Sony will launch its next-generation gaming console PS5 along with the PS5 Digital edition in November, the company announced at a PS5 showcase event on Wednesday.
Sony is offering two PS5 console options at launch, a digital-only experience along with disc-based gaming.
Both PS5 models will have the same specs. The PS5 is powered by the octa-core x86-64-AMD Ryzen ‘Zen 2’ CPU that clocks up to 3.5 GHz. The GPU is an AMD Radeon RDNA 2-based graphics engine with ray tracing acceleration which clocks up to 2.23 GHz (10.3 TFLOPS). The console comes with a GDDR6 16GB RAM and 825GB SSD.
It is equipped with the ‘Tempest’ 3D AudioTech. It has two USB Type-A ports and two USB Type-C ports for connectivity.

At launch, the consoles will come with titles including a new New God of War title by Santa Monica Studio along with games such as Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition (Capcom), Final Fantasy XVI (Square Enix), Five Nights at Freddy’s Security Breach (Steel Wool Studios and ScottGames) and Hogwarts Legacy (Warner Bros.
