Sony has announced that PlayStation 5 will be released during holiday 2020.
Revealed in a PlayStation blog post, the console is (as you might have expected) officially called PlayStation 5. The blog also reveals that the console’s controller will feature two key new innovations – haptic feedback (replacing the traditional rumble) and adaptive triggers. It will also feature USB C charging, a higher-capacity battery and is a little heavier than its predecessor (but still lighter than an Xbox One controller with batteries inside).
Wired got more detail from system architect Mark Cerny. Haptic feedback will come through “highly programmable voice-coil actuators located in the left and right grips of the controller”, which offer more tactile responses than the DualShock 4’s rumble motors currently can. Along with an improved speaker, Wired reports that a modified version of Astro Bot Rescue Mission offers realistic feelings for the surfaces the player-character runs across, with soggy mud and bouncy wooden bridges being communicated through the feeling of the controller.
