June was expected to be a big month for games, and though E3 2020 has been cancelled, Sony was planning a big reveal event for the highly-anticipated PlayStation 5. Due to the Black Lives Matter protests, Sony has opted to cancel their big reveal set for the end of the week.

Sony posted in their <a href="https://twitter.com/PlayStation/status/1267525525825900549">official announcement</a>:

<div class="direct-quote">
We have decided to postpone the PlayStation 5 event scheduled on June 4.

While we understand gamers worldwide are excited to see PS5 games, we do not feel that right now is a time for celebration and for now, we want to stand back and allow more important voices to be heard.

Admittedly, this seems like a good move on Sony’s part. With the Black Lives Matter protests prompting attention from countries outside of the US, it wouldn’t be smart for Sony to try and have a big ‘celebration’ of their new console in the midst of the growing outrage.

On the other hand, there are also those fans who are downright angry that Sony has decided to make a delay, and some comments are being posted about how Sony is being unprofessional and taking away their ‘means of escapism.’

We don’t know when the PS5 reveal will be, but Sony will likely come up with a new date soon.

There will be no celebrations from Sony this week.
