PlayStation 5: The 4 features that matter (and 4 that don’t)

Sony is slowly building a public vision for the PlayStation 5. In an interview about the next-gen console with Wired today, it confirmed the PS5 name and its holiday 2020 release window. Sony Interactive Entertainment president Jim Ryan and PS5 architect Mark Cerny also gave some new details about the system’s features.

PS5’s previously revealed solid-state storage drive (SSD) will load games faster, but it may also save you space compared to the old spinning-platter hard disk drives. Sony is also including 4K UltraHD Blu-ray disc playback and a controller with adjustable triggers.
