The company in a release said that the two models will provide identical gaming experience to users despite the noticeable changes in the design.
“With PlayStation 5, we are making a significant leap to deliver a truly new generation of transformative play experiences that will redefine expectations for what games can be,” Jim Ryan, president and CEO of SIE, said in the release. “Worlds will be richer and more beautiful, they’ll captivate your senses in ways you didn’t think possible, and you’ll be able to experience them much more seamlessly, with lightning fast loading.”
The company did not provide a launch date nor the price of the PS5 editions, however, SIE said that more details about the PS5 ecosystem will be available closer to the launch.
“Today’s showcase is just a glimpse of what’s to come in the next generation,” Ryan said in the release.
In March, the company said that the PS5 gaming consoles will be powered by an eight core 64-bit AMD Ryzen Zen 2 platform with a variable frequency up to 3.5Ghz. The consoles will be equipped with the AMD Radeon RDNA 2-based graphics engine with a variable frequency up to 2.23 Ghz. Further, the PS5 will have an 16GB GDDR6 RAM and a variant with at least 825GB of SSD storage.
