Sony has announced the PlayStation 5 ($499) and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition ($399) will release on November 12. Pre-orders start as early as tomorrow at select retailers.
The $499 model includes an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive. Other than that, both models use the same custom processor with integrated CPU and GPU for high-fidelity visuals, including 4K graphics and ray-tracing support, as well as the same ultra-high-speed SSD with integrated I/O for lightning-fast loading. PlayStation 5’s 3D audio and the DualSense Wireless Controller will also provide the same heightened sense of immersion on all PS5s.
