If you want to tune into The Road to PS5 video, then you can do so on the PlayStation Blog, or via the official PlayStation YouTube channel. The video is set to premiere at 9 AM PT, which means you can catch all of the information in a matter of minutes from now.
Those wanting to watch the video can do so using the embed that we have included above. We’ll be breaking down all of the news that we hear in the video, which means you can also keep an eye on our PlayStation 5 hub for all the details – if you can’t watch the video for some reason.
It’s really exciting to see news about the PlayStation 5 finally dropping – especially with the specs of the Xbox Series X being detailed earlier in the week. We’re intrigued to see how the specs for the PlayStation 5 will stand up to the impressive details that were shared for the next Xbox, and it will be interesting to see how Sony plans to “shape the future of games” with the PS5.

Nice, hope to hear good things :)
-
Its starting!!!!
-
Here comes Cerny :)
-
-
Yeah, it's a bit much...
-
-
great minds think alike.
-
-
-
Should have gotten Tom Servo and Crow
-
Pretty sure I just saw one turn its head.
-
Oh wow one moved...

oh good, that got Dana Carvey

Weeelllll isn't that special?!?!??!!

I would miss some of the Spider-man subway loads.
-
Yeah I'd feel like they'd have to do those for fun not because of loading in the background
-
-
Having read up on Cerny's history with Sony recently (for Wikipedia) and what he's said of the PS5 in the past, I have a good idea why he's focusing on access speeds here. Its the same reason why MS put in that 1TB extendable external storage slot. These systems need fast fast fast transfer rates.

16GB GDDR5
-
You mean 16GB GDDR6 :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-BkrwO_Dck , the next Gen Consoles are going to be freaking insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I coulda sworn when it came in through the broadcast I heard GDDR5 but that's just me I guess. Yeah, we've got some interesting times with raytracing in particular ahead of us.
-
LOL :) I would not doubt it, Cerny is an entertaining public speaker if you knwo what I mean :) LOL all good Man just wanted to stress that the memory jump is massive as well going to 6 and not just doubling the size!
Man I really think the PC will benefit massively from this console Gen for those consoles will be better than the majority of PCs gamers have. PC ports and the games in general should be insane and hard core leveled up!!!!!!!!
Can't wait!!!!! \m/ :) \m/!

The variable throttling not based off actual temperatures worries me about RROD issues. That being said, the PS5 is officially going to be about 10%+ slower than the XSX from the looks of things. PS5 will be much easier to expand storage though with the NVMe slot, not proprietary storage like the XSX. It'll be interesting to see prices on these when they come out.
-
-
Yeah, I'm not worried about the box as a whole, more individual part cooling.
-
-
So the expandable NVMe storage in the PS5 will be able to take advantage of everything that the built in storage will? I thought that was why the Xbox did it that way, so that there are no performance issues and the expandable drive will be able to do everything the internal one can?
-
It's likely the architecture of the PS5 has more basic requirements than the XSX for its permanent storage. It is mentioned that there will be Sony recommended storage, which means it's very likely that there will be a "right" NVMe solution for expanded storage, even if there are options.
-
-
-
-
Also seems like they've done a lot of work on the sound hardware.
-
-
1) Easier to cool properly, avoiding RROD like issues.
2) Easier to test and make sure you're actually going to get what you're expecting performance wise. -
So that there aren't any unexpected drops.
-
keep consistent frame rate.. if the GPU has to clock down likely the FPS will drop.
-
-
I think you are going to run into problems using a standard m2 slot. No one likes proprietary storage but MS has it right it will be exactly the same performance and cooled properly. How many people are going to understand what to buy for their PS5. Sure they will have a list but you know whatever is cheapest will end up in there.
-
-
seems like the load times will be a big thing unless microsoft has mentioned anything about that in regards to the series x
-
They both did, and they're both using NVMe SSDs, the PS5's raw read throughput is more than twice as fast here. Whether that makes up for the GPU differential will be interesting to see.
I also wonder what the lifespan of these SSDs is rated for, at least when considering the console's longevity.

Aaaaand done. It's interesting, I don't think the tech is going to outperform the XSX anywhere along the line except maybe audio. We'll have to see how much the ~15% TFLOPs delta between the PS5 and XSX matters once games hit the shelves.
-
Awesome! Here are the PS5's specs:
* Also I think the Next Gen consoles are going to be freaking insane and blow everyone's mind and most don't really comprehend what is coming, it's not just better IO. These Guys have to stop calling the HD a SSD, it's a freaking Next Gen NVMe PCIe 4.0 drive that is like comparing a OG SSD to a HDD sort of jump from a normal SSD. *

So yeah.... it's pretty freaking insane if you ask Me if this is the new baseline for Game Developers and the Xbox Series X is considered High End(running at 25 TFLOPS) that is pretty insane!
Right now I am juiced out of My mind.... this is an amazing time to be alive and the Next Gen consoles are going to be truly Ultra Omega insane crazy awesome \m/ :) \m/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-BkrwO_Dck
Honestly you can't loose with which ever console you get, either way the upgrade is MEGA Massive!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's freaking GO!!!!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-BkrwO_Dck

I can’t wait to hear this new audio on my 5.1/chimney fireplace setup.
-
As in subwoofer in the fireplace.
-
-
-
-
It just seemed to fit.
-
-
LOL it works soo well!
-

-
Definitely not sending Cerny a picture of my ear. Pervert.
-
Man who invented Marble Madness has lost his marbles. lol.
-
-
So backwards compatibility confirmed? I should probably sell my PS4 then.
-
I would wait and see what sony says in the coming week or so about it, since the messaging seems to be a bit muddled, to say the least.
-
Yes it is, basically there will be a few titles that will need to be patched and won't be playable on day one. Having said that they will have all the games working in time, they just have to test each one. Keep in mind they are not emulating the games they run natively on the PS5, only some games will have issues if they hard coded things badly but they will be patched.
My thoughts are go for it if you have a PC etc to sue in the mean time, they said all the top 100 PS4 games already 100% work and they are working their way down the list to make sure all of them are good to go.
In short I am not worried it's a feature they have promised and AMD is even helping them out in case their are any issues(+ it's a design feature part of the PS5).
