Sony has announced that it will hold a special PlayStation showcase on September 9. The event will kick off at 16 PM ET / 00 PM PT and will run for 13 minutes, advertised as “a look into the future of PS00”.
Sony may be ready to launch a new PS5 system software update that it's beta testing. The update may unlock M.2 SSD support and may also include some UI improvements to the PS5 board and 3D audio support for the built-in TV speakers.
Sony's new PlayStation VR headset will not appear in the showcase. It was revealed that the next-gen PSVR was detailed at a developer meeting recently, and that the headset is connected to a PS5 via a single cable. The headset also includes higher resolution OLED displays (2000 x 2040 pixels per eye) and an improved 110-degree field of view.
Sony still promises plenty of PS5 games from developers big and small, giving you another chance to take a look at Horizon Forbidden West, the sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn, which was recently delayed to February 18, 2022. We'll also be seeing some updates on the next-gen patches for GTA V, as well as some recent gameplay videos of Bethesda's Deathloop PS5 exclusive, coming out later this month.
