The CES 2022, convention on new technologies, took place in early January in Las Vegas. Jim Ryan, the president of sony, took the opportunity to make some announcements, including one in particular that caught our attention.
Indeed, a “Tournaments” feature will be added to the PlayStation 5. It will be released in 2022 and will allow players to compete in tournaments. This is obviously reminiscent of the PlayStation 4, which already offered this option at the time, thus giving the possibility to players around the world to challenge each other online.
It is obvious that Sony wishes, with its next-gen console, to turn a little more towards the world of esports. Already in 2021, the company had co-purchased EVO (Evolution Fighting Games Tournament), an event dedicated to fighting games like Street Fighter, Tekken or Mortal Kombat.
A year 2022 which will be placed under the sign of esport for Sony. It is true that after the “Tournaments” already existing on PS4, the brand is quite familiar with this universe and already has a website exclusively reserved for competitions.
The Sony CEO’s announcement regarding the tournaments was very brief, but he emphasized innovation and progress, before continuing on the importance of virtual reality in the brand’s development plans. . According to Jim Ryan, this feature will be much more developed on the PS5 than on the previous console. See what Sony has in store for us!
