PS5: the next console generation will be much more energy efficient [PHOTOS]

The new generation of consoles is already on the way. The PS5 is one of the most anticipated for the following years; however, it does not yet have an official release date. The CEO of Sony revealed details about changes in energy consumption.

The new PS5 will consume less energy than the PS4 when it is not in use. The difference is considerable.

"The next PlayStation console will include the possibility of suspending the game with much lower power consumption than the PS4 (which we estimate can be achieved at around 0.5 W)", Ryan explained on the official PlayStation page.

"If only one million users enabled this feature, it would save the equivalent of the average electricity usage of 1000 households in the United States", he added.

The new feature of the PS5 will run when the console is in standby mode, so gameplay will not be affected. We estimate that there will be some waiting time, but nothing that exceeds a couple of seconds. It is definitely worth it considering the power of the machine.
