Note that with a high degree of probability, Sony will not show the console itself during the event – a full presentation of the device is expected closer to the end of summer.
Thanks to earlier leaks, we already know that 38 games will be included in the first wave releases, including Rainbow Six Siege, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Battlefield 6, DiRT 5, Watch Dogs Legion and others.
To date, Sony has revealed only some of the features and capabilities of the new PlayStation 5 showed a new DualSense gamepad and of course, a new logo.
