Commencing with an epic montage of the greatest games to be launched on the PlayStation console, Sony’s previously delayed presentation proved to be well worth the wait.
The marathon of a presentation showcased a vast range of games launching over the next couple of years on the PS5, as well as the unveiling of the next-gen console.
Introducing the video, president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, Jim Ryan, described the new console as “the biggest generational transition that the industry has yet seen.”
There was a considerable amount announced and detailed throughout the hour-long ‘The Future of Gaming’ video.
So, we’ve got all of the game announcements compiled in a list with their release dates (if mentioned) as well as the major highlights from the PS5 event.
Major highlights from the PS5 – The Future of Gaming Show
There wasn’t a single title that didn’t look intriguing in some way, with all of the footage looking incredible.
What was shown of any gameplay was exciting, and the intro to the video did make a point of saying that all of the game footage was captured on PlayStation 5 systems.
In any case, these are the more major highlights from the PS5 event:
- PS5 owners get GTA Online for free when it the expanded and extended GTA V launches in 2021.
- PlayStation’s Spider-Man game swings onto the new console and is headlined by a new protagonist, star of Into the Spider-Verse and comic hero since 2011, Miles Morales! The game, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, arrives in November 2020 (Holiday 2020).
- Gran Turismo 7: The Real Driving Simulator will be making its return on the PS5, with the campaign mode being touted as very exciting for fans of the series.
