If you're after a PlayStation 5 pre-order in the UK, then I have some good news for you: Game will have limited stocks of console pre-orders sometime tomorrow morning, on Friday 25th September. This solely digital console will boast the same specs as the standard PS5, just in a more streamlined package. The PlayStation 5 will be going up against Microsoft's Xbox Series X (formerly known as Project Scarlett) and Google's Stadia The Google Stadia will be launching first but has no previous pedigree in the gaming space.
It is expected that FIFA 21 will arrive on the next generation of consoles before the holiday period and is likely to be launched close to the release dates for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. There's also something to be said for the PS5 being the polar opposite of the Xbox Series X. It would have been easy to follow the signature black console design, but Sony's brave move to stand out means there's now certainly no confusing them.
The PlayStation 5 Digital Edition is slimmer still, and its slenderness and symmetry make it undeniably the better looking of the two consoles, with the standard version's disc drive looking a little awkward, particularly when they're stood side-by-side.
Takeuchi even claims that players will no longer have to invest in expensive surround sound set-ups: "Now, just putting on a headset, they can get a full 3D audio experience." We wouldn't be so sure of that, but it seems gaming headsets are going to get a serious upgrade.
And since (for me at least) Miles was one of the main reasons to get a PS5 at launch but you get a free upgrade you may as well buy it cheaper on PS4, let the ebay nonsense die down, then get a PS5 early next year and have a free upgrade waiting. The paid upgrade offer is eligible both if you're upgrading from PS4 to PS5 and if you buy the standard Miles Morales edition on PS5,” Sony said in a follow-up statement.
In contrast, only 26.6 per cent ps5 preorder of gamers said that the Xbox Series X was their most anticipated next-gen console, giving the PS5 a resounding victory. These include an SSD for fast loading, ray-tracing , a built-in 4K Blu-ray player, and backwards compatibility with thousands of titles in the PS4's game library.
