Sony has announced that it has decided to delay the PlayStation 5 reveal event, originally set for June 4. pic.twitter.com/ZAY8StN0EU — PlayStation (@PlayStation) June 1, 2020 "We have decided to postpone the PlayStation 5 event scheduled for June 4. While we understand gamers worldwide are excited to see PS5 games, we do not feel that right now is a time for celebration and for now, we want to stand back and allow more important voices to be heard," the statement reads. Sony originally had announced last week a PS5 reveal event for this Thursday, June 4, which would have debuted games set for Sony's next-gen console, the PlayStation 5. Since that announcement, in addition to the COVID-19 pandemic the world is facing, protests around the United States and the world have been ongoing, centering on police brutality following the death of George Floyd. Sony has not announced any rescheduling plans for the event or its included announcements.
