  • PS5.Sony will present its first games this Thursday, June 11
  • Preview: Two hours playing The Last of Us Part II

After extending it once, Sony today announced its PlayStation 5 , or PS5 if we abbreviate. It is a new generation console with greater power, new tools and a new type of hard drive much faster that will allow, on paper, to load new video games without loading screens.

Along with the PS5, Sony has announced a handful of video games that will arrive exclusively, both at launch and in the first year of PlayStation 5's life. Names such as Horizon Zero Dawn 2 stand out , although there have been titles like GTA V that will appearance act with better graphics and playable news.

PlayStation 5 , and has a direct competitor, Xbox X Series . Microsoft has been competing for two decades with Sony in the field of video game consoles, with Nintendo as a company that makes an alternative video game console, Switch in this case, with a different bet than the other two.

PS5 has a risky design

PS5 will feature a BlueRay Ultra 4K disk reader, a high-speed 825GB SSD hard drive. The controller included with the PS5, the DualSense, features advanced body and trigger vibration technologies, a built-in microphone, a speaker, and will reproduce high-quality, 3D sound through its 3.5mm headphone jack.

PS5 Specifications

Drop down

  • CPU: 8x Zen 2 Cores at 3.5GHz (variable frequency)
  • GPU: 10.28 TFLOPs, 36 CUs at 2.23GHz RDNA 2
  • RAM: 16GB GDDR6 / 256-bit
  • Disc reader: 4K UHD Blu-ray Drive
  • Internal storage: 825GB modified SSD hard drive
  • External Storage: NVMe SSD Slot

But most striking of all is its design, vertically, with curved lines that form a V, a clear reference to the five of its name, when viewed from the front. It looks like a futuristic object and it is the first time that Sony bets on two colors, black and white, with hints of blue, for its console.

The most curious thing is that it will be sold in two versions: one with a disc reader and the other without it, so you can only play digital games downloaded and installed on your hard drive. From this decision it can be assumed that the version without disc reader will have a lower price, but Sony has not revealed the price.

Along with the game console, Sony has presented a family of official accessories: a wireless headset, a remote control, a charging base for the DualSense and a high-resolution camera, all sharing the design language of the console, in white and black.

The design of the PS5 will not leave anyone indifferent, and the first reactions have been visceral, given that it is radically different from anyone Sony has done with its previous game consoles, always with more straight lines than curved ones.

The main PS5 games

One of the first titles that Sony has shown is the sequel to its Spiderman video game, this time starring Miles Morales and not Peter Parker, in the role of the Wall Climber. It will be titled Spider-Man Miles Morales and will launch alongside the game console on Christmas 2020.

Immediately afterwards, Kazunori Yamauchi, the legendary creator of the Gran Turismo video games, has shown the new installment of the car driving franchise. Gran Turismo 7 will continue betting on driving simulation, faithful vehicle recreation and competition with all kinds of cars.

Behind the cars, something more casual and less serious: Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart , a new platform game in the series that has a graphic aspect like never seen and that seems to play with the constant changes of scenarios taking advantage of the fact that the PS5 is barely it has load times.

Shuhei Yoshida, one of Sony's great executives, has introduced one of the most spectacular games in the entire presentation: Demon's Souls Remake . It is an update of one of the cult games of the PS3 generation, the one that gave the starting gun to the Souls saga.

Another of the great games presented by Sony is Resident Evil 8: Village , which will be played in first person and will have a European setting full of baffling horrors. And it will be starring Evan, the poor man who had to pass them through in Resident Evil 7.

To close the presentation, Horizon Forbidden West , a sequel to the popular open-world title with dangerous robots developed by Guerrilla Games , has been announced . It seems that this time nature has reclaimed part of the world and that there is now more life in the world that Aloy will explore.

And more PS5 games

Square Enix has announced a new role-playing video game called Project Athia , which at the moment has no name, but seems to be set in a high fantasy world with dragons. It will be exclusive to PS5.

The following title is the responsibility of Annapurna Interactive, creators of games like Outer Wilds or What Remains of Edith Finch. Their new game is more futuristic than these two and will revolve around a society of fairly human robots. We do not know what genre it will be, but its protagonist is an abandoned cat. It will be titled Stray and will launch in 2021.

Housemarque Studios is another studio well known for its arcade games and will have a game for PS5, although this one seems more ambitious than other previous ones that they have done. An astronaut will have to explore an unknown world that will gradually change it. It seems like a mixture of psychological horror and science fiction with influences from Dark Souls on its game mechanics. It's called Returnal and it's also exclusive to PS5.

The next game is starring known to Sony fans, Sackboy, but it is not a Little Big Planet, but a platform game and puzzles in perspective of 45 degrees. It will be developed by Sumo Digital and will be called Sackboy: A Big Adventure .

Next, they have presented a racing video game called Destruction: AllStar s. It is very different from Gran Turismo 7: here the objective is to get hit with the rivals and be careful not to lose the car, because you will have to go on foot then and try to get another vehicle without dying in the effort.

Ember Lab, a new studio born from experts in cinema animation, have also announced a title full of magic and starring a young sorceress. Its title, Kena: Bridge of Spirits , and it looks like an action and puzzle game.

Here is a game that looks like pencil animation: Goodbye Volcano High . It will launch in 2021 and looks like a stand-alone game about a group of high school youth. Few more details have given about it.

Following several indie announcements, Oddworld Inhabitants has announced a new game from the critically acclaimed Oddworld saga. These games became widely known on the original PlayStation and are fondly remembered despite being somewhat forgotten over the years. It's called Oddworld: SoulStorm .

Shinji Mikami, a mythical developer of Japanese video games, has presented his new action and horror game in the open world set in Tokyo. It will be titled Ghostwire: Tokyo and will launch in 2021.

Next, a new science fiction video game developed by the Superbrothers studio has made an appearance. It will be called The Far Shore and has a very minimalist aesthetic.

Gearbox has taken over and announced a new third-person action game with touches of epic fantasy. It will be called Godfall and will launch alongside the console in late 2020.

The creators of Hyper Light Drifter, Heart Machine, have unveiled their new project right after. They have made the leap from 2D to 3D, but maintaining the aesthetics that made them known. His new video game will be called Solar Ash and will arrive in 2021.

Io Interactive is the next study to teach a new game, in this case, the next chapter of the Hitman saga, which will simply be called Hitman III and will arrive in January 2021. As always, it is a game that will revolve around stealth, will be set in the city of Dubai and, as always, will be starred by Agent 47.

From Dubai, to the depths of the sea or the thicket of the forest. The Wild serves as the setting for the indie game Little Devil Inside , an independent project born from a Kickstarter and that has now evolved into a complete project.

How could it be otherwise, they have also taught NBA 2K21 , a title already announced weeks ago in the presentation video of Xbox Series X, but that could not yet have been seen in all its glory. This basketball game is, together with FIFA, one of those games that every year draws millions of players and fans of the sport alike.

What if you became the food you eat? That seems the proposal of the new video game from the creators of Octodad. Bugsnax is just about this and has a lovely graphics, as well as lots of lively food. I think I saw some running ribs ...

The creators of Dishonored, with Bethesda as distributor, have created a new stealth and action video game in which you have to play perfectly in each game. And if you screw up, you start the cycle again. It has a colorful and cartoonish setting, with touches of series B film from the 70s. And it's called Deathloop .

Closing the presentation, a science fiction game called Programata has been announced for 2022 , with a very strange cut, of dystopian science fiction and that seems more typical of Kojima than Capcom.

In accordance with the criteria of The Trust Project
