A video has surfaced online, courtesy of The Wall Street Journal’s Takashi Mochizuki, that features Sony showcasing the loading speeds of their upcoming PlayStation 5 console when compared to that of the PS4 Pro. The video was taken during Sony’s IR Day 2019 corporate strategy meeting, which took place earlier today.
The video uses 2018 release Marvel’s Spider-Man to showcase the difference in load times between the current PlayStation hardware and that of the PS5, which we know will use the latest in SSD technology. This demonstration is obviously the same one that took place for Mark Cerny’s original report for Wired. As you can see from the video below, the PS5 renders Spider-Man’s universe in a mere second or two, leaving the PS4 Pro to play catchup around eight seconds later
