Sony's highly anticipated next-generation gaming console is speculated to arrive in 2020. With the release date nearing, speculations and leaks about the PS5 are making rounds online. The latest is a leak suggesting that the powerful gaming console from Sony will be released with a built-in camera suggesting that it will have a live streaming feature.
The PS5 is concealed under the code name Prospero and features a built-in camera, the latest report from Gizmodo says. The article claims that its source is an anonymous leaker who sent images of Sony's next-generation console last June 2019. This was just a few months away before a Sony patent was discovered online revealing the same model of the hardware.
This gives the source a certain level of credibility in terms of the legitimacy of the claims. Allegedly, the source is working on a next-generation title that will be released on Project Scarlett and PS5. The site adds that the new PS5 dev kit was sent to studios last summer and Sony referred to it as Prospero, considering that the next-generation console has no official name yet.
The leak also claims that both Project Scarlett and PS5 integrated a built-in camera that users can utilize for live streaming online. Additionally, the report states that the PS5's camera has a 4K resolution capable of reacting to in-game lighting and can automatically adjust its settings. If this is accurate, the PS5 will be very handy, especially for those who would like to set up a streaming platform using the next generation gaming console from Sony.
Xbox One and PlayStation 4 have Mixer and Twitch, but they are not as dedicated and intuitive as a PC streaming set up. The latest leak suggests that the upcoming gaming consoles will try to change that. It is worth noting that this is just a leak and not an official statement from Sony.
Despite the pieces of evidence, we strongly suggest that you take this information with great skepticism. Meanwhile, the only official confirmation that we have right now about the PS5 is that its CPU is based on third-generation AMD Ryzen with eight cores of AMD's latest 7nm Zen 2 microarchitecture. Additionally, the PS5's GPU is a custom variant of AMD Radeon Navi series, and it will support ray tracing.
Project Scarlett is slated to be released in the holiday of 2020 while Sony has not yet shared the release window of the PS5.
