Announced on Twitter, it looks as though the news will come in the form of a video or livestream, released on the PlayStation blog.As recently as last week, we'd been saying that Sony's silence on PS5 had been deafening , and this should go some way towards solving that issue - although Sony hasn't confirmed exactly what will be discussed in tomorrow's showing.As per Nibel on Twitter, a now-removed tweet from PlayStation Japan indicated that this showing was originally part of Sony's GDC presentations, indicating that this is far more likely to be a technical showcase than an announcement of games, or potentially even a reveal of what the consumer version of the console looks like.Some of what we officially know about the console right now is that it's called PlayStation 5 , it's scheduled for release during Holiday 2020 , that it will feature a solid state drive to help ease loading times , will support ray tracing, and will be backwards compatible with PS4 games.There's more we've learned through less official means - patents have seemingly revealed the controller design someone took pictures of what seems to be the devkit , and a leak may have shown off some of its specs early This news comes hot on the heels of Microsoft's reveal of the full Xbox Series X specs yesterday , which also showed off the console's size , and how its controller had changed
