The long-awaited reveal of the PlayStation 5 could be happening soon, as a new report is claiming that Sony will hold an event in early or mid-June. Sony has been slow to reveal new information about the PlayStation 5, especially when compared to Microsoft and the Xbox Series X.
Sony has revealed the DualSense controller for the PlayStation 5, but we haven't seen any other part of the console. Microsoft has shown the Xbox Series X in all of its fridge-like glory and has revealed many key aspects of the system in order to convince fans that it will be worth buying later this year. Microsoft has even revealed some of its next-gen games, but fans weren't happy with the Xbox Series X gameplay stream, as it was mostly composed of cutscenes and didn't show much gameplay.

There have been numerous rumors regarding a potential delay of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, due to production issues caused by COVID-19. Sony's silence regarding the PlayStation 5 has been seen as a sign of trouble from pundits around the world, but these rumors of a reveal event could put those worries to rest.
There is a stark contrast in how Microsoft and Sony have been revealing their upcoming systems. Microsoft has been all about transparency and honesty with the Xbox Series X, even if their promised gameplay reveal stream was lacking in gameplay. Sony has been mostly silent regarding the PlayStation 5 and we know little about the system. The stumble of the Xbox Series X gameplay reveal stream could give Sony the chance to win back the crowd from its biggest competitor. Microsoft has revealed its hand in regards to the Xbox Series X, so Sony has the chance to swoop in and impress the fans with something better. Does Sony have some amazing console gimmicks up its sleeve or will the PlayStation 5 reveal be a dud? If these rumors of a summertime reveal event are true, then we won't have long to find out.
The PlayStation 5 is due to be released during the 2020 holiday season.
