2020 will once again be a year of special importance for the future of the video game industry

Microsoft and Sony will launch their new consoles to the market, thus living a new generational leap on which a lot of expectation begins to be involved. Next year will help us to know the physical aspect of the console, its features, its launch games and also allow us to try it, because at Christmas 2020 we will be closing the year with the console on the table.

• AMD chip as the console base
• AMD Ryzen third generation CPU with 8 cores and 16 threads. This processor uses the 7nm FinFET manufacturing process.
• The GPU will be a variant of the Radeon Navi family, and will incorporate the use of ‘ray-tracing’ to simulate complex interactions in 3D environments - no console to date has had this element-
• The AMD chip features a custom 3D audio unit that aims to redefine the way sound can act in a video game. The goal with this is to get that step forward that was not achieved from PlayStation 3 to PlayStation 4, so that the TV speakers themselves are enough to offer a feeling of wearing headphones.
• PlayStation VR will be compatible with the new hardware, although new devices are not denied or confirmed.
• SDD hard drive for faster loading of both games and operating system.
• PlayStation 5 will continue to accept physical format and will contain a disk reader.
• Will seek support and be able to reach 8K resolution regarding some content.
• Release date by the end of 2020.
• PlayStation 5 will share some releases with PS4. Sony will seek a comfortable transition between generations.
• PS5 and PS4 users can play games with each other without any problem.

Game

Below I refer to what games are waiting to be released this 2020:

The Last of Us 2

Without a doubt it is the most anticipated exclusive video game on the platform. The first installment is considered one of the best PlayStation 3 games of the year and even the decade itself. Joel and Ellie will return on May 29 for PlayStation 4 and may in the future in a version with better graphics for PS5.

Ghost of Tsushima

This 2020 will also be important for Sony Worldwide Studios for the fact of launching a new IP among its proposals. For some years since the Japanese brand are betting on introducing new heroes to the PlayStation catalog that accompany Kratos, Nathan or Ellie. Now we must meet Jin Sakai, the character who will be the main protagonist of Ghost of Tsushima.

PlayStation Plus

The pressure to which the service is subjected month by month is quite great. This 2019 has left us good figures in PS Plus, as the service has given away more than 800 euros in games distributed in each of the months of the year. However, the announcement of the monthly games always generates thousands of comments on social networks where players show their joy or discontent about them.

PS Now

No doubt this 2019 has been especially important for PlayStation Now. The service has taken a step forward, perhaps pushed by Xbox Game Pass itself, but it has gone forward. It has added more and better games, has lowered its price and also seems that the performance is even higher.
