The PlayStation 5 reveal event scheduled for this Thursday has been delayed. The news comes in the wake of national protests against racism and police brutality.
“We have decided to postpone the PlayStation 5 event scheduled for June 4,” Sony wrote on PlayStation Blog. “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.”
Sony has also expressed its support for protesters via two of its main Twitter accounts:
