Since 2018, the gaming industry has seen and read different kinds of leaks and speculations about Sony's PlayStation 5. Renders and live shots of the alleged PS5 dev kit surface online every now and then. Fans anticipate that Sony might unveil the PS5 in Feb., but a recent leak may have spoiled some big surprises Sony have been keeping under its sleeves.
The latest PS5 leak, which seems like something fans have seen in the past, comes from 4Chan. The leak reveals the release date, price, and events, which reportedly would unveil the PS5. Based on the leak, it appears that Sony might not fully unveil its next-generation gaming console in one sitting, but on a staggered basis to maintain the hype.
Sony's PS5 Events
The latest PS5 leak claims that the Japanese console maker would hold up to three State of Play events throughout 2020. Sony will reportedly hold an event next month, a second event close to E3 2020, and a final event ahead of the next generation gaming console's release. All of these events reportedly are on Sony's schedule to ensure that the hype lives on.
Additionally, the latest PS5 leak also claims that the upcoming gaming console would retail at $499. Another interesting detail about the PS5, according to the leaker, is the 2 TB Solid State Drive that it would house. Earlier reports claimed that Sony's gaming console might at least feature 1TB of SSD.
PS5 Unveiling
A recent reservation made by Sony in a hall in New York is one of the rumored events where the company would officially unveil the PlayStation 5. The Japanese console maker reserved the hall for a private event on Feb. 29, 2020. Based on the reservation, the event would start at 7 PM and would be exclusive for ticket holders.
A massive leak, which surfaced last year, claimed that Sony would hold a Special Meeting on Feb. 2020 to launch the PlayStation 5. It seems that the previous leak aligns with the latest claim by the tipster on 4Chan. While there is a chance that the unveiling could happen next month, all of these are unconfirmed and unofficial.
At this point, we suggest taking these details with skepticism. If the official unveiling of the PS5 is happening in Feb., it is just a few days away. Sony has revealed some crucial details about the PlayStation 5, but unlike Xbox, it has only revealed the next-generation console's official logo.
