Also, the backward compatibility of PlayStation 5 with older generation games is a huge plus. In other words, those who want to sell their Playstation 4 to buy a Playstation 5. They will not have to wait to finish their old games. On the virtual reality side, compatibility with the existing VR set is maintained.

As a game console, it may not be surprising that it will offer ray tracing support. However, the fact that ray tracing technology brings the visual quality to a completely different level by naturalizing the details: Lighting and reflection in the games will be of great importance for the experience of PlayStation 5 games.

At the end of the presentation, the expected news came and the PlayStation 5 release date and price announced.
