Details on the all-new PlayStation 5
Four years into the development of the next-gen PlayStation, lead system architect Mark Cerny gave American teach magazine Wired a peek behind the curtain on what to expect for PS5:
- Backwards compatible with PS4 games
- Supports up to 8K resolution
- 8 core AMD Zen 2
- Ray-tracing support with GPU
- Extremely fast high-end SSD storage
- Will still have a disc drive
Sadly we’ll have to wait a little longer as PS5 will not be released this year but you know what they say, good things come to those who wait 😉

The teaser we discussed yesterday was finally revealed…and we guessed it – a plug-and-play mini-arcade!
Running on a basic set-up of HDMI output and USB power source, it also is Wi-Fi enabled for global online leaderboards. If the unique dual control setup doesn’t help you re-live that arcade, side-by-side experience, maybe the 16 pre-loaded games in the Capcom Home Arcade will:
- 1944: The Loop Master
- Alien vs. Predator
- Armored Warriors
- Capcom Sports Club
- Captain Commando
- Cyberbots
- Darkstalkers
- Eco Fighters
- Final Fight
- Ghouls ‘n Ghosts
- Gigawing
- Mega Man: The Power Battle
- Progear
- Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting
- Strider
- Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
You can pre-order the Capcom Home Arcade now (estimated 25 October release in the UK), but it’ll set you back a cool €229.99 (US$259.91). No details yet on pricing and release for US or Asia markets.
