PlayStation 5 games event for June 4 is delayed: Everything you need to know - CNET

Sony's PlayStation division planned to unveil games coming this fall, but has delayed the event in the face of worldwide protests.

Sony's said it'll delay a planned June 4 event to discuss new titles for its upcoming PlayStation 5 video game console after protests erupted around the world in response to the killing of an unarmed black man, George Floyd, while in police custody.

Sony had initially planned to hold its event despite the coronavirus pandemic, which shut down the annual E3 video game show this year.

PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan initially touted the event as a first look at games that'll be made for the console.

Microsoft has another event planned for July, when it plans to show off new games from its own development studios -- including 343 Industries, makers of the hit Halo space combat series and its newest title, Halo Infinite.
