Last night Sony announced that its PlayStation 5 event will now take place this coming Thursday, June 11, 2020, at 10 PM if you’re in SA. This new date was first revealed via a Twitch ad and then of course spread over to social media. Originally the reveal event was set for June 4, 2020, but was delayed in response to the global #BlackLivesMatter protests that followed the death of George Floyd. The PlayStation 5 console is still scheduled to be released during Holiday this year and Sony also stated that the yet unknown price of the next-gen console has not been affected by the on-going pandemic either.
