More on the PS5:
The PlayStation 5 (PS5) is an upcoming home video game console developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Announced as the successor to the PlayStation 4 in 2019, its launch is scheduled for late 2020.
In a Wired magazine article in April 2019, Sony lead architect Mark Cerny revealed information on the then-unnamed successor to the PlayStation 4. This new console has a specialized solid state drive, a custom AMD GPU capable of ray tracing, backward compatibility with most PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR games, and support for both downloadable and disc-based games.
Similar to past console generations, Wired magazine anticipates developers will continue releasing new games for both the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation 5.[1] Electronic Arts has affirmed its games released in 2020 for the PS4 will have free updates to be playable on the PS5.[17] Bungie similarly has said Destiny 2 players on PS4 can update their game to the enhanced PS5 version at no extra cost.[18] The console supports cross-generation play for crossplatform and backward compatible games, enabling players to switch backward or forward between systems and continue their progress, while friends separated by platform can join the same multiplayer games together. Sony CEO Jim Ryan said "it won't be a binary choice about whether you have to be either on PlayStation 4 or next-gen to continue your friendship."[19][20] However, moving forward, Ryan stated in a May 2020 interview that he wants Sony's own PlayStation Studios to focus solely on exploiting PS5's enhanced capabilities instead of developing new crossplatform titles. "We have always said that we believe in generations. We believe that when you go to all the trouble of creating a next-gen console, that it should include features and benefits that the previous generation does not include. And that, in our view, people should make games that can make the most of those features.
