PlayStation 5

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and for prospective PlayStation 5 owners that may be entirely true.

Players across much of the world are now picking up their new PlayStation 5 consoles, and Polyphony Digital has offered some timely guidance on using the new machines with Gran Turismo Sport.

With the European launch day for the PlayStation 5 just around the corner, Sony has staged an impressive publicity stunt. PlayStation 5 has taken over one of the busiest public transport networks in the world, the London Underground, and — among other things — given Gran Turismo 7 its own station.

In addition to releasing the new Toyota GR Yaris into GT Sport today, Sony and Toyota Gazoo Racing are running a rather exciting competition. Four lucky users could find themselves winning a PlayStation 5, courtesy of the homologation special hatchback.

For players in seven countries — the USA, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, and Japan — the age of the PlayStation 5 is upon us. Sony’s new generation console officially launched on November 12, and among GTPlanet’s users there is only one question right now: how does GT Sport play on PS5?

Gran Turismo 7 is once again being pushed to the forefront of PlayStation 5 promotional materials, this time featuring in the console’s official launch trailer.

An update to the PlayStation Store over the weekend has confirmed that Gran Turismo Sport will be playable on the next-generation PlayStation 5 console.

A special State of Play episode has revealed how the next-generation PlayStation 5’s user interface will function. The video, presented by Hideaki Nishino, PlayStation’s SVP in platform planning and management, with a walkthrough from Sid Shuman of SIE content communications, shows what players can expect when the console launches next month.

Burger King appears to have revealed the start-up sound of the new PlayStation 5 in a new ad campaign for a promotional contest. The competition will allow BK customers in the USA (except those in Alaska and Hawaii) to win a PS5 console with qualifying purchases.

A post on the official PlayStation Blog has detailed what PlayStation 5 users can expect from the system’s backward compatibility functions. The article, from Sony’s senior vice-president for platform planning and management, Hideaki Nishino, reveals precisely how the feature will function.

There was a lot to take in if you were watching the official PlayStation 5 teardown video yesterday, not least the sheer size of the thing. However there was also a blink-and-you’ll-miss it moment that could prove significant, if not immediately then certainly across the console’s lifespan.

If, like us, you’re ticking days off your calendar, you won’t need reminding that it’s 36 days until the PlayStation 5 launches (or 43 if you live in Europe). For a console that has been so secret for so long, Sony has started the promotional push with some vigor.

Sony has apologized for how it handled PlayStation 5 pre-orders, and has promised to rectify the situation with further console availability soon.

Although we are still waiting for more news on Gran Turismo 7, Sony has officially started the countdown to the new console generation by revealing the price and release date for PlayStation 5.

The latest step in the next-generation console launch push will come today, with Sony’s PlayStation 5 Showcase event.

Sony has announced the next stage in the next-gen console marketing push. A new PlayStation 5 Showcase event is scheduled for Wednesday, September 16, at 2000 UTC.

We don’t yet know when it’s coming out, or how much it will cost, but PlayStation 5 pre-orders are now open — or at least in a manner of speaking.

A patent filed by Sony Interactive Entertainment earlier this year suggests that all previous PlayStation games might become available via a new, unnamed service on PlayStation 5.

The grand reveal of Gran Turismo 7 during last week’s PlayStation 5 games event was a pretty exciting event. Along with confirming the game’s existence, it gave us a first look at GT7 in action — and a new career mode. We’ve put together a guide on everything we know about Gran Turismo 7, in case you need to get up to speed.

As the climax of its special PlayStation 5 games presentation, Sony has finally revealed the design of the console itself.
