Hey everyone,

The first details about the long rumored PlayStation 5 games console have been released.

Whilst a lot of the details are still a mystery Mark Cerny (lead system architect) gave an interview with Wired in which he confirmed some of the hardware details.

The new console will come with an AMD chip which will allow the system to support Ray Tracing, the visual effect commonly used in film and TV that models the travel of light to simulate complex interactions in 3D environments. The AMD chip also includes a custom unit for 3D audio.

In addition the system will ship with a custom SSD (Solid-state drive) which will improve loading times and support for 8K TV.

It really sounds like they're future-proofing the new system and I'm excited to hear more! What are your thoughts on the new console and are they're any gamers on the community who are excited by the news?
