Report: PlayStation 5 Will Release In October According to Job Listing

The next generation of consoles from Sony and Microsoft is coming up real soon and while Microsoft has been showing off their new powerful console, Sony has been vague sharing information as far as its release date for PS5.

According to a job listing found by Nibellion on Twitter, The PlayStation 5 will release in October. Here is what the job description says:

We will handle the trial purchasing of PlayStation hardware products.
We will select the best suppliers from domestic and overseas parts partners, and adjust the specifications of hardware parts and production capacity in cooperation with the design department and quality assurance department
to create PlayStation 5 scheduled to be released in October 2020.

As we know the Xbox Series X has been planned to launch for Holiday 2020 which would mean November and Sony have been the same as far as the release window is concerned. Based on history Sony & Microsoft usually release their new consoles in the middle of November before the Holiday rush.

Now, could we see something different this time? Of course or this could be a mistake made on the job listing part putting the wrong month in there. One thing to keep an eye on is that Sony has the marketing rights to Call of Duty and if they want to release at the same time a new Call of Duty title launches that could also be possible.

Sony is planning to reveal more details on the PlayStation 5 in June according to an insider.

This is still a developing story.
