PS5 Specs
Whilst statistics suggest that console gaming is more popular than PC gaming, it is no secret that gaming PC’s have the capabilities to pack far more power than consoles. However with the PS5, Sony are set to bridge the gap even further.
It will have a new eight-core AMD CPU based on AMD’s new 7nm Zen 2 architecture, and a custom GPU based on its new Radeon Navi hardware. These chips will bring huge benefits, including support for up to 8K graphics, ray tracing, and 3D audio.

What does this mean though? Well, in short, it means that the gaming experience on the PS5 should be tenfold to the PS4 in just about every single aspect.
The main thing which will please fans of sports titles such as 2K is the boost to loading screen times, which will be almost non-existent on Sony’s new super console.
Whilst we love the MyCAREER on 2K20, the loading times between scenes can be somewhat tedious. You won’t need to worry about this on the PS5, making those cinematic scenes even more impressive.
What does this mean for NBA 2K21?
You can expect NBA 2K21 to be released sometime in September if past editions are anything to go by, this means that PS4 users will have access to the game before the PS5 drops.
But when it does, it will be worth the wait. Whilst the graphics on 2K20 are pretty impressive, the power that the PS5 possess’ with it’s 8k graphics and ray tracing will allow developers such as 2KSports to create a hyper realistic environment and ensure that player’s faces look better than ever.
