PS5 wants access to games "to be as fast as Netflix", according to Jason Schreier

The Kotaku journalist drops details about the operating system, always according to his internal sources.

The new generation is still running. Sony recently unveiled the technical specifications for the PlayStation 5, but there are still many aspects to reveal, including the operation of the interface and the new functionalities that will be implemented in the heat of the new SSD hard drive. In this sense, Jason Schreier, journalist for Kotaku, has published a series of comments in ResetEra regarding the speed of the console. The journalist points out that the Japanese company claims that enjoying video games is "as fast as Netflix."

"I've heard some fascinating things about the PS5 operating system," says Schreier. "One of the things they have said to developers is that playing PlayStation 5 should be as fast as Netflix. They want players to feel like they can load their game immediately and to know exactly how long a certain activity is going to take. ” Their intention is to encourage users to also play for short periods of time, since they consider that until now the ritual was to turn on the console to enjoy longer games. The fact that loading times are reduced will allow us to fertilize this path.

PlayStation 5 is still planned for the end of the year

The coronavirus epidemic (COVID-19) has swept across all sectors of society, including the factories where consoles are assembled and manufactured. This being the case, suspicions about a possible delay of the new generation systems soon flourished. However, in the midst of a storm, Sony has updated the official website for PlayStation 5 and has reaffirmed that the release date is not moving, it is still planned for the last months of 2020, although still without a specific date. Microsoft also maintains the same launch sale for Xbox Series X, its new console.

Meanwhile, analysts now estimate that the deadlines will be met, but that stores will receive limited units due to the coronavirus. The time and the magnitude of the crisis will tell.
