Sony has delayed hosting a showcase event for its next games console.
In a statement it didn’t directly mention the civil unrest in the US, but alluded to it saying, “we do not feel that right now is a time for celebration”, adding it wanted “more important voices to be heard”.
The firm was set to unveil some of the games in development for its forthcoming PlayStation 5 on Thursday.
Hours later, Activision delayed the release of new Call of Duty content, saying “now is not the time” to launch new seasons for its online battle-royale first- person shooter Modern Warfare: Warzone and smartphone app Call of Duty: Mobile.
It was expected that both free-to-play products would launch this week, presenting the firm a fresh opportunity to sell character outfits and other in-game items.
