The PlayStation 5 may be launching in October.
Sony has yet to officially announce a launch date for PS5, outside of the mysterious “holiday” target. But, at least according to this job advert, the console is coming in October.
Spotted by @Nibellion, a new job ad on Rikunabi seeks some sort of procurement manager who will help select the best components from suppliers worldwide for use in PS5 manufacturing.
Buried in the job description, however, is this curious detail: “… to create the PlayStation 5 scheduled to be released in October 2020.”
The job posting appears to be legit, as far as one can judge from a Google-translated page. There doesn’t appear to be a date as to when the post was made, however.
Nonetheless, everyone naturally assumed a November launch date for PS5, similar to PS4. October, while a bit too early for holiday, could still work, particularly if it’s very late in the month.
It goes without saying that this isn’t solid confirmation of the PS5 launch date, as plans can change, particularly amidst the current global pandemic. The information may also simply be outdated.
