Sony's PlayStation 5 has been unveiled following an hour-long livestream. Sony still hasn't announced the exact price or release date of the PS5, but the console will launch during the 2020 holiday season.

Sony detailed the PlayStation 5's look for the first time during the event, showing off the PS5's DualSense controller and announcing the initial lineup of PlayStation 5 games. The stream included trailers for titles like "Spider-Man: Miles Morales", "Gran Turismo 7," "Resident Evil: Village," and "Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart."

The PlayStation 4 is the most popular video game console of its generation, having sold more than 100 million units worldwide since November 2013. The PlayStation 5 will compete with the Xbox Series X, Microsoft's upcoming console, for the affection of gamers throughout the 2020 holiday season.

While new PlayStation and Xbox consoles are just a few months away, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles are selling out amid the coronavirus pandemic and shelter-in-place orders. Reports have indicated that the pandemic could lead Sony to produce fewer PS5 consoles for the initial launch.

Though full details on pricing and availability for the PS5 are still forthcoming, we've detailed everything we know so far about how to buy the console below. We'll update this article with more pre-order information as it's revealed.
