We have just entered the debut month of the new console generation. PlayStation 5 will officially arrive in Europe on 19st November and among the more than 113 million PlayStation 4 users, there will surely be those who will want to wait before taking the plunge. Users, the latter, who might be frightened at the idea that the current flagship is being supplanted, but in this regard Jim Ryan intervened to reassure them about the near future.
Interviewed by the Games Industry editorial staff, the company's CEO reiterated that PlayStation 4 will not disappear with the advent of PlayStation 5: "Obviously our eyes and horizons extend to what is possible with the PS4 community, based on what we have observed over the past six months." The time indication probably refers to the last period in which, forced at home, the number of active players increased exponentially.
“During 2021, but also 2022” - continues Jim Ryan - “active players on PlayStation 4 could still represent the majority within the PlayStation community. It is crucial to keep them engaged and happy. And the last six months have shown that we can do it with an intensity that we considered impossible in the period preceding Covid ". A very precise and reassuring statement that confirms the desire to support the current platform for a long time. A clue could be found in the release of games for both consoles, such as Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
