Sony held the next event dedicated to the PlayStation 5 gaming prefix. During the presentation, the company called the console to enter the market and opened its cost.

According to The Verge , PlayStation 5 will be on sale on November 12 in the USA, Japan, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and South Korea, and in other countries, including Russia, the prefix sales will begin on November 19. The exception will be China - the exact start of the PlayStation 5 sales in the Middle Kingdom will be announced later. It will be possible to buy a console for $ 500 for a version with a drive, while the Digital Edition version will be sold for $ 400. In Russia, these prices will amount to 47 thousand and 38 thousand rubles. Thus, the new Sony prefix will cost customers more than the new XBOX console of Microsoft (this prefix will be released on November 10 at a price of $ 300 for the basic version of Series S and the same $ 500 for the advanced Series X).

The PlayStation 5 will be released by GTA V Remastered, Hitman III, NBA 2K21, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart, Stray, Pragmata, Resident Evil 8, Destruction All Stars, Destructions, Godfall, Gran Turismo 7 and many other games. The console will also receive reverse compatibility with many games for the PlayStation 4. So, Sony announced that PS Plus subscribers who buy a new console will receive a collection of iconic games for PlayStation 4 for free. In particular, this collection will include Uncharted 4, The Last of us Remastered, Detroit: Become Human and other games, writes TJ .

Recall that the PlayStation 5 design is noticeably different from the design of the prefix of the previous generation. The game console has lost even lines, instead of them now wavy edges and rounding. The company opened the main technical characteristics of the prefix a few months ago. The prefix received an 8-core AMD Zen 2 processor with a frequency of up to 3.5 GHz and the graphic core of AMD RDNA 2 with a capacity of 10.28 teraflops. The console has 16 GB GDDR6 RAM, the speed of which reaches 448 GB/C. Also, the device was equipped with an 825 GB SSD drive.

The Sony PlayStation 5 supply set includesthe DualSense wireless game controller in April. It is based on the Dualshock 4 controller, which was released in 2013 and received positive user reviews. At the same time, the Dualsense model differs from the predecessor, both externally and in characteristics: the design of the controller has become more futuristic, and its functionality was expanded. So, engineers improved the vibration, and now players can feel that the car that they drive in the game travels through the mud. The company also added adaptive triggers to the L2 and R2 buttons so that the player can feel the voltage from the actions performed, for example, when stretching onions during shooting. In addition, the DualSense controller has less weight and can work longer without recharging.
