The PlayStation 5 will be fully revealed at some point in 2020. We always assumed this would be the case, but now we have confirmation from Sony IT specialist Sam Parker, who says the console will be "unveiled and released" next year.
It's worth mentioning that there have been whispers of Sony putting on a PS5 reveal event before 2019 is over, but such a scenario never seemed likely as far as we're concerned. Some were hoping for another PlayStation Experience, but even if the Japanese giant was to host a show this year, we doubt that the PS5 would be there.
Right now, Sony is clearly happy to just feed us little nuggets of information through exclusive Wired articles, which is a sentence that we never thought we'd be writing. If the company can keep the momentum and excitement levels going into the new year, then it'll be primed for a big reveal.
We can't wait, but are you looking forward to finally seeing the PS5? Give us some next-gen speculation in the comments section below.

Good to finally have some clear facts
Yesterdays news was underwhelming, personally more interested in how the console will look and how it will be kept cool and quiet
the big question is if they will be at e3 2020 or keep it all for their own show.
tbh it would be best if they attended e3 just because MS will be there with the xbox scarlet. even if sony doesn't need to be there.
it would just feel empty again without sony knowing about the ps5.
Let's face it we are all gonna buy one
I hope the next info dump they have sheds some light on how the system will be cooled. At this rate, I'm expecting it to come with a built-in air conditioning compressor.
@jdv95 a couple of years ago I said to friends that E3 as we know would be finished and it seems that with next year's E3 that's exactly what has happened,isn't it being billed as a "media,fan and influencer" festival or did the changes not get approved?
@jswhitfield8 Believe it when I see it.
@jdv95 they should do their own before E3, XBOX always gets the prime time slot at E3 (the American company getting the best slot at an American event, shocker) so by the time Sony would get to show it, most of the western world will be asleep because they always get the "stupid o'clock" time slot and all the news outlets will be talking about the Nextbox
better to do it on your own terms and your own time in a way that everyone can experience it and without worrying about everyone buzzing about the competitors reveal just hours before
So looks like no PSX again this year will be over 18 months without any major Sony conference
@teknium_ it's all a big questionmark imo.
even though the shows might be bad from now on because of the changes,it will obviously still have conferences hosted by big developers like the current format. how they will change is unknown.
but it would make sense to keep the current conference format for the next gen console reveals,since those only happen every 6/7 years(mid gen upgrades don't count) and well those are just to big to change in such a drastic way.
@FullbringIchigo that i do agree with !
but i still think they will be there in some way.
it depends on when they plan to reveal the console and it's games.
if sony does a ps5 reveal in early 2020 like the ps4 than they could still show up at e3 to show the launch games,price etc.
however if they keep the console's reveal for later than they might skip e3 and do a psx reveal with EVERYTHING revealed about the ps5 and the launch games.
there are rumors about a playstation meeting in february 2020 which could lead to a ps5 reveal just like the ps4's first reveal back in february 2013 that focused on the specs and some new features with teases of future games that got a bigger spotlight at e3 of that year.
@jdv95 well it worked then so they probably will do something like that
I can feel myself getting bigger thinking of the PS5 ;-o I guess there will be a 'See the Future: Part 2'(or should that be part 5) in February. Anyway I can't wait
@jdv95 I donโt think sony want to do anything with e3 again, especially after that e3 personal info leaks, they will make their own show for ps5 unveiling.
@wiiware that would be great.
hoping for a hour that also fits nice for europe/uk.
@bindiana They've abandoned PSX in favor of doing State of Plays and random news dumps.
As well as still sharing new info during certain conventions
PlayStation ๐ king of gaming since 1995.word up son
I honestly think stuff like the controllers specific trigger and rumble should have been saved for the real reveal. I feel like they're going to need some real big megatons in addition now that they've revealed as much as they have. Maybe they will, but the latest info drop just felt like it make very exciting features seem like they don't matter that much or are that hype.
The latest news drop almost passed by me and didn't feel exciting at all. The first one made sense, but not they just look afraid of MS stealing their thunder.
I think the controller will be unveiled in February/March, and the console itself will be unveiled around E3 time, similar to the PS4
