The PlayStation 5 has a much sleeker design than its main competitor, the Xbox Series X. The console seems to have one USB-C port and one USB-A port in the front. A digital-only version of the PS5 was shown as well, dubbed the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition. No prices have been announced for either version of the console.

Sony further showed off several accessories for the PlayStation 5, including a Pulse 3D wireless headset, remote, HD camera, and controller charging station. They are all white in color, matching the console itself. It also looks like the PS5 will include a vertical stand, with the Digital Edition having a slightly slimmer one as a result of the lack of a disc drive.

Players now know what both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X look like, with the latter being revealed last year during the 2019 Game Awards. Both consoles are set to release this holiday 2020.
