Update, June 8: PlayStation 5's game-reveal event, after being teased and indefinitely canceled, is back on.

After leaking as a video ad in various territories on YouTube and Twitch, Sony has since confirmed the new game-reveal time slot of Thursday, June 11, at 4pm ET / 1pm PT. The announcement briefly acknowledges last week's delay, telling fans, "We needed to step aside so key voices could be heard during this historic and important time."

Sony Interactive Entertainment's statement then goes on to confirm a strange technical limitation for its reveal of next-gen games: that the feed will top out at 1080p resolution and 30 frames per second. This comes in spite of next-gen console manufacturers frequently announcing specs like 4K resolutions (which YouTube supports) and 120fps refresh rates (which YouTube does not).
