Report suggests PS5 will launch November 13

The Xbox Series X might have a two week head start on the PS5

The PS5 will launch in mid November this year, just in time for Christmas spending, a VGC report indicates.

Sources in development and retail told VGC that Sony has booked a week of “significant” marketing beginning on Friday November 13th - which might indicate the date of the console’s release.

Sony has yet to confirm a launch window for the PS5, while chief rival Microsoft has bookmarked the month of November for its Xbox Series X. According to VGC, however, developers have been told to plan for a Series X launch in the first week of November - and staff at Xbox expect the PS5 to show up in the week beginning November 13th. That would give Microsoft a minor head start on sales.
