So, let&#8217;s take a look at the PS5 specs and vital info!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With previous consoles like the PS3 and PS4 being released in November, we speculate a similar date. We could even have a spooky Friday the 13th release date in November for the new PS5 console. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the details that Sony have been feeding us over the last year about the PS5, it&#8217;s safe to say that we have a pretty good idea of what the PS5 going to feel like, and how it will perform. <br><br>The PS5 will feature a huge <strong>825GB SSD<\/strong> that&#8217;s clocked between <strong>5.5 &#8211; 9 GB\/s<\/strong>, which could bring a stop to the endless loading times that we&#8217;ve all sat through in titles like The Witcher 3 and Bloodborne. If it doesn&#8217;t cut out the loading times completely, there&#8217;s going to be a significant reduction compared to the PS4.<br><br>There will be an expansion bay for another SSD. Sony haven&#8217;t released full details on the type of SSD you&#8217;ll need, however it&#8217;s likely for the PS5 to be compatible with an M.2 SSD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The PS5 also has an <strong>Eight-core AMD Zen 2 CPU <\/strong>and a <strong>GPU <\/strong>based on the <strong>AMD RDNA 2<\/strong>. These should offer improved consistency with frame rate, and improved ray tracing making it a great competitor with Gaming PC builds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In June 2020, Sony announced that there&#8217;s going to be two versions of the PS5 console, one with a blu-ray disc drive and another digital console with no disc drive. It&#8217;s understood that the digital console will be cheaper, although Sony haven&#8217;t yet released the pricing for either console yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sony revealed the new <strong>DualShock controller <\/strong>in April 2020, which is going to be a step up from the PS4 controller. With haptic feedback, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/2020\/04\/07\/introducing-dualsense-the-new-wireless-game-controller-for-playstation-5\/\">Sony have said <\/a>that this will add a <em>variety of powerful sensations<\/em>.<br>This means that you should be able to feel the true resistance when driving in Gran Turismo 7, and tension when drawing a bow and shooting an arrow in Horizon: Forbidden West. <br>It also features a built-in microphone, a 3.5&nbsp;mm mini jack, and a USB-C connection.<br><br>They&#8217;ve also updated the &#8220;share&#8221; button to a &#8220;create&#8221; button, which you can still use to stream your game directly to YouTube or Twitch, making it even easier to become a content creator. <br>If you&#8217;re looking for music to refine your channel, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/\">RouteNote Licensing library<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if that isn&#8217;t enough to get you excited, the PS5 have some great <strong>exclusive titles<\/strong> to bring to the table including Marvel&#8217;s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Demons souls, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, Ratchet and Clank, and so many more. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sony has stated that the PS5 will be released in the &#8220;holiday season of 2020&#8221;.
