A couple of weeks ago, patents for cart-based technology hit the web and while it wasn’t proof that Sony was looking to go the Nintendo route, the technology proposed in that mock-up was fascinating stuff. This week’s latest patent once again points towards Sony making use of an SSD system with which to cut down on game loading screens that traditional SATA-based hard drives are plagued with, but it’s the 12 pin layout that suggests that Sony is going all in on solid state drive technology.

So what will the PlayStation 5 controller look like then? Not too different! According to the controller patent that was published in Japan, the changes are subtle but shiny enough to give you instant technolust: Bigger triggers, shrunken analogue sticks and a USB-C port.

In the paraphrased words of Freddie Mercury, can anyone find meeeeeeee, some fresh ps5 details to loooooove? PlayStation CEO and President Jim Ryan might know a thing or two about what fans can expect from that console when it arrives just in time for the 2020 silly season, with the big cheese spilling a bunch of beans yesterday.

The PlayStation 5 – with the boring old name of “PlayStation 5” – is coming towards the end of next year, finally brining this generation to a close. Sort of. Like the current Xbox One, the next PlayStation will actually offer backwards compatibility, so you won’t have to abandon your entire collection of games when the next systems roll around.

Since Wired got the scoop on the PlayStation 5 in April this year, there’s been little word on what the system entails. We know it’ll feature AMD’s Navi, and that it’ll feature some sort of souped-up SSD to make it zippier, eliminating load times. In a new deeper look, once again by Wired, we learn a few more details.

You can bank on the PS5 being more focused on streaming than ever before.

Here’s a look at what I thought was going to happen this year…and what has actually happened so far.

So what does the future hold in store for PlayStation VR? A hefty upgrade by the sound of things.
