PS5 will be Sony’s most powerful game console yet. Here is everything you need to know.
Sony has finally revealed the PS5. At the June 11 showcase event, we learned all about the PS5’s library of games, but the conference ended with the surprise reveal of the PS5 system itself. We now know that the system will be black and white boxes with rounded angles and fins at the top. We also know that it will share a color scheme with a similar black and white DualSense Controller.
Beyond that, all the information we know about the PS5’s specs is the same as before. Still, it will have a 10.3 teraflop AMD RDNA 2 GPU for rendering vivid, realistic graphics alongside a dedicated 825GB SSD that can load games incredibly quickly. Most games run at 60 frames per second at 4K resolution, but the system can theoretically handle resolutions up to 8K and frame rates up to 120fps.
We haven’t learned a price or release date for the PS5 yet, but we’ve included all the information we know about these two topics later in this guide.
The updated PS5 game list sums up everything that happened at the PS5 June 11 event. We’ve seen over an hour of gameplay footage from various games, including Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Hitman 3, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and Horizon II: Forbidden West.

Sony announced the final design of the PS5 on June 11. The console will come in two styles: an asymmetrical PlayStation 5 and a symmetrical PlayStation 5 Digital Edition. The difference between the two is pretty clear: the first has a disk drive, the second will only play digital games. As such, it’s likely that the PS5 Digital Edition will cost less, but it’s not clear how much the price cut might be.
Beyond that, the design is a departure for PlayStation, which has been released with all-black consoles since the PS2. The PS5 is a two-tone black and white console with a vertical configuration and curved white fins that cover a round black box.

- Storage: Dedicated 825GB SSD
- Expandable storage: NVMe SSD slot
- Optical driver: 4K Blu-ray drive
Mark Cerny, Sony’s lead systems architect, hosted a talk on March 18 that circulated users on some of the highlights of the PS5’s hardware. Specifically, he discussed the PS5’s SSD configuration and 3D audio capabilities. We can also give information about the CPU, GPU and RAM structure of the system.
The GPU will also use ray tracing and primitive shaders, which will affect both power consumption and thermal management. Unlike PS4, where power consumption can differ tremendously from game to game, PS5 will try to standardize power consumption for each game and make resources available as needed. This should prevent overheating and excessive fan noise.
One of the most exciting – but also technically challenging aspects of the PS5 – is its emphasis on 3D audio. Some PC headsets already have 3D sound, but in the end, they want the PS5 to deliver 3D sound regardless of platform: TV speakers, headphone or soundbar. The key to 3D audio is in the Header-Related Transport Function, or HRTF. This feature maps a person’s hearing to the frequency, direction, and volume level of a sound.
PS5 Games
One of the biggest games announced at the PS5 11 11 event was Spider-Man: Miles Morales, which will launch alongside the PS5. This game will put you in control of Miles Morales as a newer, younger, less experienced Spider-Man with all of Peter Parker’s powers and then some. We’ve seen very little of the game so far, but expect to hear more about the holiday between now and its release date.
In April 2020, Sony officially received DualSense, a radically redesigned PlayStation controller to accompany the PS5. DualSense has a familiar button layout and brings back the TouchShok from the DualShock 4, while its two-tone black and white design is unlike any PlayStation controller before.
As Sony has previously confirmed, the DualSense will feature haptic feedback and adaptive triggers that will provide realistic, haptic rumble, for example, to simulate the feeling of driving through mud or firing a bow and arrow. The controller’s Share button has been replaced by a new Create button, which Sony says will provide even more ways to capture and share your favorite gaming moments.
DualSense also has a built-in microphone that lets you chat with your friends without having to plug in your gaming headset. The controller’s light bar now surrounds the touchpad, allowing you to better see the glow emanating from it and beautifully complement the white design.
PS5 interface
We haven’t seen the PS5 interface in action yet, but a Reddit leak a while ago shows what the PS5 dev kit’s menus look like. The interface in this leak is pretty much the same as the PS4, but as many users have pointed out, this may not reveal anything about the PS5’s menus. Developer kits often use things that already work, rather than what might look good in the future.
Also, a Sony patent application filed in 2018 could tell us a little more about a new addition to the PS5’s interface. A “persistent knowledge platform” might use pop-up dialogs to tell you how long it might take to complete a certain level and whether doing so would conflict with any real-world obligations you have. The patent has yet to be filed, so if Sony ever implements this, it may not be a launch feature.
