Following a job listing suggesting that Sony will launch the PlayStation 5 this October, the company has stated that the month was included in error.
The job listing was created for a position at Sony Interactive Entertainment, and hosted on a Japanese recruitment website. The line in question mentioned that the PlayStation 5 would launch in October, which was the first mention of an exact release month for Sony’s next-generation console.
Japanese publication Famitsu contacted Sony for comment, who stated that the information was erroneously included by the recruitment company in question.
Sony have been slowly revealing new details about the PS5 and its approach to the next-generation of its games. A few weeks ago, it revealed the DualSense 5; the PS5’s official controller with a host of new functionality for games to take advantage on. It has also revealed PlayStation Studios, a new brand that collects all of its exclusives under one banner.
By comparison, Microsoft have already revealed their new console, the Xbox Series X. Microsoft is also hosting monthly streams leading up to the launch of its new console, with the first showcasing third-party games scheduled to launch on the new hardware. Microsoft also had to clarify rumors of a potential Thanksgiving launch date for the Xbox Series X, after it was mentioned on its website.
