Sony is committed to making its gaming products more environmentally friendly, starting with the upcoming PlayStation 5 more energy-efficient sleep mode.

Jim Ryan, president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, announced the plan as part of play for the Earth, which aims to make the gaming industry more sustainable.

To make PS5 more energy efficient, it will use an on-chip integrated system, in which components are fixed on a single substrate, and it will also provide an energy-efficient RAM hang mode. In this way, users can pause the game on the device with much less power (about 0.5W) than the previous PS4.

If 1 million car owners decide to use this energy-saving feature, Sony estimates that it will save electricity equivalent to the average electricity consumption of 1000 households in the United States.

The company also announced that nearly 16 million tons of carbon emissions have been avoided so far through environmental protection, and that figure is expected to increase to 29 million tons in the next 10 years. In addition to the more energy-efficient consoles, Sony is also studying the carbon footprint of its gaming services and evaluating energy efficiency measures in its data centers.

With increased public awareness of the environment, Sony is just trying to become a large climate-neutral technology company. Amazon signed a climate pledge and promised to use green energy, while Google invested heavily in renewable energy. Facebook is also transitioning to renewable energy sources such as solar and wind to power its operations.

We don't know when PlayStation 5 will be released, but we do know that it is not only greener but also more powerful than PS4, with the new AMD Ruilong CPU and custom GPU. It will provide backward compatibility with PS4 games and PlayStation VR, and load faster because it uses solid state drives instead of hard drives. In addition, the good news for graphics nerds is that PS5 will support RayTracing for clear rendering.
