Update: Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu contacted Sony about the PlayStation 5's planned October 2020 release date mentioned in a job listing, and the manufacturer stated that it's an error. "It was due to a mistake in the recruitment site, not content that was written by our company," a spokesperson said. As it stands, the PS5 is officially scheduled to release Holiday 2020.
Original Story: A translated job listing suggests that Sony may be targeting an October 2020 release date for its upcoming PlayStation 5 console. The role, which pertains to manufacturing and the purchasing of high-quality electronics, mentions that the Japanese giant’s next-gen console is “scheduled to be released in October 2020”. This is courtesy of Google Translate; we’re awaiting an official translation and will update if it differs.
Interestingly, some fans have noticed that DIRT 5’s release date is also currently pegged for October 2020, suggesting it could be a PS5 launch title. Of course, even if the translation is accurate, plans change – and there’s still the not-so insignificant matter of coronavirus to consider. Nevertheless, if there really is only five months left until release, we’d expect the platform holder to pull back the curtain on its new console fairly soon.

I'll take a new Silent Hill as a launch title for Halloween, thanks!
I wish I could have that level of confidence.
Yes, just what we all need. Another rumour. Yey...
Come on Sony, reveal something already. I really REALLY hope the promised PS5-teardown is the "special showcase" tomorrow on Summer Game Fest. Could be if they also interview Cerny the almighty.
But probably it is some crappy AC: Valhalla footage in 30fps or some indie noone heard of and will never play.
(If you didn't notice, I'm losing fate over here in the PS reveal)
At this point, there is nothing making me want to get a PS5 on day one. I have a huge back log and there are no games that have peaked my interested. May wait a year or two for the next model.
The update is no surprise. They would never announce, leak it that way 🤷♂️
well be a nice present my birthday is 30th of October. But if I'm honest November release time won't surprise me at all if and when they announce it.
@ShaiHulud i would die!! Screw cross gen, a legit next gen silent hill to kick off the system would be.... Ugh.... Just a mind meltingly amazing beginning!!
