After months of relatively conservative PlayStation 5 info drops, Sony finally gave fans a substantial look at what to expect from its next-gen console with a lengthy PS5 game reveal stream. The summer 2020 PS5 event included several new games coming to the PlayStation 5 after its holiday 2020 launch, including first- and third-party titles, including Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales and more.
Sony teased the reveal as a glimpse at "the future of gaming," saying it would reveal games from small and large developers (as well as those that are "newer and those more established") which show off the system's potential. The event functions as a sort of stand-in for Sony's usual E3-season press conference and marks the first time Sony publicly unveiled PS5 gameplay - though fans did get to see some of the system's hardware capabilities when Epic Games revealed its Unreal Engine 5 demo running on PS5.
Besides the Unreal Engine 5 demo, fans previously knew little about the console apart from its technical specifications and the new features of its DualSense controller. These gave insight into the kinds of experiences the PlayStation 5 can deliver, like immersive haptic feedback and impressive lighting effects. But, as Sony said in a PlayStation Blog post, "what is a launch without games?" More than a year after the company began teasing its new system, today's event was finally time to reveal some of its video games in action.
