It's finally happening, folks. Sony has confirmed that there will be a PlayStation 5 games showcase next week, on the 4th June. It will be over an hour in length. Sony has also published the above teaser trailer, which features the slogan "The Future of Gaming".
"I’m excited to share that we will soon give you a first look at the games you’ll be playing after PlayStation 5 launches this holiday," writes Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO and president Jim Ryan.
"This digital showcase will run for a bit more than an hour and, for the first time, we will all be together virtually experiencing the excitement together. A lack of physical events has given us an amazing opportunity to think differently and bring you on this journey with us, and hopefully, closer than ever before. This is part of our series of PS5 updates and, rest assured, after next week’s showcase, we will still have much to share with you."

WORD UP SON!
Yeah buddy!! Going to be a long week though!!
YES! Is that the new PS5 start-up sound?
Sidenote: Although now the European site diverts to this one they still give US times.
Excellent! Well done, Sony.
That's a damn sleek looking controller.
hyyyype!
Finally. Might actually see if they can convince me to upgrade straight away or not.
At last, next gen starts when Sony says so✌️😁🎮😁
Can hear that train acoming
lets get on the trains boys n girls
BANG BANG BANG! finally! Reveal it all and let me confirm my pre-order.
The hype that's gonna build over the next week and the discussions which will dominate the weeks after will be total justification of Sony's ploy of keeping their cards close to their chests so far.
Less than a week. Color me excited. Considering the Ghosts of Tsushima and The Last of Us 2 gameplay deep dives were more impressive than what others showed us for next gen gameplay, expectations here are very high.

After the long wait for the reveal, Sony are showcasing their games before Microsoft. Their reveal is way off in July... The pendulum is very much swinging back in Sony's direction. Here's hoping their idea of a "showcase" isn't just CGI premade nonsense like the Xbox one the other week.
Sammy will be like "well that 3 weeks of content on the site sorted then"
Awesome, what with this and the rumoured Sega news, next week is going to be very exciting
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
YES
@AdamNovice More like three months!
FINALLY!!
DON'T DISSAPOINT!!
Super excited about PS5 - genuinely innovative, high performance tech. I just hope they don't drop the ball with backwards compatibility. The PS4 catalogue is an embarrassment of riches, so if they make that available (hopefully with performance enhancements) Sony will enjoy another successful console generation.
And that's before we even get onto PSVR 2, which has the potential to be massive (over 4m PSVR user base to date)
This is still unbelievable to me, even after the teaser 🤯
"While this road to launch has been a bit…different"
You ain't kidding Jim.
"This is part of our series of PS5 updates and, rest assured, after next week’s showcase, we will still have much to share with you."
So more to come. Yes!
Also is this the first official look at the black variant of the dualsense?
That black controller.
The SOUND!
Man I'm ready for this
Yes.
But is that a black DualSense?
@ankehuber
Should be around 9PM UK time I believe. The U.S. time given was 1PM Pacific. I'm Central, which makes it 3PM local, and UK time is typically 6 hours ahead from where I'm located...but daylight savings in the States always throws me off.
@JJ2 Good catch! I do hope so!
@JJ2 yep. i always thought we would get it in different collours at launch anyway. just like the ps5 itself perhaps?
@roe @ShogunRok I think that may be the PS5's startup sound. If so, it really reminds me of the PS1's iconic startup...
I should keep my expectations low, but I’m am looking forward to this.
@lacerz glad to see it's also as confusing for a local too
Hurrah some proper detail at last... Looking forward to it...
Cool, looking forward to seeing some new games in action.
Ooo an hour long. Exciting!
Cerny also used the term future of gaming in his deep dive.
The madness begins ! 🙂
Can you guys smell it...the HYPE! It's finally here! And with probably real gameplay!
Word up, son, word up...
Thank god! I thought it was never gonna happen.
Nice!
Can't wait to see what games they'll be showing.
the DS5 is not so white anymore or just a light game ? That's the important stuff...
645000 views on Twitter alone in 45 mins.
The hype is real.
My body is ready!
@lacerz yea those pesky 3rd party games...
Finally! The hype levels are going to be off the charts so hopefully, they come within reach of expectations. It'll be hard to exceed them, but they need to really make an impression.
Cool, but they don't mention the console itself at all. No box reveal yet?
@JJ2
I wish, but it seems it's only the a effect of lighting on white gamepad.
Please show gameplay Sony!
Sweet look forward to see what they show. Hopefully some nice gameplay of games, and something to suprise us all, I'm still planning on getting it on day one but hopefully this reveal will just confirm that.
All I want to know is its price and if TLOU2 and Cyberpunk 2077 versions are confirmed, so I can start selling my Gamecube games... I just found out that used copies of Paper Mario TTYD are sold at € 100!
@andreoni79 yeah TTYD goes for loads which is why I’m so pissed I lent mine to a friend and never got it back 😢😤
@JJ2 no I think it's just the lighting, it looks white at points and is probably more to symbolise that it's about to be revealed
Same day as big news about Sega is supposed to drop. Next week is going to be fun.
Awesome news, can't wait! I'm equally pleased to see we are getting a black console too, whilst the white controller looked good the black controller is way cooler IMO
What about the actual PS5 itself?
Doesn't sound like we'll get all our questions answered yet,(regarding further ps5 features etc.),but I'm okay with the concept that Sony will likely be pushing ps5 exclusive first party over cross-gen. You want to see the new shiny toy show whats possible on new tech that just can't be done on current gen.
So... Only games... Not the console... :/
Get in! And at a reasonable time in the UK! Time to make sure snacks and drinks are at the ready!
For me if HZD2 is a launch title, the rest would be just be the icing on the cake!
I've watched the Unreal 5 demo about 20 times...so what am I going to do after 1 hour or more of gameplay?
@Octane My credit card is ready!
@whizzkidd I just came to say this. I found it odd that it says we'll get a look at the games but didn't say we'd get a look at the console.
Is that controller black or just the white one in a dimly lit environment? Thoughts?
@Party_Cannon Well DS4 + games were revealed in February and console design in June. Now it's completely postponed so it doesn't struck me wierd to not have a design reveal now. We'll see.
@teknium_
I've been a Wii U player during the bleakest era that console had. Believe me, you PS people know nothing about the agony third-party support (or lack thereof) can bring.
@DavLFC
It's clearly black.
Oh, fudge. I've brought up 2020's equivalent of the white/gold dress, didn't I.
I'm so hyped!
I'm with @carlos82 , I think it's still the white/black dualsense we know it's just the lighting. An hour, oh man I can't wait. Looks like I lucked out with next week on hol otherwise I'd be leaving for work when it was on.
Two important updates:
Yes! Black Dual sense!
That made me excited already!
In closer inspection, i'm not sure. Could be or not. The shadows and white light they are shining on it makes it difficult to tell.
@AlexSora89 I feel you about the Wii u...but I was just having some cheeky bant with the other guy as some people STILL seem to think those games at the ms "event" were exclusive
ITS HAPPENING!!!! Alright, I’m excited to finally see this happen. If done right, this should easily be the best next-gen reveal we’ve had.
At the risk of starting a new The Dress debate...
The way to tell whether this is the previously-unveiled, black-and-white DualSense or a new all-black version is to look for a border between white and black plastic. Go to 0:07 in the video: You can see what has previously been white plastic (touchpad) against what has previously been black plastic (speaker grille). They sure look the same color to me!
Excellent, hopefully I'll be able to make my mind up afterwards.
Megaton incoming.haha.the 👑 king is here.word up son
Think it's time for a poll @get2sammyb, is the controller black or white?
@AdamNovice. No doubt playa.word life .word is bond.word to your mother.word up son
Makes me wonder if there’s going to be a black and white variation of the consoles, since they showed off a white DualSense in the initial reveal. Anyways, hell yeah!
ready to see more, I'll wondering if we'll be seeing pricing & a solid release date? it's around the time E3 would have gone ahead so I'm looking forward to it.
Oh yes, super nice
Also 1 hour, man I'm super excited for this event
Make Horizon Zero Dawn 2 a launch title and announce Silent Hill Sony. And you'll win the generation there and then.
Give me a hell yea
I’m so hypedddd. Only issue is that I’ll be watching the PS5 reveal event in the car park of my workplace, as I start at 10:30 pm that day🤣🤣😅
It’s time boys and girls! Bluepoint Games, please be there!
I hope they can stream this in 4K!
HZD2, Silent Hill, Demon's Souls and a free upgrade for FFVIIR and other games like GoT, TLoU2, and Cyberpunk2077. If they do that I'll start launching wads of cash at them out of a cannon.
"I wasn't expecting it to be that long..."
That's what she said
Its awesome we are going to see some games. But when are we going to be hearing about the ps5 itself, its functionality and features?
Great, I am looking forward to it.
PS5 in June, Series X in July - it's going to be a great next couple of months for me!
Goliath online. Systems functional.
OH MAN, OH MAN! IT IS FINALY HAPPENING! Show us exclusives running on the system, maybe some interface(menus and such) and the console itself.
PS: I love the black and white controller, but that all black controller though..... So nice! Cheers and happy gaming to us all.
Obviously this isn't going to be structured like a State of Play, but those start with the PS4 light bar and beep, and those sounds in the trailer sound a lot like opening menu sounds, so I wonder if they're going to "start up" a PS5, to really drive home that everything is running on it, and to give us a tease of the hardware itself. That'd be fun, I think.
@sajoey you’d probably just write it off as a random noise, since we don’t know what a PS5 booting up will sound like 😉
@kyleforrester87 and you're absolutely right! But boy would it be fun.
I demand a custom boot up sound: mine would be the Barney Gumble's burp on working days and champagne uncorking on weekends.
Here's hoping for a Wipeout 2097 HD remake with the original physics and backwards compatibility of all Playstation generations - just pop in a disc and it will work
@twenty90seven or how about, oh I don’t know, a new Wipeout?!
I can't wait
Wouldn't mind one of the games being shown to be Elden Ring
@andreoni79 I've got some pogs I can trade ya
@playstation1995 Sorry for stealing your line, just the hype talk.
@AdamNovice. Its ok hahaha.cant wait for sega announcement and ps5 announcement.its going to be great.what games are you looking for.word up son
#BlackControllerMatters
Leaving that aside, HYPE TO THE INFINITY AND BEYOND!!!
About.
Damn.
Time.
HYPE
EDIT: Demon's Souls Remake, Resident Evil 8, Spider-Man 2, Horizon 2, Dino Crisis Reboot, Ninja Gaiden 4, Onimusha Reboot, Darkstalkers, Marvel Super Heroes 2 (Capcom), Batman
Ooh, ooh! And Silent Hill!
Here we go! Very excited now - bby the way it's worded I'd guess that this stream is mostly about games and then we'll see a hardware blowout a little down the line once we're already hyped up with all the new stuff in the pipeline. Will be interesting to see how that works compared to Microsoft's approach, which has featured lots of info about the console but more of a low-key drip feed of game info.
I don't want to get ahead of myself about wishlists of games as that's likely to lead to disappointment, but there's definitely a few games that would send my hype levels through the roof, like genDESIGN's next game, Silent Hill, Bloodborne 2 or Spider-Man 2.
Roll on Thursday!
Do you guys and gals think we will see any footage of Elden Ring or the Demon's Souls Remake?
As Jackie from Cyberpunk 2077 would say, "Buckle up, sh*t's happenin"
Ommmmmggg!!! Psyque for the 4th of june!!! Almost there! Give us a release date!!
I'm so happy we finally have a date for the PS5 event.
Gimme HZD2, Spider-Man 2, God of War 2, New Uncharted, Demon's Soul Remake.
I also want the PS5 console to be finally shown off, release date revealed, and the launch price too!
Remote play device for PS5 please. Lol
I’m absolutely sure, Sony will present amazing games, I’m still hoping with fingers crossed that the hardware runs more silent and cool...if so, I’m ready to pay for it
