As if that wasn't enough the controller changed too and now gives a much more immersive experience thanks to technologies such as Haptic Feedback or Adaptive Triggers. There are rumours of a PSVR successor that would work with the PS5 too, nonetheless as of launching date the console will work with current PSVR.

The PS5 will arrive in two models confirmed by Sony: PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition. Although the brand did not reveal more details of the difference between these two, it is presumed that the second could be a version that does not support physical video games and only downloads over the internet.

After a cost list leak of the two PlayStation 5 and their accessories separately, a well-known analyst points out that Sony will reveal the real price of its console in August, precisely when Microsoft can show the world its new video game machine: Xbox Lockhart .

Some details that we can see in the model on one of its sides and front, the Leviathan ax that Kratos and the logo of the franchise. Despite being unofficial projects, and that some things may be disproportionate, they certainly give us an idea of how things come in the future, we hope not at a very extravagant value.
More competition. Sony wants to give more purchase options through PS5. This will have a cheaper version, which is called ‘Digital Edition’ for not having a disk reader; However, it would not be the only one in the market, since Microsoft, its most important rival, also plans to launch its own platform at a lower price for next August.
