The 5 biggest things to expect from PlayStation in 2019 (SNE)
It's true: Sony has already announced its ongoing work on a successor to its current game console, the PlayStation 4 â which it may have already hinted will be called (what else) the PlayStation 5.
Starting as early as May 2018, Sony executives were openly discussing work on the new console. And with PlayStation skipping the game industry's annual June trade show, E3, for the first time ever, it's entirely possible that the company will hold its own event specifically to announce the next PlayStation.
That said, we know little about what the console will be. We do know that it might not arrive until 2021.
"We will use the next three years to prepare the next step," PlayStation head John Kodera said in May.
Here's what we expect from the next PlayStation console:
1. More horsepower, offering 4K/HDR support natively and, likely, support for G-Sync/FreeSync. 2. Backwards compatibility: Support for PlayStation 4 games, and potentially more. 3. A new, more powerful virtual reality headset. 4. An evolution of the PlayStation Now streaming service, potentially with PlayStation 5 games outright streamable.
