PlayStation 5 Most Likely To Release In 2020, Says Pachter
PlayStation 5 isn’t a matter of if, but a matter of when. Sony has been a leader of the console industry for many years now, with their most recent PlayStation 4 blowing away the competition. We’re always hearing rumors about when PlayStation 5 will release, and now Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter has chimed in on a potential release year.
The most recent rumors suggested that Sony’s newest console would release at some point later this year, though Pachter claims that this has a “very low probability.” Pachter then goes on to say that a release year for the console is most likely to take place at some point in 2020, though 2019 shouldn’t be ruled out. He gave a 25% chance for a 2019 release and a 75% chance for a 2020 release.
Sony’s PS4 console originally released back in 2013, and has been a massive success from the onset. It left its closest competitor in the dust with the Xbox One, and is well on its way to becoming one of the best-selling consoles of all time. Sony then released a more powerful version of the console in 2014 called PS4 Pro, which offered improved performance over the original model.
It will likely be a while before we get official word from Sony about their next console, as they typically save console announcements for a big gaming expo like E3. I doubt that will be happening at this year’s E3, but if that changes then we’ll be sure to keep you updated.
Love Is a Long Road, the Tom Petty song in the GTA 6 trailer, saw a 36,979% stream increase after Rockstar’s reveal this week. Week-on-week Spotify data suggests that, but we’re sure it’s trending similarly on Apple Music and others.
Rockstar and the streaming service released an official Grand Theft Auto Radio playlist with six hours of hits from ZZ Top, Dr. Dre, Megadeth, and others. You can hear it here. Ever wanted to listen to Tom Petty this week?
This week’s Game Awards—what to expect? Geoff Keighley is keeping most announcements under wraps, but he has teased an update on Atlus’ long-awaited Metaphor: ReFantazio. The Persona team’s latest project may be released in 2024, according to rumors.
The title returned this summer after being revealed eons ago, but details are scarce. A new trailer should show more story, gameplay, and systems, as well as a possible launch date. Want to see more of this? The link will tell you when the Game Awards are.
If you play video games, you’ve probably played Skyrim, Bethesda’s decade-old open-world RPG. It’s become a meme after endless rereleases. The company wants to sell paid, player-created mods again after not getting the message from players.
Bethesda tested selling Skyrim mods on Steam in 2015, generously giving modders 25% of the proceeds. After Steam’s 30% platform fee, Bethesda would receive 45%, the “current industry standard.”. After fan backlash, Bethesda removed paid mods, and Steam refunded all purchases.
In subsequent years, Bethesda’s Creation Club added user-created content to Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition, requiring that it not violate lore. Bethesda could also release official Creation Club content on PlayStation.
The developer revealed Bethesda Game Studios Creations and a major update for the oldest RPG today. Players can still upload free mods, but creators can now apply for the Verified Creator Program. Certified modders can charge for their work. Since paid moderators no longer have lore-friendly restrictions, expect chaos.
This is already upsetting the community, and the line between official Creation Club content and moderators is blurring. The fact that paid mods disable PlayStation Trophies but not free Creation content is a disaster.
What do you think of Skyrim’s sorry state? Still playing? How’s the PlayStation Creation Club content?
