Both Sony and Microsoft are preparing to launch some powerful next-gen products. The launch event for both the consoles are over. However, no details on the pricing has been revealed as of yet. Sony needs to be on high alert to match with Microsoft’s plan on that front.

Next PlayStation 5 date revealed?

Note: Take this with a pinch of salt as it is just a rumor and nothing has been confirmed as of yet. PlayStation Lifestyle by Mandatory on Twitter were one to share the rumor. As the insider has been right in the past, fans could hope.

The Chief editor of 4news too has shared the rumor on his Twitter handle. He adds the date along with what he predicts to be the timing.

According to Roberto Serrano, the next event will take place on August 6th 2020 – 1pm PT | 4pm ET | 10pm CEST. The event can be watched through PlayStation official site or their YouTube or Twitch channel. With multiple sources hinting at the same news, Sony could end up pulling of a surprise for the fans after all.

What to expect of the event?

For starters, it would be nice to know when the new console will be up for pre-order. Recently, Eric Lempel did state that they’d let the fans know when the date will be, however, a bit more clear cut detail would be huge.

“So, I think it’s safe to say to all of the viewers, we’ll let you know when pre-orders will happen. It’s not gonna happen with a minute’s notice. We’re going to at some point let you know when you can preorder a PlayStation 5.”, Eric Lempel said.

The event could also shed some lights on the pricing of the console. Every fan is aware that there’d be two variants; one digital and one with a physical drive. But, the pricing for both variants has only been rumored. Many expect it to be around $500, but one can never tell.

With Microsoft giving a tough time with the Xbox Series X, Sony should come in strong with the price. We could know more about this if the event does happen in the rumored date.
