PlayStation 5 Event Postponed
PlayStation recently revealed that they were finally ready to unveil what games we could expect to see coming to PlayStation 5. That digital showcase was scheduled to be held just this week, but Sony and PlayStation have decided to postpone that, in light of recent events.
This news comes from PlayStation’s Twitter account, in a single image message.
Just days after they announced the event, it has been postponed, seemingly indefinitely as there is no date attached to this message. This is a good move in the eyes of many. The world is in a chaotic state, fear and anxieties surrounding the COVID pandemic, combined with the recent police murder of George Floyd have sparked riots in the streets of American cities. It’s a wild time and the minds behind Sony have seen fit to “stand back and let more important voices be heard.”
They are not the only ones. Many other games companies have spoken out about the injustices happening in formerly the United States of America. PlayStation, Ubisoft, Microsoft, and Electronic Arts have all shown their support in one way or another, either by matching donations to release protestors or aiding relief funds. Even just supporting the cause by standing in solidarity with us.
Still, while this is undeniably a good move, it still stings in a way. Apologies in advance for sounding like griping, because I know there are more important things to worry about then my video games, but with all the wildness going on, danger feeling ever-closer to my own home, it was nice to have something good to look forward to.
