Discover the design of the Playstation 5 and its first games - 20 Minutes

Sony responds to Microsoft. The Japanese manufacturer unveiled the design of the Playstation 5 on Thursday ... but not its price or its launch date. We discovered a black and white console with a very cleavage design, which will be available at the end of 2020 in two versions, with and without disc player. The “Digital Edition” model will be reserved for digital games to download.

For the rest, we already knew the new DualSense wireless controller. On the accessories side, Sony will offer a noise reduction headset supporting 3D audio, a dual HD camera and a mini-remote control with integrated microphone inspired by the Apple TV for simplified navigation when watching TV.

25 games revealed

As for the Xbox series X, we have to face the facts: the graphic gap between the intermediate generation (PS4 Pro) and the PS5 is more of an evolution than a revolution. Horizon II: Forbidden West is without doubt the only game shown on Thursday to be able to proudly claim the label of next gen , with scenery to die for.

Unsurprisingly, Sony is betting on its blockbusters, with Gran Turismo 7 and Marvel's Spider-Man Miles Morales . Ratchet and Clank are back in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart , and Sackboy thinks he's Mario in his Big Adventure . Masochists will hurt themselves with the remake of the classic Demon's Souls .

On the side of third party publishers, Capcom is inspired by M. Night Shyamalan with a Resident Evil Village disturbing at will. Arkane Lyon's Frenchies ( Dishonored ) have fun with Deathloop , an explosive action game featuring two rival assassins. And Square Enix doesn't seem very advanced with its Project Athia . Add nostalgia for Oddworld Soulstorm , the animated adventure Goodbye Volcano High reminiscent of Life is Strange and then the adorable cat from Annapurna Interactive in Stray , and we begin to see a respectable line-up. But let's not dream, more than half of these titles will not be released before 2021 or 2022.
