With Sony's highly anticipated PS5 game reveal event well behind us, fans have been looking forward to what's next from the company. There's still a lot that's unknown about the PS5, including its price and release date, and fans are hoping to learn more sooner rather than later. Rumors have been swirling that Sony plans on hosting its next PS5 event at some point in early August, and now an industry insider has potentially leaked the next PS5 event date and time.
Business analyst Roberto Serrano claims that the next PS5 event will take place on August 6 at 1pm PT. Serrano said that PlayStation fans can "pin" the tweet, but concluded it by acknowledging that this has yet to actually be confirmed. Serrano has accurately leaked PlayStation brand news in the past, but he certainly doesn't have a perfect track record, with one incorrect claim making big headlines earlier this month.
As some may recall, a rumor started spreading online that PS5 pre-orders would be going live on July 13. Serrano is the one that started these rumors, even claiming to know approximately the time Sony would be opening PS5 pre-orders to the public. However, Serrano's information turned out to be incorrect, leaving fans waiting for the chance to pre-order Sony's next-generation console.
Considering Serrano's mixed track record when it comes to PlayStation leaks, fans should take this news with a grain of salt. It does seem likely that Sony will host a PS5 event in August, but whether or not it happens on August 6 at 1pm PT is up for debate.
As for what Sony will show at the next PS5 event, that also remains to be seen. Previous rumors have indicated that a Silent Hill PS5 exclusive may be revealed sooner rather than later, and many fans are hoping to get news on the PS5 price and release date. It's possible the next PS5 event will still focus on games, but it's also possible that it will be used to get information like the PS5 price and release date out of the way.
If Sony is planning its next State of Play event for August 6, then fans should get more concrete information sooner rather than later.
