Sony Corporation decided to suddenly unveil PlayStation 5 details and specs to avoid leaks, according to Kotaku’s Jason Schreier.
The reason that led Sony to reveal the PlayStation 5 news/details out of the blue so randomly is to avoid leaks, according to Kotaku’s Jason Schreier. That’s because Sony started sending out PS5 Devkits in April and they didn’t want leaks to reveal their next-generation console.
On April 16, Sony surprised everyone by announcing the first details PS5. The announcement was very unexpected. Moreover, the Japanese giant decided to do it in an interview instead of a press event.
In addition to this, Schreier also mentions that this surprise reveal was to get ahead of E3 hype.
