While we already know that the next PlayStation console will be called the PS5, it wasn?t until just yesterday that a trademark was filed for the name. As noted by Let?s Go Digital, the name PS5 was recorded at the IGE IPI (or Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property) on January 27, 2020. The seemingly late name trademark isn?t actually all that unusual. The PS4 name wasn?t trademarked in many European countries until February 13, 2013, just a week before it?s February 20, 2013 reveal. The PS5 trademark being filed and recorded is fueling a lot of renewed speculation that an official reveal is coming soon.
PlayStation fans have been eagerly awaiting more news about the PlayStation 5. Sony first revealed details about the ?next-generation PlayStation? via a surprise Wired interview in April 2019. It finally confirmed the ?PlayStation 5? name later in the year through a follow-up Wired interview, as well as the holiday 2020 release window. While Sony?s gotten ahead of leaks and speculation by confirming the console?s existence, it still has yet to officially reveal and unveil the consoles in full. We?ve had teases of prominent features, a look at the logo, and promises that the biggest features are yet to be revealed, but the company hasn?t even officially named the DualShock 5 controller yet, despite the PS France website more or less outing it.
