The cost and the launch date of Sony’s next generation console was revealed during the second livestream PlayStation 5 Showcase, which also featured a series of new games coming to the console. One of them was Final Fantasy VXI, which opened the showcase.

The announcement was made after Microsoft revealed the price of the Xbox Series X and it’s launch date, as well as announcing a cheaper but less powerful version called the Xbox Series S.
