SHARJAH – Sony\u2019s upcoming PlayStation 5 video game console will feature a state-of-the-art solid-state drive (SSD), backward compatibility, and ray tracing, said Lead System Architect Mark Cerny in a March 18 live-streamed conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Cerny, the company focused on developing an appropriate SSD, which in turn resulted in a storage mechanism that is substantially faster than their previous device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Streamlining the user gaming experience by reducing wait times on loading screens motivated the change, Cerny said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cerny added that along with the new SSD, the PS5 will feature increased random-access memory and will utilize a more efficient compression algorithm to prevent a system bottleneck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, the improved AMD built graphics processing unit in the PS5 will enable game developers to utilize new ray-tracing technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although Cerny did not reveal the cost of the system, he said, \u201cwe have a responsibility to our gaming audience to be cost-effective with regards to what we put in the console.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sony plans to launch the PS5 during the holiday season.
