What the event will show
- Sony will show off some new games for the upcoming PlayStation 5 video game console. The event will likely run for about an hour, Sony said in a new blog post.
- The event will be broadcasted online. It will be shown at 1080p and 30 frames per second, according to Sony. This matters because games won’t appear exactly as they will when the PlayStation 5 launches.
- “The games you’ll see on Thursday will look even better when you play them on PS5 with a 4K TV, as you’d expect,” according to Sony. “It’s also best if you watch while wearing headphones, if you can — there’s some cool audio work in the show, and it might be harder to appreciate if it’s pumped through your phone or laptop speakers.”
