Hooray! More video games to play!
During the CES 2020 (International Consumer Electronics Show) conference, Sony had just only given a taste of what’s next to come for them.
The upcoming PS5 console is said to have the following – an optical drive capable of 4K Blu-Rays still having the support for HDR, an Ultra High-Speed SSD (Bespoke 8-core AMD chipset), 3D audio and support 8K TVs, the ability to play previous PS4 games, and if you have any physical copies of your PlayStation games, you can still use them on the PS5.
However, countless memes have been made with regards to their ‘new’ logo!
