Sony unveils PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition, reveals handful of exclusive titles

Last night, Sony finally unveiled the much-awaited PlayStation 5  and released trailers of games that will be coming on the console. The launch event was **earlier delayed** because of the protests taking place across the United States after the death of George Floyd. The latest Sony console comes in two variants, one is a standard edition that comes with an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive whereas the other is digital edition, which does not come with an optical disc drive.
