The PS5 is poised to release worldwide in a few months, yet we still don’t have a release date or pricing information, and it looks like we may not be getting any information on the latter for a while. According to Executive Vice President at Blizzard, Mike Ybarra, who previously was one of the heads at Xbox, the price of the PS5 won’t be revealed anytime soon. Ybarra doesn’t divulge any specifics beyond this, but the information is enough to have some PlayStation fans disappointed.

The snippet of information comes way of Ybarra’s personal Twitter account, where he revealed as much while interacting with a fan on the social media platform. Ybarra doesn’t disclose much, but simply notes that PS5’s “price won’t be known for a while, unfortunately.” Ybarra doesn’t say how he knows this information, but as an executive of one of the biggest companies in gaming and as a former lead at Xbox, he presumably is privy to information most aren’t.

Of course, this information should be taken with a grain of salt, like any unofficial information. However, this isn’t a random Reddit poster or a 4chan leaker. This is one of the heads of Blizzard.

The PlayStation 5 is scheduled to release worldwide sometime this holiday season at an unknown price point. That said, according to recent scuttlebutt, reports, and rumors, we may get some of this information sometime later this month. Yet again, Ybarra’s tweet suggests otherwise, though “a while” is pretty vague and subjective.
