PS5 PlayStation 5 Sony 1

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.
