PlayStation 5 event: Every announcement from the event (updated live)

The PlayStation 5 event is here, and we’ve got updates on everything you need to know.

Sony and PlayStation are promising a look at the future of gaming, and the day has finally come where we get to see into the crystal ball. The long-await PlayStation 5 event (which was postponed for a few days) is finally on for today, and there’s lots of excitement about what’s to come.

Already, Sony has teased what to expect from the next-gen console. Without getting into the nitty-gritty of all the specs, Sony is promising a much faster console than before. Graphics in these next-gen games will also get a major update that will look absolutely stunning (think the first look at Unreal Engine 5.)  And (while it can’t be experienced in the PS5 event), there will be more game/player immersion, which PlayStation says includes “haptic feedback, adaptive triggers and 3D Audio technology.”

Here’s what Jim Ryan, president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, had to say over on the PlayStation Blog:

"This digital showcase will run for a bit more than an hour and, for the first time, we will all be together virtually experiencing the excitement together. A lack of physical events has given us an amazing opportunity to think differently and bring you on this journey with us, and hopefully, closer than ever before. This is part of our series of PS5 updates and, rest assured, after next week’s showcase, we will still have much to share with you."

Follow along with us today as we update you on the PlayStation 5 event’s biggest announcements and more.

The long-beloved Ratched and Clank is getting a new game. Plus, there’s a new female Ratchet-looking character. The game is called Ratched and Clank: Rift Apart. Dimensional rifts will be used to leap from planets instantly. There’s ton of alien life, and his arsenal is better than ever.

Looking for a game that’s a cross between bumper cars, Rocket League and NASCAR? Destruction Allstars is the game for you.
