The day that almost all PlayStation fabs have been waiting for has finally arrived as Sony will be launching its next-gen gaming console on 16th September. Announced via its [official blog](https://blog.playstation.com/2020/09/12/watch-live-playstation-5-showcase-on-wednesday-september-16/), Sony will be hosting the event from 1:00 PM PDT and they have written:

*“Before PlayStation 5 launches this holiday, we wanted to give you one more look at some of the great games coming to PS5 at launch (and beyond!).*

*Our next digital showcase will weigh in at around 40 minutes, and feature updates on the latest titles from Worldwide Studios and our world-class development partners.”*

Apart from announcing the game that are coming to PS5, we could expect Sony to announce the pricing of the next-gen consoles as Microsoft has amazed the world with both of its Xbox Series S and Series X at an attractive pricing of [$299 and $499](https://technosports.co.in/2020/09/09/official-microsoft-xbox-series-x-to-cost-499-the-series-s-will-cost-299/). So, Sony can actually take a price cut to counter Xbox somehow and bring more exclusive games as well.

Already, Sony have [given a chance](https://technosports.co.in/2020/08/27/sony-starts-inviting-ps5-pre-orders/) to their existing users with ‘US-based address’ to pre-order and reserve a PS5 console as Sony claims there’s a limited quantity of PS5 available. However, it will be interesting to see how Sony counters Microsoft’s lucrative[Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox All Access program](https://technosports.co.in/2020/09/10/now-with-xbox-game-pass-ultimate-get-ea-play-for-free-xbox-all-access-now-starting-at-24-99-a-month/) on 16th September.
