-The PS5 will certainly be a step up from current-gen consoles. Specs include an NVMe SSD for super-fast load times, ray-tracing support, a built-in 4K Blu-ray player, and backwards compatibility with thousands of titles in the PS4's game library.
Sony today finally provided a glimpse of its next-generation PS5 game console.
The PlayStation 5 will actually be sold in two forms: a standard version; and a "digital edition" that nixes the 4K Blu-ray disc player.
Like the PS5 controller, the console also has a two-color scheme, making the hardware look a bit like a Star Wars stormtrooper.

Unfortunately, no pricing details were given. But the digital edition of the console indicates consumers will be able to buy a PS5 at a cheaper price, as long as they donât need the Blu-ray player.
