It is still expected that there will soon be another PlayStation meeting at which Sony will officially present the PS5. A current leak may now provide initial information.
Accordingly, the PlayStation Meeting will take place on February 5th in the Sony Hall in New York near Time Square. The focus is on the console design, the DualShock 5 controller, the new UI / Dashboard, various features, the specifications and of course the games. So both exclusive games, but also third parties and indies will play a role.
The keywords of the PS5 presentation are “little to no load times”, “blazing fast downloads”, “immersive controls”, “modular installs for games, download whatever”, “disc drive included”, and “download the games, or stream the games as an option ”to hold against Stadia. So PlayStation Now plays an even bigger role on the PS5.
At PlayStation Now it is said that it is probably a subscription model or the direct purchase of the games. In selected regions, the PS5 should also include a 3-month subscription to test the service.
Remote play plays a big role?
In the course of this, Sony would also like to push ahead with remote play, which will make it possible to play on smartphones, tablets, PCs, etc. Play whenever and wherever you want, as long as you have an internet connection. In addition, the official PlayStation App gets a redesign.
The last big feature is the backward compatibility, which will play a major role with all PS4 games. With a transfer ring features, these should be easily transferred to the PS5, the same applies to savegames and data.
How far this information applies is still unclear, since it was first published in the 4Chan forum. Authenticity cannot therefore be confirmed at this time, especially since this information still sounds very general. It is questionable whether Sony will actually distribute so much information about the PS5 at the PlayStation Meeting. At that time, the PS4 did this in several stages in order to keep talking.
