You’re Invited: A Look at the Future of Gaming on PlayStation 5

Tune in to see the future of gaming.

Update: We have decided to postpone the PlayStation 5 event scheduled for June 4 until June 11 at 1pm Pacific / 9pm BST.

While we understand gamers worldwide are excited to see PS5 games, we do not feel that right now is a time for celebration and for now, we want to stand back and allow more important voices to be heard.


With each generation, from the first PlayStation to PlayStation 4, we aim higher and we push the boundaries further, to try and deliver better experiences for our community. This has been the mission of the PlayStation brand for more than 25 years. A mission I have been a part of nearly since the beginning.  

There are few things as exciting as the launch of a new console. While this road to launch has been a bit…different, we are as thrilled as ever to bring you with us on this journey to redefine the future of videogames.

We’ve shared technical specifications and shown you the new DualSense wireless controller. But what is a launch without games? 

That’s why I’m excited to share that we will soon give you a first look at the games you’ll be playing after PlayStation 5 launches this holiday. The games coming to PS5 represent the best in the industry from innovative studios that span the globe. Studios, both larger and smaller, those newer and those more established, all have been hard at work developing games that will showcase the potential of the hardware. 

This digital showcase will run for a bit more than an hour and, for the first time, we will all be together virtually experiencing the excitement together. A lack of physical events has given us an amazing opportunity to think differently and bring you on this journey with us, and hopefully, closer than ever before. This is part of our series of PS5 updates and, rest assured, after next week’s showcase, we will still have much to share with you. 

Please join us on Twitch or YouTube on June 4 11 at 1pm PDT / 9pm BST / 10pm CEST to see what’s in store for the next generation of games. I hope we can make you proud.

  • You Need am Exact Version of this controller to be the standard with Xbox360 style sticks or other configs

  • Sony, I am ready. I am patient. Keeping expectations low. Mostly expected to see multi-platform gameplay and hopefully a couple first party and or third party exclusives. I’ve been with you guys since PS1. Keep it up guys.

  • I literally cannot wait

  • Congratulations on the new launch, of the Ps5. Iam looking forward to this next chapter of gaming. Ya’ll have been like a family over the years. Good luck, and be safe.

    • WTF?…they didn’t even showed the PS5 and you already want to be robbed by a pro of it like they robbed people with PS4 pro?…hahaha.

  • This is where the fun begins. Does this mean pre orders will be available that day too?

  • You guys better show us the console I’m fricking tired of waiting

  • Hope the PS5 was better than PS4.

  • متحمس لتجربته ومنتظر نزوله

  • I can’t wait

  • I’m on a long, patient hold for this. I won a raffle to be one of the first to purchase the PS3 when it came out. And I bought a second PS4 Pro just to have the Death Stranding CE. I have two DS3 for fun, and if course my switch. Vitas, PSP… Yeah all of that. But damn, I’m in no hurry for the PS5. My back-catalog of games yet to finish is copious to say the least. Maybe I’m just getting old.

  • Who cares about the games. Are y’all going to show the actual console that y’all expect us to buy?

  • I can’t wait! Although it’ll be a while before PS5 games are amazing and affordable. Still really forward to it as always. They always put on a great show.

  • Bring back MAG. That’s all us MAGets want. Thank you.

  • Oh, yeah. In my restless dreams, I see that town.

  • This better bee good

  • Y’all better not fail me!

  • Man and to think after playing games for more than 23 years and more specifically playstation games, this company never ceases to amaze me and I’m sure they’ll do it again come Thursday 4th. Amaze me sony

  • Hyped!!

  • Lezgow

  • omg i can’t wait to see it !!!

  • I can’t wait to see PS5

  • lightskingamer42

    Love how nobody’s making videos on how the Xbox is “better” can’t wait for the ps5 and the event💕🌤

  • We won’t see the console at this event. To be honest that doesn’t bother me, just to see what the games are like is going to produce a lot of hype.

  • Ugh too soon for a PS5…what’s with the hype about an unnecessary thing?…aah people just want new things as always,guess everybody would be fine if PS6 released next year haha.Good old Sony I miss you and hope the launch of PS5 gets delayed to next year and beyond…gonna have to buy this eventually as I’m a slave of the gaming industry and can’t quit even when I’m disappointed at a company yup you Sony so hope the PS5 doesn’t look as ugly as its controller,hope y’all didn’t tried to make it look well…like that thing that starts with x.

    As for the games…I know all exclusives will be a technical marvel and that ma jaw will drop to the floor,wonder how much AAA exclusives we’ll see.Horizon 2 is practically confirmed…that alone will make me want to buy this,damn.

  • Playmastr here, counting the days patiently with such guarded anticipation…

  • BTW! Thanks for the invite

  • I am sooo ready for this 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

  • Thank all of you at PlayStation for the update!

    I really appreciate the ample heads up and having you guys set expectations for this virtual event! Also, I can’t say this enough, the recent State of Plays have been fantastic! It feels like you guys are finally getting into your own groove.

    Can’t wait to hear and see more!

  • Will PS3 games be backwards compatible? And will PS1/PS2 games that were backwards compatible on PS3 be backwards compatible?

  • If you released tge systems now you would sell more units then you ever have due to people being in the home due to the pandemic.
