It’s one of the most highly anticipated gaming consoles of the year, and now the PlayStation 5 launch date and price may have finally been unveiled.
Respected leaker @IronManPS5 has leaked what he claims is the launch date and prices of both new PlayStation 5 consoles online.
He tweeted: “Sony Interactive Entertainment will launch PlayStation 5 in several countries in the holiday season of 2020 and will make PlayStation 5 available in North America and Europe on November 20, 2020 at a recommended retail price (RRP) of $499, €499 and £449.”
@IronManPS5 added that the PlayStation 5 Digital, the version without a disc drive, will be around £100 cheaper, launching at $399, €399 and £349.
In terms of accessories, the leaker indicates that the DualSense controller will cost $59.99, €59.99 and £54.99, while the controller charging station will cost $29.99, €29.99 and £24.99.
The PlayStation 5 HD Camera is also tipped to launch at $59.99, €59.99 and £54.99.
However, the most expensive accessory is expected to be the Pulse 3D Wireless Headset.
@IronManPS5 added: “Sony Interactive Entertainment will launch a Pulse 3D Wireless Headset for PlayStation 5 in several countries in the holiday season of 2020 and will make the headset available in North America and Europe on November 20, 2020 at an RRP of $159, €179 and £129.”
While the leak indicates that the console will be available in North America and Europe from November 20, it’s good news for PS5 fans in Japan.
The leak indicates that the console will launch in Japan a week earlier, on November 14.
As always, these are just rumours, and Sony is yet to confirm anything.
