Today marks the beginning of a week-long PlayStation VR promotion. Just announced by Sony, said promotion will feature VR game updates, a big PlayStation Store sale, and more. But whatever you do, don't expect any PS5 news as part of this spotlight.
"And as mentioned, this is all about the games. So to manage expectations, there’ll be no PS5-related news," reads the PlayStation Blog.
Does that mean we could still get PS5 news outside of the PSVR spotlight? We suppose so, but we'd still advise against getting your hopes up. Recent rumours have suggested that Sony has a PS5 event planned for the first half of September, but honestly, who knows at this point.
Do you think it's smart of Sony to kick off a week of PSVR content when we're still waiting for crucial PS5 news? Miss the mark in the comments section below.

No date no price..........makes Jack a dull boy.
I think next week is likely tbh
This is getting really frustrating. The mysterious aura they built around the PS5 was cute for a while, but Sony needs to s*** or get off the pot at this point.
Nothing against VR, and im sure the sale will be great but this just seems not the right time to focus on VR news this week, its PlayStations 25th Birthday this week, they would be seriously foolish not to capitalise on that with some new PS5 info
Oh come on!
Good grief.
Please calm down. Sony are still busy winning this gen and as psvr will continue into next gen, it is an important slice of the ps pie. As long as we know before ps5 is on the shelves, it doesnt matter.
It's the way of the times nowadays.
Nintendo are announcing games two weeks before they come out now.
I reckon PS5 will be the must have Xmas item followed by Xbox.
PS5 VR will be announced next year after the console launch hype has settles.
You'll find out the price when you go buy it at the store
i am curious as to why sony seems to almost be coming up with reasons to NOT talk about the ps5 . i suppose no news next week as well due to a retrospective on the vita? LOL.
oh well, i'll hopefully be laughing about all of this while playing demon souls on my new ps5 in november.
Next generation price and release date should be revealed at this month. it will be unwise to be revealed at October
The most underwhelming build up to a next generation in my life.
Constant speculation with no delivery, both parties too nervous to release their enormous price tags onto the public, and in my honest opinion a real lacklustre launch.
Spiderman Miles Morales is being touted as a full game, but we all know it is more a Lost Legacy style spin off rather than a full on sequel.
2021-22 looks like the smarter time for someone to buy a PS5 as the price will be marginally lower, games will be cheaper, and there will actually be more reasons to shell out £550+
Maybe psvr2? Be great.
You slags need to learn to be more patient
@kyleforrester87 Patient Slags Very Rewarding
If this is what gaming life has become without E3, give me E3. 2020 should have been an exciting year. Nearly 1/4 through the ninth month, and it's been anything but.
@DonJorginho
How long did it take for the PS4 to get a discount? I wouldn't hold your breath about any price cuts pre-2023 at the earliest.
Can't say I'm surprised, with Nintendo doing the full Switch reveal only 7 weeks before launch (January 13th 2017 event with March 3rd 2017 launch), Sony will likely wait until either Microsoft reveals Series X and Series S price or at the point Sony has to reveal price for retailer reasons.
My predictions are Series X and Series S price revealed in late September and PS5 price revealed in early October.
@Loftimus Winning a gen is such a nonsense way of looking at these things. Who gives a crap what company sells more, at the end of the day every console and company has good games and bad games. I’ll play the good games on whatever console I can get them on.
@AdamNovice
I thought July was likely tbh.
Breaking news: there is no news. I love this article!
@RBMango It does feels like they are going to make a press release mid-December to say "oops, by the way, we released the ps5 6 weeks ago, please rush to the nearest store to buy it for Christmas. Sorry we forgot to let you know. Also we still don't know the price or what's inside"
@Loftimus How are you getting Xbox fanboy from that comment? It's fairly impartial. "Both consoles have some good games".
I'm just... speechless.
I was buying these rumors speaking about the date of next wednesday. Cause I was so sure that it couldn't be delayed anymore.
I... I don't...
Oh, boy, I'm feeling so tired right now.
Ok let's fight in the comments while we wait 🥳
PS5 Delayed until 2021...
Then theres me over here like, wooo vr sale!! Coool, ahh man! Cant wait for ps5! Gonna be so coool!! Wooooo
My next generation high peeked about two weeks ago, now it’s levelled off and chilled.
My PS4 Pro has, GOT, crash coming soon, assassins creed, cyber punk soon, maybe COD. Plenty to be playing. And of course even if you get a PS5 none of those games and others have said PS5 next gen patch on day one. Like cyberpunk patch is next year sometime.
Actually I’m starting to prefer PS5 2021 with Spider-Man, Ratchet and Clank, Demon Souls all on release day, giving us something next generation games to really looked forward to done correctly.
@lacerz hence the word marginally mate, I'm guessing no more than 30 pound but if you think about it that's another game or two.
Plot twist : PS5 doesn't even exist.
@Orpheus79V i've been around these streets long enough to smell an undercover bot. If he wasn't a bot, my comment would have been left alone. plus, it's complete nonsense. Competition is what has pushed this industry to thrive and will continue doing so.
@nessisonett "war" brings innovation. Its good to make companies fight for your money. Everybody will win if they are both topping each other all the time = console wars are good!
P.s i've had every xbox minus the one x, although i enjoyed my time on the original and 360, this gen is a total loss for ms.
I can't get upset anymore with everything going on . We've already seen the game-play , specs , and the Ps5 in the plastic . Most people saved up by now knowing pricing is in the neighborhood of 400-500. After price is announced then what? We wait more plus we already have an idea of Ps5 release date. November 1st - 20th ; I would say 20th. Just be patient to those that can't wait for price and date.
@Loftimus Nintendo have been out of the competition since the GameCube. They’re fine.
@nessisonett no need for that... Must have hit a nerve, eh?
@nessisonett nintendo never left. They are sitting happily in second place.
@Loftimus Being aggressive? You called me an Xbot for literally saying that both consoles have games. I’m sick of people like you clogging this site like a great big jobbie of negativity.
@nessisonett i'm sure you'll live.
@nessisonett who said xbox didnt have games?
@Loftimus
Xbox has no games.
No negativity. Fact.
But you can get all their lack of games Day One with Game Pass.
And you can binge watch all of Game of Thrones in one month for $14.99.
They said it wont just happen, we will know in advance of when preorders go live!!!
Sony never said anything about the 9th September being the price/preorder date.
Let me guess.......... The Playstation released on the 29th of September 1995......... that will be the next reported ANNIVERSARY date that preorders go live??? LOL
There not going to announce preorders till next month, Sony will want to know that they have enough consoles before they pull the trigger.
It no good Sony announcing preorders then the factorys have to close because theres a Covid spike and no consoles are being produced, then everybody gets an Email saying sorry your preorder has been cancled?
Sad to hear but we still have 2 more months left, plenty of time for an announcement to rear it's head.
