PS5 PlayStation 5 Sony Survey 1

From time to time, Sony will email its consumers with surveys in order to gather information on a certain subject. In the past, we've seen questionnaires regarding the DualShock 4, PSN name changes, and PSVR -- it's something every company does to gauge how users are feeling about particular products or services. According to the website Twisted Voxel, Sony's at it again, this time with a focus on the future.

PS5 PlayStation 5 Sony Survey 2

"It is a fairly simple survey that asks for a little more than a dozen questions, all concerning console or handheld gaming and how the user experiences it," claims the site. "The questions revolve around the user experience and how they utilize their console. They ask about streaming, playing games online or offline, and also have a question dedicated to owning consoles, mobile or other gaming devices."

Apparently, the email has only been sent out to European users. Here's what Twisted Voxel reports Sony says in the email itself:

Hi, we’d really like to hear your opinions on console gaming.

This helps us plan for the future of PlayStation® – and improve the experience for you and all of our players.

It won’t take up much of your time and we really do appreciate you taking part.

Many thanks

Your Sony PlayStation Team

None of us at Push Square have received such an email, and we've not seen any other evidence of the survey's existence. Of course, it could be legitimate, and if so, the thought of Sony reaching out to users regarding what will ultimately be the PS5 is quite exciting. However, unless you receive the survey yourself, we'd take this with a pinch of salt for now -- it may just be rumourmongering.

With Sony possibly questioning fans about what they want from their game consoles, what features would you like to see in PS5? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

Update: Some of you are telling us you've received and completed the survey, so this seems to be the real deal.
