EA has shared its thoughts on the next-gen consoles like PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, and the company said that what it’s capable of on those platforms will “blow people’s minds.”
During an investor call for EA’s Fiscal 2020 Q3, EA’s leadership team was asked about their plans for next-gen consoles. While EA declined to share any specific details like game titles or announcements, EA appears bullish on the generational leap that will come with the next wave of hardware.

“The power of the new consoles is gonna be substantially greater than existing consoles,” said EA CFO Blake Jorgensen during the call. “We can do a lot more [with PS5 and Xbox Series X]. Things we’re doing will blow people’s minds.”

Jorgensen also said there’s going to be so much “innovation” not just from EA but from the whole industry. Not only with more sophisticated games but even the creation of new genres.
While EA declined to share what kinds of games or experiences it’s developing for next-gen consoles, the quote seems to indicate that the technology leap between current-gen consoles like PlayStation 4 and Xbox One to next-gen is greater than previously anticipated.

Jorgensen also said there’s going to be so much “innovation” not just from EA but from the whole industry. Not only with more sophisticated games but even the creation of new genres.

This is the reason why the 'must also work on Xbox One' decree is such a bad move for all the Microsoft Game Studios software houses.

Next gen isn't just about sharper rendering, it's far more sophisticated than that, and developers shouldn't be held back by old tech that wasn't even cutting edge in 2013.

Not meant as a console war thing, but the fact that now the Switch can run some current gen games means we are fucking ready to move on, lol.

I agree with you tho. When ND said that UC4 was using 90 percent of the PS4’s power I was like “really, this early?”

Yeah well if some game using just some XX% of the hw power, than they suck, especially with 30FPS title. But I heard this shit since PS3, so it's not like it's surprising. What do they do? Specifically runs game on less cores?
