VentureBeat reporter Jeff Grubb has stated on the Resetera forums<\/a> Sony is “currently” planning to stage a PS5 reveal event on that date. <\/p>\n It was previously claimed<\/a> either the PS5 or Xbox Series X showcase could be taking place as early as May, although this could now point towards Microsoft taking the plunge first. <\/p>\n It’s important to note the emphasis on “currently” – as the current landscape with the coronavirus pandemic could easily shift plans for any reveal event back or forward. <\/p>\n A PS5 reveal event on this date however would make sense, considering the Official PlayStation Magazine is set to reveal a number of PS5 games<\/a> in its new issue on 2nd June, two days prior. <\/p>\n Sony has so far only revealed specifications and the PS5 controller DualSense<\/a>, which will feature haptic feedback and a built-in microphone. <\/p>\n While there’s been questions around whether the PS5 will actually launch this year, it’s also been rumoured the company could release the console in a limited capacity<\/a> due to its high price.<\/p>\n Microsoft in comparison have revealed a lot more about their next-gen offering, having shown off the console way back in December at the Game Awards.<\/p>\n
