The console is finally shown to the public, many months since Sony made the PS5 official back in October 2019. (READ: All the games revealed at Sony’s PS5 showcase)
The new console will be primarily white, with a black middle, flowing design lines, and a round stand that props the console up vertically. Two white plates seemingly sandwich the console's main body, forming a tapered look that goes wide to narrow from top to bottom. A disc drive is found on the right, along with some ports in the middle. However, there will also be a "Digital Edition" model, which will not have a disc drive.
The striking futuristic design is a new direction for the console as its predecessor, the PlayStation 4 has a more low-key appearance, with a black finish, and only made distinct by its parallelogram shape. The PS5's curved profile stands in stark contrast to its rival, the Xbox Series X, which has a black, rectangular prism design. The Series X's design was first shown off in December 2019 at the Game Awards.
The reveal of the PS5 came at the end of the hour-long event, which primarily showcased some of the first batch of games coming to the system. Some of the high-profile titles are Resident Evil 8, Horizon Forbidden West, NBA 2K21, Oddworld Soulstorm, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and Gran Turismo 7.
The PlayStation 5 is set to come out later this year. No price has been announced. – Rappler.com
