitive price, then Wednesday could be a possible date to announce the price and release of the PlayStation 5.
However, Sony has already stated about the price that the PS5 will be the best value – not necessarily the lowest price.
Regarding the “release” emails from Sony already revealed in summer that they plan to take advantage of the Christmas season 2020. Sony later confirmed the PS5 release in 2020. Now we are in mid-September. They should start disclosing the information soon.
This is how it could go down: If we had to speculate, there could be different scenarios as to how this could unfold.
- Sony might continue to remain silent about the price and release of the PS5
- They may use the time shortly before or shortly after the event to release the information via a blog post
- Sony discusses price and release during the 40-minute event
What are you expecting from the PS5 event today, Wednesday? A leak from Amazon recently predicted a release date towards the end of November – Will the leak hold up?
