Chris Dring, the publisher of leading industry site GamesIndustry.biz, told VGC that he agrees PS5 is likely to be publicly unveiled by the time GDC and PAX East open.
“PlayStation will break cover soon and is starting to do so already, with its small CES reveal the first of many appearances. PlayStation is meeting with indie developers at PAX East next month, and GDC will be a major moment for it to bring more studios on board.
“It’s likely we will know a lot more about PS5 before then as Sony looks to increase its conversations with partners to ensure a strong launch year line-up.
“However, when it comes to exact day one release slate and pricing, that will likely be left to E3 (or a similar event) at the very earliest.”
