Sony PlayStation 5 gaming console has been officially unveiled
The latest gaming console comes with different design and a lot many accessories.
Sony has not revealed the pricing of the PlayStation 5 but it may launch this year.
Sony PlayStation 5 was officially unveiled at the company's event on early Friday. The next-generation gaming console from Sony is a big departure from the immensely-popular PlayStation 4 and its different variants. The most visible change is the design, which includes a tower-shaped console clad with two white surfaces on either side. At its reveal event, Sony showcased the PlayStation 5 in two variants - the one with a Blu-ray disc player and the one without it. The pricing and availability of the PlayStation 5 have not been announced yet.
The major takeaway from Sony's event was how the PlayStation will stand out from its predecessors, and, of course, Microsoft's Xbox Series X. Sony has gone for a monolithic design with the white flaps covering it from two sides, which also help in heat dissipation on the console. The gaming console stands vertically, much like the Xbox Series X but has a more pronounced design. But Sony said it can be placed horizontally below a television set or a monitor, as well.

Sony has given gamers a first look at the design of its next console as well as some of the titles it will play.
The PlayStation 5 has a black core surrounded by curved white edging, and a blue glow.
Two sequels to bestselling PS4 releases were among the standout games announcements - Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and Horizon: Forbidden West.
Sony's machine will launch alongside Microsoft's rival Xbox Series X before the end of the year.
"While there's still a lot of unanswered questions about the PS5, namely price and release date, I think Sony did exactly what they needed to with this reveal event," commented Laura Kate Dale, a freelance games critic.
"It showed off an hour of games, mixing sequels to popular titles, and new franchises from its biggest first-party studios, for a solid hour.
"People on Twitter are very split on whether they like or hate the look of the box, but overall Sony spent an hour getting people excited."
So many people remarked that the console looked like a "wi-fi router", that the term trended on Twitter shortly after the event.
