Sony may not have shown the Playstation 5 gaming console, or even a shadow of the controller in the livestream today. But, at least we got a deep dive from Mark Cerny (Lead System Architect of the PS4) himself, on what the Playstation 5 is made of and what features we could expect from it. He’s worked on popular gaming titles like God of War 3, Spider-Man, and even Death Stranding.

Sony has mentioned that almost all of the top 100 most popular games from the Playstation 4 era will be backwards compatible. That means not all games will be backwards compatible, only the most played game titles.

The Sony Playstation 5 is scheduled for a holiday season release in 2020. Stay tuned to The AXO for when that happens.
