With all of this being said, where there’s thunder, there’s lightning and when there’s no official word from a gaming publisher, there are inevitable info leaks. Within the last few months alone, there has beena multitude of online leaksregarding the PS5. This most recent one comes from a game shop in Canada.
The game shop in question, Play N Trade Vancouver, now has the PS5 listed on their website for pre-order. The price on the website is CAD$559, which is roughly USD$397. They also specify that the PS5 will release during the final quarter of 2020, which aligns with what Sony has been saying regarding the release date. This price range is wildly different from the otherleaked price from a Danish retailer.
With so much online speculation regarding the PS5 and with Sony holding so much information close to the chest, there’s not really any way to verify whether or not any of these leaks are real. Not to mention the fact that Sony has been taking its sweet time revealing new information on the console. They revealed thePS5 specsduring mid-March, but there’s still no definitive information on the console design or how much it costs or when it will officially release.
Regardless, this ultimately leaves the gaming community with a lot to look forward to. In the coming months especially, there should be plenty of new information regarding the console, as well as new PS5 exclusive titles for players to enjoy. With so manynew hardware featuresalready revealed, the PlayStation 5 is looking better day by day. Though, once again, fans will just have to wait until Sony decides to share more information.
ThePlayStation 5is set to launch during the Holiday of 2020.
