"The PlayStation 5 is a masterpiece of systems design. Not only is it driving a huge leap in computing and graphics performance, but it is also revolutionary in terms of storage and data compression technology, unlocking new kinds of games and experiences for players to enjoy," said Penwarden.
In an interview with journalists from the same magazine, Epic Games' technology director Kim Liberi spoke in a similar tone, complimenting the power of the PS5.
