The director also announced that PS5 will launch globally during the holidays later this year. When asked about the cost of PS5 games using technology Unreal Engine 5Mr. Jim Ryan said: “I think when technology can make game graphics more interesting and realistic, games will be more “soul” and more resource intensive to produce. there will be an increase in the budget in development.We don’t see that as a huge expense, and that’s why we want to push the implementation as quickly as possible to deliver the advantages for game developers. Only when we can keep up with the cost of production can the industry continue to grow.”
