“The power of the new consoles will be substantially greater than that of existing consoles,” said EA CFO Blake Jorgensen. “We can do a lot more [with the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X]! What we’re doing will move people’s minds.”
According to Jorgensen, there will be a lot of “innovation”, not just from EA but from the overall industry of games. In fact, not only with more sophisticated games but also with the creation of new genres. Technologies like ray-tracing will give a new level of depth to the scenarios with realistic light effects. Moreover, the use of SSDs will greatly reduce loading times that often breaks the immersion. With the next consoles, the industry can create new Open World games with a new level of realism.
