After months of anticipation,Sony is finally having an official games reveal event for  PS5 on June 11. Dubbed “The Future of Gaming,” the event will focus on the titles you’ll be playing on Sony’s next-gen console.

Last week, Sony postponed a planned event to show off new games for its upcoming PlayStation 5 video game console, due later this year. At the time, the company said it wanted to “allow more important voices to be heard”.

Now Sony has a new date for its event: June 11, at 1 p.m. PT/4 p.m. ET. Sony’s pretaped event will focus on games, but the company plans to make more announcements ahead of the PS5’s launch sometime in the fall.

The company recommends viewers wear headphones while watching the video, because it did “some cool audio work” that’s harder to notice on a laptop or phone. Sony also said the event will stream at 1080p and 30 frames per second, much lower than the 4K quality the device is capable of showing. Sony said the video was reduced to ease the production process, since many staff and developers are working from home.

Sony has revealed the name of the console, its logo, its specs, and its new DualSense controller, and Epic Games showed off a jaw-dropping PS5 demo as part of its announcement of Unreal Engine 5 back in May.

Sony hasn’t revealed the design of the console itself, though, and it’s unclear if Sony plans to do so on Thursday. Ryan said in the original event blog that “after next week’s showcase, we will still have much to share with you,” so it seems likely that there will still be some questions about the PS5 after this week’s event.

The PS5 will have a custom eight-core AMD Zen 2 CPU, a custom AMD RDNA 2-based GPU, 16GB of GDDR6 RAM, and a proprietary SSD with 825GB of storage and 5.5GB/s of performance. The DualSense controller will have haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, an integrated microphone, and a USB-C port. The controller’s share button has also been renamed to the “create” button, but Sony hasn’t shared much about what it will let players do just yet.
