The wait
is over! After months of speculation, Sony Interactive today, June 11, released

In a
live-stream, the company said revealed that the next-generation gaming console
will be available later this year. The launch comes seven years after the PS4 arrived
is expected to compete with Microsoft’s coming Xbox Series X.
Highlighting
the console’s features are improved visuals and customised hard drive that will
reduce load times.
However,
what has generated the greatest chatter is the PS5’s gaming library which will
launch with a slew of exclusive new titles.
Among the
games being touted are Project Athia (fron the same developers who gave us
Final Fantasy 15), Destruction Allstars, Ghostwire: Tokyo, Hitman 3 and
Godfall.

Spider-Man game will also sling its webbed way to the console with an
Afro-Latino teenager, Miles Morales, as the title character.
