Sony to hold PlayStation 5 Showcase on Sept. 16

Sony's gearing up for a 40-minute PlayStation 5 Showcase event on Wednesday, September 16. The "digital showcase" will feature updates from first-party Sony game studios and third-party partners to give us "one more look at some of the great games coming to PS5 at launch (and beyond!)." The Verge speculates that Sony might also reveal the release date and price for the PS5, given that Microsoft has already announced the pricing of the Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X after the Series S got leaked.

The PS5 pre-registration for preorders went up last month, but Sony hasn't revealed the date for official preorders or pricing and release date. If you want to check out Sony's next-gen console, you can tune in to the event happening at 4 pm ET / 1 pm PT on Sony's Twitch or YouTube.
