Monster PS5 leak tells all: Price, release date, hidden features and games

[Chris Smith]

• The PS5 price, release date, and preorder details are still a mystery, as Sony is taking its time with these key PlayStation 5 announcements.
• A leaker who has been making the same claims for several months is back with a new “Twitter storm” that includes plenty of purported details about the upcoming console.
• The leaker listed the pricing structure of the PS5 consoles and all its accessories, as well as the expected release date. He offered more information about the games that will be available on launch day and revealed more details about several new PS5 features.

Of all the leakers out there who share details about unreleased products, the one who calls himself IronManPS5 is a consistent source of PS5 and Xbox leaks, although his focus has always been the new PlayStation. We’ve been looking at his leaks for months, and he wasn’t always accurate. Some of the Sony PS5 events he mentioned did happen. Although this being the year of a huge pandemic that kept everyone indoors, it’s a lot easier for companies to prove leakers wrong, given there haven’t been any in-person press conferences since January’s CES 2020 edition. You only have to move your online announcements around to debunk any leaks. That does not mean Iron Man has legit information about the next PlayStation. But he’s very consistent about the PS5 information he’s ready to share. Also, he did say the Xbox Series X will launch on November 6th well before Microsoft confirmed the console would indeed arrive in early November. Separately, a few Xbox controller leaks suggested that November 6th might indeed be the launch date for the Series X.

Iron Man released a ton of PlayStation 5 information via Twitter the other day in what he called his State of Play event. He listed all the games that will be available for the PS5 this year, pricing and release date information, as well as a few tidbits about PS5 features that Sony did not mention.
