Fans have been waiting quite some time for Sony to pull the curtain back on thePlayStation 5console itself, and it appears that they may still have some waiting left to do. A new rumor making the rounds online picks a specific date for the PS5 reveal event, which is supposedly a little over a month away.
The rumor stems from a Resetera post by GamesBeat writer Jeffrey Grub, an industry insider who has accurately leaked other gaming news in the past. According to Grub, thePS5 reveal eventis currently scheduled for Thursday, June 4, though further details are unavailable at the time of this writing.

In his post, Grub stated that the PS5 reveal event is “currently scheduled” for the June 4 date, meaning that plans could still change. While it’s unlikely that Sony will push the PS5 reveal date forward and unveil the console in May instead of June, it is possible that it could it to a later date. After all, the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has had a profound impact on the video game industry,Sony included, and so the company’s plans to unveil the PlayStation 5 may take a bit longer than expected.
Whenever Sony does reveal the PlayStation 5, fans are hoping that it will include a look at the actual console itself, the price, and the release date. However, Sony’s slow-drip approach when it comes to revealing new information about the PS5 means that fans should keep their expectations in check. Sony has so far decided to reveal one piece of information about the PS5 at a time, having shown the PS5 logo andDualSense controllerin the past, and so it may only announce or two new things at the rumored June 4 event.
It will be interesting to see where exactly Sony lands on thePS5 price and release date. The aforementioned coronavirus pandemic has thrown the world into turmoil, and there has been speculation that the next-generation consoles may be delayed as a result. There’s also speculation that next-gen consoles like the PS5 will be priced more expensive than they would have been otherwise due to the pandemic, but that remains to be seen.
In the meantime, fans will also be hoping that Sony also shows off some of thePS5 launch titlesat the rumored June 4 event, but that is also up in the air. Here’s hoping Sony itself makes an official announcement about the PS5 reveal sooner rather than later.
