The period we are living in is quite exceptional. With the cancellation of the various events usually conducive to announcements with great fanfare, manufacturers must review their entire communication to highlight the Xbox Series X and PS5 games and new consoles.

PS5: the console revealed in June and the games in August?

Communication on the PlayStation 5 seems to revolve around the months of June and August. According to Jeff Grubb, an event to introduce new generation is scheduled for early next month. Originally, this event was to take place on June 4, but the man indicates that the exact date has been moved. Indeed, last April, he was already talking about a presentation of the PS5 for June 4 .

If he can not say that we will see the console at this event, he also indicates that a State Of Play aimed at revealing games is planned for him at the beginning of August. He says that one should however have seen the console before this second event.

Sony has already confirmed that its lack of communication is strategic and announced today that a convincing line of games will be presented "soon".

Xbox Series X: 1st Party games in July, but not only

Regarding the Redmond company, we already know that Microsoft plans to show its 1st Party games in July. Indeed, if the public expected to see Halo or Hellblade 2 during the Inside Xbox on May 7, the brand had already warned that this event was reserved for games from third-party publishers.

According to Jeff Grubb, Microsoft plans, in addition to the event in July to present its games, a speech in June to speak again of the console. This speech is scheduled for the second week of June, it mentions the dates of June 9 and 10. One can well imagine that the price as well as the release date and the opening of the pre-orders of the Xbox Series X would be on the program.

The opportunity to talk about the Lockhart project?

If Microsoft's June event isn't game-centric, the Lockhart project may also be talked about again. We recently learned that this second console was still current. It would indeed be a question of a machine less powerful than the Xbox Series X and PS5 which would be grafted between the current machines and the next gen consoles. The one we are starting to call the Xbox Series S could be a 100% dematerialized machine, that is to say without a disk drive.

We have heard a lot about each other's announcements. If these latest rumors are to be taken with tweezers, it must anyway be obvious that the noose tightens and that the presentation of the PlayStation 5 is imminent. At the same time, Microsoft seems to have a lot more to show and its events in the framework of the Xbox 20/20 are going in this direction. The coming months will be decisive.
