Sony unveiled two versions of the Playstation 5 during a live stream called The Future of Gaming on Thursday. The new generation of Playstation included the standard “Playstation 5” and “Playstation 5 Digital Edition”.
Users of the Digital edition will have to store their games on a hard drive as it does not come with a disc reader.
The tech company will offer a set of accessories to go with the consoles that include a DualSense charging station, wireless headset, HD camera, 3D audio support and a media remote. Sony says that the best gaming experience for this console is with a 4k TV.
Prices for the console or its accessories have not been released yet. But, the PS5 is expected to drop closer to the holidays at the end of the year.
Along with revealing the PS5, Sony also announced the games that will be available to play on the console.
