Sony is finally hosting the next PS5 event this week.
Fans hope for information on the price, release date and details on the pre-orders process.
Sony has announced a Playstation 5 showcase for September 16.
Games that will be released for the PS5 will be presented for 40 minutes.
Sony has not officially confirmed anything, but fans hope that the price, release date and information on pre-orders will finally be announced.
The PS5 * and Xbox Series X * will be on the market very soon - in around two months.
While Microsoft let the cat out of the bag and revealed information about the price, release date and pre-orders of the Xbox Series X / S, Sony is still making its fans fidget.
But the next Playstation 5 showcase is scheduled for this week, where the last secrets about the PS5 will probably be revealed.
PS5 showcase on Wednesday: Sony is under pressure
Update from September 14, 2020
: After the second PS5 event in August did not work, a new presentation will take place this week on Wednesday September 16.
Sony announced this on the Playstation Blog.
The 40-minute showcase will provide
updates on the latest titles from PlayStation Studios
.
Viewers can look forward to new gameplay material from, among other things, "Spider-Man: Miles Morales" and maybe one or the other announcement.
What most Playstation fans really want to know is information on the price and release of the PS5.
Now that Microsoft has taken the lead, it is high time Sony followed suit.
It will probably be ready on Wednesday, but nothing can be read about it in the Playstation blog.
But even in the run-up to the "
State of Play
"
event in June
, the company had not revealed that the PS5 would be unveiled. The audience was all the more surprised and delighted when the console was presented. Sony could now use the same strategy for the event track on Wednesday.
The stream will start
at 10 p.m. CEST
and will be broadcast on Playstation's official YouTube and Twitch channels.
The colleagues from ingame.de also report on the PS5 showcase.
Mark the 16th September 22:00 in your calendar!

However, a report on Sony's latest financial report from Bloomberg said that
another event is
planned for
August
.
It quoted an anonymous Playstation employee
who revealed
that Sony's next
big announcement regarding the PS5
is due this month.
The report gave no further details on this, but does suggest that the second event will be roughly the same size as the Future of Gaming event in June, when the PS5's design was first revealed.
