The Sony PlayStation has now been a part of gaming and entertainment life for a quarter of a century, with the first units arriving in lounges and bedrooms around the world in 1994.
Of course, the console has been through a lot of changes and generations since then – the most recent edition of the popular console was the PS4 which launched in 2013, with the PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro variants joining the PlayStation family in 2016.
But with nearly seven years having passed since the PS4, it’s no wonder that gaming fans could barely contain their excitement at the prospect of a completely new console in 2020, the hugely anticipated PS5 that is finally upon us.
But what do we know about the brand new PlayStation, when will it be available to buy in the UK and when did it come out across the world, how much will it cost and what games can we expect to be available on it over the coming months.
There are two PS5 consoles available: the PS5 with a 4K Blu-ray disc drive and a disc-less PS5 Digital Edition- much like Xbox are doing with the Xbox Series X and S.
PS5 pre-orders are also now open in the UK, though stock flew off the shelves (or is that baskets?) so fast it appears out of stock most places. More are expected on November 19th here but these will be online only.
Amazon appear to be first up to confirm the new stock saying that they will have more to sell on the 19th November at midday. They have also mentioned that the stock is limited so if you plan to try and get one, get ready to be part of yet another mad rush.
All things considered, the PS5 is a real crowd-pleaser with features such as 4K gaming, ray tracing, 3D audio and the biggest controller upgrade yet – while reportedly only set to last five years, this could be the most exciting console generation yet.
Below, we share everything we know so far around the PS5 UK release date, cost, confirmed games, specs and the overall PS5 console design.
