SONY decided to postpone its PlayStation 5 event in light of the George Floyd protests happening in the US.
The gaming giant didn’t announce an official rescheduled date but rumours online suggest it could be June 12.

The original event was supposed to have on June 4 but PlayStation tweeted that they didn’t feel it was the right time for celebration.
The tweet reads: “While we understand gamers worldwide are excited to see PS5 games, we do not feel that right now is a time for celebration and for now, we want to stand back and allow more important voices to be heard.”
Many PlayStaion fans praised Sony for its decision to postpone while others were left disgruntled that they’ll have to wait longer for the PS5 reveal.
There have even been reports of people slamming the cancellation as a marketing move but most people seem to agree it was the right move.
Whenever the event does go ahead it will be happening online.
A Twitter user named Verdict4489 tweeted about a rumour that the launch will now occur next Friday.
Tech experts and fans seem to think this isn’t a far fetched notion.
However, we must take this with a pinch of salt as Sony hasn’t given any official word yet.
Sony is not very likely to make a firm decision on a date until current events in the US calm down.
