Sony unveiled the PlayStation 5 at its "The Foreign ArchivesFuture of Gaming" livestream event Thursday, giving the world its first glimpse at what exactly we'll be playing the next Spider-Man, God of War, and Knack games on, whenever they comes out.

Without further ado, here's what the PlayStation 5 is going to look like:

Look at that sleek design, the way it curves and slopes. Unlike the more pillar-like look of the Xbox Series X or the hybrid design of the Nintendo Switch, the PS5 appears to be sticking to conventional console designs.

The controller that goes along with this beast, the DualSense, was revealed back in April with a slick, two-tone design that compliments the PS5.

There will also be a Digital Edition of the PS5 which does not include a disc tray for those who only play their games digitally.

While the reveal video only shows the console standing vertically, it looks like it can be re-positioned with the base to be placed horizontally.

Sony did not reveal a specific release date for the PlayStation 5 but did reiterate that it's still going to be coming out in 2020.
