Rumored PS5 Official Reveal Details

An eagle eye Reddit user recently shared a photo, which might have revealed the date and venue of the PlayStation 5 official unveiling. Based on the image, it looks like Sony reserved a hall in New York for Feb. 29, 2020. The ‘private event’ would start at 7 PM, and it appears that it is exclusive for ticket holders.

Last year, a massive PS5 leak claimed that the next generation gaming console from Sony would unveil at a special meeting in Feb. 2020. The photo could contain the details of the PS5 official unveiling. It could also be for another event totally unrelated to the PS5 and intended for other Sony products; at this point, nothing is certain yet.
