The video is scheduled to go live later today, June 11, at 4 p.m. EST/1 p.m. PST. According to the PlayStation Blog, this isn’t technically a live stream. Instead, it’s a “pre-recorded video” that will be streamed, showcasing upcoming PS5 games.
Sid Shuman, Senior Director, SIE Content Communications said in a PlayStation Blog post that “it’s also best if you watch while wearing headphones if you can — there’s some cool audio work in the show, and it might be harder to appreciate if it’s pumped through your phone or laptop speakers.”
This could be about Sony’s focus on sound throughout the PS5’s development. During The Road to PlayStation 5 event held earlier this year, Mark Cerny said that higher-fidelity 3D audio immersion has been a primary theme and goal for the team. It’s something Sony hopes to use in concert with the haptic feedback of the DualSense to enhance the gaming experience.
Though we don’t know what games will be shown during the event, we do know that PS5 launch games will be revealed, presumably a mixture of Sony-developed and third-party games.
Some have predicted that a new Resistance or Ratchet & Clank will be unveiled during the event. The rumor has been helped along by a few tweets from Insomniac along the way. Some think that a remaster/remake of Demon’s Souls will make an appearance. Still, others have suggested that Horizon Zero Dawn 2 will see its first reveal. We’ll just have to wait and see.
Be sure to check back with us after the event for a roundup of all the announced games, including their release dates and release windows. The PlayStation 5 is set to release in Holiday 2020. We currently do not know an exact released date or how much it will cost.
