Sony has finally unveiled given fans a sneak peek at the PlayStation 5 console, ahead of its release this Christmas.
The gaming giant hosted a ‘Future of Gaming’ event, during which it gave fans a glimpse at many of the games in store for the PS5.
Speaking at the event, Jim Ryan, CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, said: “It’s now just over a year since we started sharing technical details about the PlayStation 5.
“But today’s the day we’ve been waiting for for years - when we get to show you some of the games that demonstrate our belief that PlayStation 5 marks the biggest generational transition our industry has yet seen."
The console features a black and white design, with a black middle section and white panels on either side.
It's lit by subtle blue lights, and features a combination of angular and rounded shapes.
The design matches the DualSense controller well - which was unveiled to the public ahead of today's launch.
Before today, Sony was yet to reveal the PS5 console itself.
The PlayStation 5 is due to be released at the end of this year, around the same time as rival Microsoft's own next-generation console, the Xbox Series X.
The two releases will be a pivotal moment for the gaming industry - Sony and Microsoft are market leaders and their next generation of consoles will set the tone for gaming habits for years to come.
