Don’t Expect Much PS5 News from Sony’s CES 2025 Press Conference

As a seasoned gamer and tech enthusiast with memories of waiting in line for midnight releases of consoles stretching back to the PlayStation 1 era, I can’t help but feel a bit of nostalgic excitement when CES rolls around. Despite Sony’s hint that we might not see a deluge of PS5 news, I’ve learned over the years to always keep my controller charged and my expectations manageable.

I remember the thrill of hearing about the DualShock 4 for the first time at a CES press conference, and how it revolutionized my gaming experience. Who knows what surprise Sony might have in store this year? Maybe they’ll unveil a new accessory that makes me question why I ever played games without it before.

And let’s not forget about those sales numbers! As much as I love diving into the pixelated world of Helldivers, knowing how many other gamers are joining me in that fight for supremacy is always a fun tidbit to learn.

But remember folks, it’s just like Grandma used to say: “Expect the least, and you’ll never be disappointed.” So let’s tune in, keep our fingers crossed, and hope that this year, Sony decides to drop a game-changing announcement right into our laps. After all, we wouldn’t want them to leave us hanging like that one time when they showed up at my house for dinner with just a bottle of wine… and no dessert!

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which typically feels unusual so soon after Christmas, is set to take place next week, spanning from the 7th of January to the 10th in Las Vegas. Notably, Sony’s annual press conference will occur on the eve of the event, streaming live at 5PM PST / 8PM EST on Monday, 6th January.

If you’re not sure what time that is in your time zone, we’ve put together a handy guide below:

  • North America: 5pm (Mon) PST / 6pm (Mon) MST / 7pm (Mon) CST / 8pm (Mon) EST
  • UK/Ire: 1am GMT
  • Europe: 2am CET / 3am EET
  • Asia/Oceania: 10am JST / 9am AWST / 12pm AEDT

At this particular gathering, it’s unlikely that there will be many updates about PlayStation. Historically, Sony tends to utilize these occasions for showcasing various projects within their corporation, such as their partnership with Honda on the AFEELA electric vehicle, or the unveiling of their new camera lines.

At the biggest global tech gathering, the company expressed enthusiasm about revealing their perspective on where creativity and technology are heading in the future.

The company might share a brief update on PS5 sales, and historically, they’ve unveiled projects such as the Accessibility Controller. It’s plausible that they could disclose updated sales figures for some of their top-tier games like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Helldivers 2.

In actuality, you’re likely to encounter smaller bits of PlayStation updates rather than major groundbreaking announcements. However, it’s essential to note that these presentations are always enjoyable to watch and offer an insightful glimpse into the broader strategy Sony is pursuing.

On YouTube, you’ll have the opportunity to join us live for the latest updates about PlayStation. Any related news following the event will be shared here, exclusively on Push Square.
