What to expect from the PS5 Showcase stream
For the September 16 PS5 Showcase, fans can expect to see a focus on many of the games that are scheduled to be released on the next-gen console.
“Before PlayStation 5 launches this holiday, we wanted to give you one more look at some of the great games coming to PS5 at launch (and beyond!),” Sony announced in their September 12 post.
While the exact games on display have not yet been confirmed, upcoming games like Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart are expected to feature in this showcase with titles such as Horizon Forbidden West, Gran Turismo 7, and more.
Many fans are still curious about how the Playstation 5 will be priced, however, it is unclear if Sony will share any information on the console’s costs but, with games being the primary focus of the September 16 stream, it is quite unlikely to be the case.
