Once again, Sony has given Wired exclusive information concerning the company?s next-generation console. This time, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan was able to confirm what everyone has long expected. The new console is indeed called the PlayStation 5. Additionally, Ryan felt comfortable confirming the rumored launch window of holiday 2020. During the interview with Wired, Ryan and system architect Mark Cerny let loose a few other interesting details about the forthcoming hardware. For one, Cerny clarified his past statements on ray-tracing technology, while also teasing what players can expect from PlayStation 5?s User Interface.
For starters, Cerny addressed the confusion surrounding his ray-tracing statements earlier in the year. The rendering technique, which most notably allows for enhanced lighting effects, was hinted at for the PS5 in a nebulous fashion. Consequently, many tech savvy readers were left concerned as to how exactly Sony plans on developing such technology for a console. Apparently, it?s not a ?software-level fix.? In recently speaking with Wired, Cerny elaborated further: ?There is ray-tracing acceleration in the GPU hardware, which I believe is the statement that people were looking for.?
