The Playstation 5 event, originally set for 4 June, has been confirmed for 11 June, after being postponed in support of the Black Lives Matters protests. The update was given via the Playstation Blog by Sid Shuman, Senior Director, SIE Content Communications.
Hi all – thanks for being patient and understanding while we rescheduled this PS5 event for Thursday, June 11 at 1pm Pacific Time / 9pm BST. We needed to step aside so key voices could be heard during this historic and important time.
Now that the event is confirmed for June 11, I wanted to add that this pre-taped program will be broadcast at 1080p and 30 frames per second. This eased the show’s production process during a time when many of our team and developers are working from home. The games you’ll see on Thursday will look even better when you play them on PS5 with a 4K TV, as you’d expect.
It’s also best if you watch while wearing headphones, if you can — there’s some cool audio work in the show, and it might be harder to appreciate if it’s pumped through your phone or laptop speakers.
The event, set to run for “just over an hour”, will be available to watch on YouTube, Twitch and the Playstation site itself.
