What time is Sony's CES 2020 press conference? Just before the end of 2019, Sony teased its appearance at the Consumer Electronics Show -- or CES for short. CES 2020 begins on Tuesday 7th January 2020, and as per usual, the PlayStation-maker will be attending. But it's not just Sony's presence that has people talking.
On its website, Sony says "the future is coming" at CES 2020. It's an ominous slogan, and, well, it's easy to think that this could be related to the PlayStation 5 -- the next-gen console that's yet to be fully revealed. With its release confirmed for late 2020, Sony's system has to be shown off at some point, and rumours regarding a reveal in early 2020 have been swirling for months. But is CES 2020 the time and place?
There's only one way to know for sure: watch Sony's CES 2020 press conference. We've included all the dates and times below.

Will the PS5 be shown at CES 2020?
Sony's actions have been incredibly difficult to predict over the last year or so. The company has been restructured, and it's obviously been working on the PS5 behind closed doors. We know a decent amount about the next-gen console thanks to various articles in which Sony has shared key details, but we're yet to actually see the system in action. The steady drip feed of information has been unorthodox to say the least, and so we're hesitant to completely rule out a reveal of some kind at CES 2020.
That said, we would advise against getting your hopes up too high. Traditionally, Sony uses CES as a platform to talk about its non-PlayStation products, like its televisions and phones. In recent years, PlayStation has barely featured during its presentations at CES, and there's every chance that CES 2020 will be no different.
Again, tuning in to the press conference is the only way that we'll know for sure. And if you're unable to catch the stream, rest assured that we'll bring you any breaking news right here on Push Square.

There will be whispers for sure, perk up your ears.
In February we’ll get a glimpse at the new controller, with the full reveal following Microsoft’s sometime later in the year.
Sony will want as many eyeballs on the ps5 reveal as possible. Not a peep from any Playstation media channel has even mentioned this event. Of course anything can happen and I'd love to be surprised, but I highly doubt it will be there
I'm certain ps5 will be mentioned. In what way is a mystery.
Maybe some sparse general info, not much more because of time constraints and the absolute need to show many other electronic products.
@oscarHTX I agree fully with you. Ps5 reveal date maybe the only thing we get ps related. I'm hoping for some big show like the ps4 reveal
To be honest I have lost excitement for the ps5 with all the recent negative low spec leaks. If the ps5 is that underpowered compared to series x then i might just go back to Xbox again this time. I was a big fan of Xbox with the 360, but then my 360 broke for the second time around the time of the ps4/ xbox one reveal. I was going to buy a 360 replacement, but i was so disappointed with the Xbox one reveal that i got a ps3 instead and to catch up on all the ps3 games i had missed. A few years later i got a ps4 followed by a pro. I hope the specs are higher or that Sony do a ps5 pro at launch too. I'm not buying another weak console to upgrade again in a few years if they do the mid gen upgrade thing again
No it wont but i heard a rumour about Sony VAIO making a comeback. 😀
Are you sure those times are right?
Monday 1am (or 'stay up Sun past midnight to watch it' ) would be Sunday for the States?
If its Mon 7pm in the US then we have it Tues morning at 1am.
@OscarHTX I was thinking same
@TurboTom Bro, the specs that are mentioned in articles are rumors, and haven't been confirmed to be true. No one knows what the actual specs are until Sony reveals them. There's no reason to be a negative Nancy at this point. My advice would be to stop reading rumors and just wait until it's confirmed. That way, you'll at least be more enthusiastic. Or you know...find other things to do to pass the time. If power is the only thing that matters to you between both consoles, then perhaps PC gaming would be better for you.
@I_Like_It It'll be released during November.
@InsertUsername i think i prefer to stick to console gaming. Thanks for the advice, will try to stay away from rumours, however i am concerned that the leaked specs could be true, so they can stay at 399. But if so then hopefuly there is a ps5 pro at launch too
1am for me I will wait until the morning to watch it then + i want SONY to bring back the Cassette Player I am starting to get back into Tapes again + I have never liked how SONY have just ignored the PlayStation brand at these events :-/ It's all electrical stuff to
@redd214 @OscarHTX probably a reveal for psvr 2
With a build in ps4 and a.r. option.
Correct your article. In UK stream starts at 1am on 7th January not 6th.
Really doubt we'll see anything related to PlayStation, but then again everything we've heard so far has been shared with Wired first for some bizarre reason so I guess you never know.
I think it will be an announcement that all Sony’s 2020 tv’s will have HDMI 2.1 built in ready for the next generation of consoles.
I'm not staying up until 1am to find out.
Staying up until one in the morning to watch conglomerate suits show off new products? Na.
100ft 16K TV screens for when we're all living in our mansions. Actually, 16K is soooo last year, 32K it is.
It's pretty doubtful that Sony would show off their biggest and most valuable IP at such an early stage in the year when there is likely a lot of modifications they want to make, either to align itself more with the Xbox Series X in terms of power, or to keep the hype level up for the remainder of the year.
Something like E3 is a much more likely candidate, if not just to give itself far more presence, and to capture a wider audience.
CES is hardly aimed at gamers in general, as it's there to showcase all of the latest Sony tech, not just it's gaming hardware.
I work nights so I'll check in on my break what's going on. Won't be expecting anything but might be a nice surprise.
It's the next days at 8 pm for me, I think I just read the news by noon or afternoon.
@TurboTom
Xbox Series X (Scarlett) is Microsofts high end model, where (Lockhart) will be their low end model. This puts the Rumored PS5 specs right in the middle, but there will also be a higher end model of PS5, which was actually rumored to launch at the same time. (IF) this were true (we only have rumor on both sides), that would place the PS5 above the Lockhart, and the PS5 (Pro?) likely above the Scarlett.
Either way, we have to discuss Price. Something we have no solid information on. If the rumored specs are correct, and the PS5 and Scarlett are roughly the same price point, then it would be pretty bad, but if Scarlett is priced at a "Pro" price, then comparing it to the base PS5 is not a fair comparison.
Too much rumor and speculation to know anything for sure.
There seems to be a lot of smoke going around about this event from game industry folks. We may actually get something after all! I would LOVE to be wrong from my initial prediction. Not long to wait now!
@thedevilsjester yeah i was thinking something similar myself. Maybe the 9.2 Tflop ps5 could be base model for like 3.99, but the 13 Tflop rumour could actually be the ps5 pro at launch for 4.99 with a bigger ssd or something like that. The original comment i made on this article, i made a similar comment on a n4g article and i got banned? Lol. I was a bit shocked after all the silly comments i have seen on n4g over the years, but maybe they did me a favour, as it can get quite toxic on there anyway
@ShogunRok I wonder if Phil Spencer thinks it's going to be revealed given that he's just changed his profile picture on Twitter to Project Scarletts chip for the world to get a good look at
