Numerous events and products have been delayed or cancelled outright due to the coronavirus, but the PlayStation 5’s release date has reportedly not yet been affected by the pandemic. News of this reassurance about the PlayStation 5 release date comes from LetsGoDigital, an outlet which said they spoke to Amsterdam PR agency that represents Sony Interactive Entertainment Benelux. The company reportedly told LetsGoDigital that the PlayStation 5 has not yet been delayed by the coronavirus, though we still don’t know what the actual release date of the console will be beyond knowing that it’s releasing during the holidays this year.

LetsGoDigital said only that it reached out to the PR agency and that the company confirmed that the console hadn’t been delayed due to the coronavirus. As those who’ve been watching the developments of the coronavirus’ impact on the entertainment industry, however, even things that didn’t seem like they’d be delayed have now been pushed back. The PlayStation 5’s release date wasn’t supposed to be until the holidays of this year anyway, so it’s difficult to see that far out, but the fact that the PlayStation 5 is still in production and different components will be required means that things could always change.
