The hype on PlayStation 5 continues as more details about Sony's next-generation gaming console flood the Internet. With the success of PlayStation 4, currently being the second best-selling gaming console in the world, the upcoming PS5 has a lot of spaces to fill. But, it appears that Sony is confident of the PlayStation 5 as noted in the recent statement of its new CFO.
In the recent financial briefing of Sony Interactive Entertainment, new CFO Hiroki Totoki stated that he has no doubt everyone else is expecting that the PlayStation 5 is going to be a massive hit when it finally releases. Totoki also shared some details about the PlayStation 5 launch games list, said Wall Street Journal reporter. The new CFO stated that both first party and third party titles would satisfy the gamers.
It is admirable to see how Sony is confident about the PlayStation 5. Even in interviews, the team is noticeably proud of what they have made, which raises the fans' expectations. In fact, in the most recent job advertisement of Sony Interactive Entertainment, it stated that it is looking for engineers to work for the upcoming world's fastest gaming console.
While Sony later changed the job ad after it was reported by several sites, it is apparent that Sony is confident of its claim about the PlayStation 5. As to the PS5 launch titles, the Japanese console maker has not yet revealed anything about its launch lineup. But we have already heard whispers of "Ghost of Tsushima" releasing on the next-generation console.

Most game developers are probably preparing their titles to launch on Sony's PlayStation 5.

This includes "Watch Dog: Legion," "Gods and Monsters," and "Rainbow Six: Quarantine." "Assassin's Creed 2020" is also anticipated to release on the PS5.
Earlier EA confirmed that it would release a new version of "Apex Legends" for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Scarlett. Both Xbox Scarlett and PlayStation 5 are slated to arrive in the holiday of 2020, and many game developers are now preparing versions of their titles to launch on the next generation gaming platforms.
Meanwhile, Rolling Stone recently reported that PlayStation and Sony Music are now working together for the soundtrack of the upcoming releases. The collaboration will make sure that the soundtrack of the games is curated and flawlessly embedded. With all the noise Sony has created about the PlayStation 5, all we are waiting for now is the specific release date.
