The PS5 turned over to have a massive Sept. 9 Events — What to Expect

With only a few months to go before the PS5 hits store shelves, speculation about the console's price, release date, and launch lineup is reaching a fever pitch. And if we are to believe the somewhat sketchy new leaks, we may have answers to these questions in just a few weeks.

The latest rumor surrounding the next big PS5 event came via the online forum 4chan (discovered by NotebookCheck). There, an anonymous poster claims that Sony will hold a PS5 event on September 9 to reveal the system's full features, new gameplay footage, and announce the console's price and release date.

According to the post, Sony will show off the full user interface of the PS5 and also reveal that the PlayStation Now subscription service will be coming to more regions with a "new marketing approach." The user also said that we will see new gameplay footage of already announced titles such as "Spider-Man: Miles Morales," "Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart," "Gran Turismo 7," "Demon's Souls ( Demon's Souls.

The tipster also claims that there will be a multiplayer reveal for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, new information about Horizon: Forbidden West, and a special announcement about a horror game exclusive to PS5.

While anonymous web forum "leaks" like this should always be taken with a grain of salt, there is every reason to believe that Sony could be holding a major event around September 9.

This date coincides with Activision's planned multiplayer reveal of the new "Call of Duty" game, so it is possible that the footage will be unveiled at the PS5 event. Also, according to several sources, September 9 could be the start of PS5 pre-orders, so it makes sense for Sony to start selling the console after such a big announcement.

Whether or not the PS5's September 9 event is real, it seems only a matter of time before Sony reveals the console's price and release date and starts taking orders. Last week, Sony launched a pre-order site for the PS5, allowing people to register for a chance to be among the first to purchase the new console. Most rumors have it launching in mid-November, just a few days away from the final release date.

Both the PS5 and Xbox Series X will launch this holiday season, promising exciting features like instant SSD loading, immersive ray-traced graphics, and smooth 4K gaming at 60 frames per second. And you may not have to wait too long for the chance to purchase one of them.
