PlayStation 5 update: Price, release date, specs, and all that you must know
A patent uncovered by Dutch tech publication LetsGoDigital reveals that Sony is experimenting with inside out tracking and new controllers for a future iteration of its PlayStation VR HMD.
Sony has revealed the launch price, release date, key specifications and list of titles for its next generation gaming consoles: PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition. With the new generation of consoles, we expect to see improved graphics, support for higher refresh rates, smoothness and more. All the promises of the new PlayStation 5 series will deliver. Today we will take a look at everything we know about the new PlayStation 5 Series.
Sony is gearing up for the launch of the next PlayStation console, which is due to launch in less than two months. The new console is supposed to support the company's PSVR headset, but there have long been rumors of a new PlayStation headset coming down the pipeline. The newly published patent gives even more fuel to that rumor.
Playstation 5: Price and Availability Sony has revealed that it will be selling two variants of its PS5 console this year, with the normal PS5 priced at $ 499 (about Rs 37,000) and the digital version at $ 399 (about Rs 29,500). The company is yet to disclose Indian prices. The only difference in terms of specifications or look, both variants include disc drives on the regular PS5 and none on the digital version.
Even if the Blu-ray Disc drive does not cost as much as $ 100, which is the price difference between the two versions, it certainly makes sense, as it cuts Sony to the middleman selling discs and a large portion Will help keep. Profits for them from the sale of games using the PlayStation Store.
The PS5 will be released on November 12 in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Mexico and South Korea. Most of the rest of the world will be able to purchase the device from November 19.
Additionally, DualSense controllers are priced at $69.99 (approximately Rs 5,000) per piece and the charging dock is priced at $29.99 (approximately Rs 2,200).

PlayStation 5: DualDisk Controller
Sony has finally moved away from its DualShock Controller technology, which came back in 1997. In addition to the name and technology changes, the company has also changed the design of the controller, while retaining the same basic layout as its predecessors. The controller is now wide, pointer and double tone.
The main change in the controller is the removal of conventional rumble motors, which have been replaced with hepatic feedback motors. The company claims that it will provide players with different levels of feedback based on what is happening in the game. The controller will also come with an adaptive trigger, capable of simulating various resistances. For example, adding extra stress to the trigger when pulling the trigger in Call of Duty games during shooting.
PlayStation 5: Backward Compatibility Sony has announced that 99 percent of PS4 games have been tested to work on the PS5. It is not started how digital PS4 games will work on the PS5, however, we expect them to work on the PS4.
PlayStation 5: Games Sony has announced six first-party titles, which will be made available day 1, November 12. These include Astro’s Playroom, Demon’s Souls, Destruction All Stars, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition and Sackboy: A Big Adventure. Horizon Forbidden West will be launching later.
Apart from the first-party titles, a number of third-party titles will also be launching on day 1. These include Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition, Fortnite, Just Dance 2021, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Observer: System Redux.
There are a lot of games like Gran Turismo 7, Hogwarts Legacy, Final Fantasy XVI, Resident Evil Village and Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach, to look forward too.
The patent document also mentions a mysterious "HMD2," which includes at least one internal camera for tracking the controllers. Sony is busy with the launch of a new console, so we doubt that we'll see a new PSVR headset this year, but it's good to know the company is still working on VR internally.
