With its inaugural edition in 2014, the PlayStation Experience has become an annual fan event for the enthusiasts of PlayStation consoles. Now, the details of this year’s event have been announced by Sony.
It seems like the event will be switching its location again for the third consecutive year. The first edition in 2014 was held at Las Vegas, the next one in 2015 at San Francisco and this year’s venue would be the Anaheim Convention Center at Anaheim California, which is also the venue for Blizzcon.
According to Sony’s blog post, the event would be initiated with a ‘PlayStation Showcase” at 10 am PT on Saturday, 3 December, 2016. After that it would be time for probably the most anticipated moment, when attendees get to try out the PlayStation products hands on, which include PlayStation VR and PlayStation Pro. However, it is to be noted that both these devices would be released prior to the event as PS VR releases in October and PS Pro will reportedly be coming in November.
Adding on to this, the Capcom Cup, the competitive gaming tournament for Street Fighter V will be making its way into the event. The finals will be taking place at 6 pm on Saturday and the winner will be titled ‘Street Fighter V world champion’ along with a prize pool of $250,000.
