Hello, there fellow games, what’s better than new? Nothing, new gives us hope and sets the tone for the future – but ultimately, it gives us a beefy PS5, Mark Cerny, PlayStation lead system architect announced on March 18th the specs of the PS5 which will be released during the holiday season 2020.
The big highlight here is the move to SSD, giving developers the ability to develop more massive open worlds, the system memory used more effectively and boot times faster than Sonic the hedgehog on Speed.
