Scheduled for the end of the year, the release of the PS5 should not suffer from the coronavirus epidemic. Sony joins the list of industry players to communicate on the virus, after Capcom, Square Enix and many others.
According to Bloomberg, Sony reported that production had resumed in two factories in China.
However, the Japanese company is well-aware that the COVID-19 will have a bad effect on their financial situation. Unlike Nintendo, Sony isn't only selling consoles and video games. While the Playstation brand shouldn't suffer from the consequences of the epidemic, the company's other activities might be hardly impacted.
At this date, it remains to be seen when the PS5 will be exactly released, as we only know that it should be available in late 2020.
In a very technical presentation originally meant for the cancelled GDC conference, lead architect Mark Cerny finally revealed the hardware details for the upcoming PlayStation 5.
