PlayStation 5 Dev Kit Reportedly Leaked

4
Sony Interactive Entertainment has a new hardware patent that's possibly related to the PlayStation 5. More specifically, a new patent filed by the PlayStation makers for an unknown electronic device has surfaced, and it looks like it's probably for a PlayStation 5 development kit. If this is the case, then not only is this our first look at the development kit for the console that developers have started to get their hands on, but it possibly hints at what the PlayStation 5 could look like. As you may know, sometimes developer kits look nothing like their market counterpart -- they are often much beefier -- but sometimes they do share visual similarities.

Given that this is an official patent, means there's no doubting these the validity of the images. The real question is whether this is for the PS5 development kit? Looking at the images, it's hard to imagine it being anything else, but, for the moment, take this with a grain of salt, because we can't know for sure what this device is. All we know is Sony has a patent for it and that it looks like a console dev kit.


As you will know, the PlayStation 5 currently doesn't have a release date or even a release window. However, many are assuming it will hit holiday 2020 alongside the Xbox Scarlett. If this is the case -- and it most likely is -- then we should get an official hardware revealing soon, either during a special PlayStation Meeting in early 2020 or at E3 2020.




To show you just how much things can change below is what the PS1 Dev kit looked like.

I doubt this is what the actual dev kit looks like. Regardless, the actual console won't look like the dev kit in most cases.
