ThePlayStation 5has long been talked about in its competition against the Xbox Series X as a tentative highpoint of late 2020, despite a running theory that the console could bedelayed due to the novel coronavirus. To the contrary, the console is apparently on schedule to hit the release window it has long been rumored to have.
According to the PlayStation 5’s webpage on PlayStation’s website, a statement confirms that the PlayStation 5 will be launching in the holiday season of 2020. This comes several months after the suggestion that it would bereleasing before or during 2020’s holiday season. Now, the statement has been reenforced by an update on the PS5’s webpage.

However, hopefully it will be made all worthwhile come 2020’s holiday season.
