The official PlayStation account communicates via Twitter that the first games on the console will be announced on a date to be determined.
Sony will not present the first PS5 games on June 4. The digital event, initially planned for Thursday night, is postponed until further notice. A brief official statement published at 8:36 pm on Monday has caught the entire sector by surprise: "We have decided to postpone the PlayStation 4 event planned for June 4."
"We don't think this is the right time to celebrate"
Although the reasons have not transpired, the social tension in the United States derived from the death of George Floyd, an African American who died in police custody last Monday, has reached a global scale and solidarity against racism extends throughout the sector. If this morning we told that companies such as Bethesda, Riot Games, Summergall Studios, Sony, Naughty Dog or Xbox joined the #BlackLivesMatter movement, the Japanese company has decided to remain silent so that other voices are heard at the moment.
"While we understand that gamers around the world are excited to see PS5 games, we don't think this is the right time to celebrate and, for now, we want to step back and allow more important voices to be heard," they say. .

What were we scheduled to see this June 4?
As we said, Sony has not specified the new date of that event or if they will modify it regarding the planned content plan; it is hoped, however, that they will give more details in the coming days. In the meantime, they signify around silence so as not to take away the prominence from the voice that, in their opinion, must be heard.
It was confirmed that we were going to see the first games on the console; including some of those that will accompany the launch of the machine this Christmas. Jim Ryan, CEO and President of Sony Interactive Entertainment, has stated in numerous interviews that the now postponed launch event will be "as exciting" as an E3 conference.
The price of PS5 is equally unknown, although there are already many aspects that we know of the fifth generation of domestic consoles from the Japanese firm. In this article, we review all confirmed third-party publisher games for now. Likewise, in this other report we cover everything we know to date about it.
