PS5 Console Design Revealed
Sony has given us a look at the PS5’s controller before, but we now finally have a look at the console itself, as well as an all-digital disc-less version of the console called the PS5 Digital Edition.
No price or exact release date was announced.
[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=playstation-5-console-dualsense-and-accessories&captions=true”]
The curved design features a white shell with a black inside segment. It is safe to say, that this is unlike any console we’ve seen before.
Two versions of the console are available, the ‘regular’ PS5, and the PS5 Digital Edition, which does not have a disc drive and will be purely for digital download games.
Earlier this year, Sony debuted the DualSense, the PS5’s new controller with a suite of new features meant to offer players a new level of interactivity with next-gen games. The Xbox Series X design, conversely, was showcased by Microsoft at The Game Awards 2019.

GTA 5 Is Coming To PS5 And Xbox Series X In 2021, Will Be “Expanded And Enhanced”
Sony debuted the PlayStation 5 today, and one of the first announcements was that Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto V is coming to the next-gen console in 2021. It’s launching in the “second half” of 2021, Rockstar said in a post on the PlayStation blog. A post on the Rockstar Newswire confirms that Grand Theft Auto V is coming to “new generation consoles” plural, so you can expect it on Xbox Series X, too.
GTA 5 was originally released on the PlayStation 3, before coming to PlayStation 4, so PS5 will be the third platform that Rockstar’s open-world action game is released on. It hasn’t been confirmed yet, but it seems very unlikely that GTA V would be exclusive to PS5 on next-gen, so you should expect an announcement for Xbox Series X in due course.
Sony did not provide any details on any potential new content or features for the PS5 and Xbox Series X editions of GTA 5. However, a trailer confirmed that the game will be “expanded and enhanced” on PS5 and Xbox Series X.

WWE’s John Morrison On Maybe Being Co-Champion After Backlash, And His New Take On Roman Reigns
Wrestler John Morrison competed in WWE from 2002 to his departure from the company in 2011. After spending time working promotions like Lucha Underground, AAA, and Impact, Morrison returned to WWE in 2019, reteaming with his former tag team partner The Miz. Now, the duo is taking on Braun Strowman for the Universal Championship at Backlash.
The WWE PPV is taking place on Sunday, June 14 at the Performance Center, and the interesting caveat is that it’s a handicap match for the championship, meaning Miz and Morrison (Hey hey, ho ho) will be facing the champ as a team. But how does that work? Who becomes champion if they can defeat the Monster Among Men, Braun Strowman?
“We’ve talked about it both ways,” Morrison told GameSpot. “Co-champions would be nice. We could cut the belt in half and make some sort of a Universal Championship pendant. Sell that as merchandise, and probably get a really nice royalty check for that. Or the other way we were thinking it is whoever gets the fall would win. If I win–if I beat Braun–then Miz would get the first shot at me. Or if Miz pins Braun, then I would get the first shot at him.”
