UPDATE, June 1st: Sony has announced that it will be postponing the PlayStation 5 event, which was originally scheduled to air on Thursday, June 4th. In light of the Black Lives Matter movement and protests occurring in America and parts of the globe, Sony has chosen to have the focus on the current worldwide circumstances. It's sad, but the right call to make in these times.

ORIGINAL STORY: Sony has confirmed that the PlayStation 5 event (that I'm sure we've all been waiting for) will take place on June 4th. The event advertised by PlayStation promises the "Future of Gaming" and will reportedly offer our first look at PS5 games over an hour-long presentation. The official PlayStation account took to social media to break the exciting news, as this is the first time we'll see an event from PlayStation dedicated to the PS5 and future titles.

PlayStation details the event in a new blog post from Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan, who states, "There are few things as exciting as the launch of a new console. While this road to launch has been a bit…different, we are as thrilled as ever to bring you with us on this journey to redefine the future of videogames. We’ve shared technical specifications and shown you the new DualSense wireless controller. But what is a launch without games?" Ryan goes on to confirm that this event will be our first look at games coming to PS5 this holiday, aligning with the launch of the console.

Sony concludes by stating that the event will run for an hour and showcase games from developers, small and large, across the globe. "This digital showcase will run for a bit more than an hour and, for the first time, we will all be together virtually experiencing the excitement together. A lack of physical events has given us an amazing opportunity to think differently and bring you on this journey with us, and hopefully, closer than ever before. This is part of our series of PS5 updates and, rest assured, after next week’s showcase, we will still have much to share with you."

Tune into the PlayStation 5 event on June 4th at 1PM PDT / 10PM CAT.
