The PS5 and Its Accessories Shine In Plenty of Official Images From Sony

Following the PS5 – The Future of gaming reveal event, Sony released a press kit with plenty of official images of its upcoming PS5 console.

[CaptainHenry916]

I just hope they have them in black or grey in the future

[darthv72]

Oh they will have other colors / themes available later on. They know there is a market for variants. Maybe they will even let you design your own controller.

[bouzebbal]

idea of designing your controller is stupid, tbh..
i was a bit sceptical into white console, but not that there is glossy black in it and the futuristic look i'm all in for a white model.
...it's same colors as PSVR.

[morganfell]

@bouzebbal,

Glad I am not the only one that was on that. I posted it earlier because it should seem obvious to most but the similarity has been missed by quite a few. Love the color scheme.

[Abriael]

All I know is that I can't unsee a white whale. 😂

[Atom666]

Damnit!

[RazzerRedux]

Huh? The console is white and black. Like a killer whale...maybe? I'm lost.

[Abriael]

RazzerRedux: looks like moby dick to me, white whale.

[Advocate90]

Moby Dick is a fictional (SPERM WHALE) who is the main antagonist in Herman Melville's 1851 novel... 🤔 White whales and sperm whales are not only two totally different species of whale but also they are different in color. LMFAO know what your talking about before trying to "diss". Thank you 😁

[Abriael]

@Advocate90: diss?

I can't care the less about the looks of a console. I look at my screen while I play games. This could be a literal sperm-shaped piece of plastic and I'd still buy it.

I simply found it funny, just like I found funny seeing a black fridge into the Xbox Series X.

[Army_of_Darkness]

Whatever it looks like, it's the most stylish looking console I've ever seen! And I'm loving it!

[Sprucegoose77]

Your mom walked in front of the TV while you were watching the reveal? That's sweet of her to visit you in the basement!

[Sayai jin]

I like the design and really like the headphones, but not crazy about the white.

[Prubar]

Funny I find this console to busy and the series x to simplified. Love the controller and accessories though.

[bouzebbal]

as i wrote above, i was a bit afraid it would be a square white box.. but it has some PSVR feel in it and that's okay.
it actually looks beast horizontally. looks somewhat different… i like that

[cell989]

I mean look at PS4. How many different color options for the controllers there are, and then there’s the theme based consoles. Plus there will probably be a pro and a slim down the line too.

[CaptainHenry916]

I would like a black PS5 down the line.

[The_Sage]

I'm with you Captain... I think it's a beautiful design, but all of my electronics, as well as my entertainment centers are black. I wish I could attach a pic.

[Tross]

I might be a little too fond of black. Well, if white is all that's available for pre-order I guess I'll have to make due.

[dumahim]

Agreed. I mean, I'm not going to not buy a console because of its looks, but I really don't like white electronics for the shelf.

[Wrex369]

Black and black or black and blue or nothing lmao

[NeoGamer232]

The interesting part was the deafening silence on PSVR.

Hopefully it will have its own event.

[THC CELL]

Ps vr is coming

[darthv72]

have no fear, the new camera should be a sign of good things to come for PSVR.

[tontontam0]

resident evil VIII feels like it will still support VR mode.

[Dfooster]

Hopefully psvr 2 doesn't need a camera as it's all inside the headset

[tontontam0]

"Hopefully psvr 2 doesn't need a camera as it's all inside the headset."

I'm hoping that we can use the current psvr on ps5.

[crazyCoconuts]

a couple of those games look like they were designed for VR. we may have to wait a year but i think it'll come.
i thought it was interesting that they released an upgraded camera as opposed to just supporting the existing 720p camera for existing PSVR sets. I wonder what their plan is there - will a camera still be needed for PSVR2?

[morganfell]

It isn't deafening silence. Sony already stated they did not wish to discuss the PSVR 2 until after the PS5 was launched. They acknowledged they are working on it and the current PSVR is compatible with the PS5 but anything of note will wait until later.

From Sony's Dominic Mallinson, "“There’s no reason for us to coincide it with a new console,” he explained. “From the point of view of the consumer, to be bombarded with many many things — oh, you have to buy this, you have to buy that — is a message that we don’t want to send. In some ways, it’s good to have a little breathing space between those things.”

That was from his talk at Collision where he discussed PSVR2 improvements such as resolution, field of view and even eye-tracking.

[ApocalypseShadow]

He's just reading into nothing Morgan. Sony schooled gamers today on how to present some games and a console.

Now, you see people picking through looking for something to hang onto.

Why would Sony talk about VR when, as they said and you said, would be a later topic.

It's like Sony speaks. But none of these people listen. Cerny spoke during GDC. But people didn't listen. It's like, "what's the point of language?" "What's the point of having ears?" Lol

But when you look at the hardware and accessories, they all match PSVR in color and futuristic possibilities.

[morganfell]

@Shadow,

I know and I know his post history. What I wrote wasn't for his benefit. There have been about 4 or 5 such posters on the forums tonight, obviously having issues caused by the show...while the rest of the gaming community is absolutely and rightfully stunned.

[Hakuoro]

ApocalypseShadow

Seriously, they are throwing crap at the wall all over the site trying to see what will stick.

[NeoGamer232]

@morganfell
I felt Sony did really good today. And I didn't see PSVR as an accessory. Did not know they said they weren't going to talk about it anytime soon.

There is nothing wrong with any post I have made on the PS5 show. They were just what I thought. In one post I rated the event 8/10. Another one, I cannot wait for GT, so you can't really say I am "having issues" or "I know his post history". That is a bunch of stupid BS. I compliment and take shots at both MS and Sony all the time on forums if you look through my history. I didn't see PSVR and even said hopefully, it will have its own event.

The only thing I really didn't like and it is a gripe I have with every console vendor... Is that very few of the games had solid delivery dates. I have learned from game cancellations, games not living up to expectations, and games that have literally taken many years after the first announce (The Agent, Last Guardian, Fable Legends, Scalebound, The Order, Duke Nukem Forever, Crackdwn 3, etc, etc.) to see through every console vendor's hype. XB's showcase was bad at that, and so was Sony's. No ship dates for over 3/4 of the games shown by both of them. To me that is sad. It is just marketing hype to get you to buy the console as quick as possible simply to play Spider-man, Playroom, and a few other launch games (I feel these games will be fine, but is it worth shelling out $399 or $499 just to play them this year when next year the console may be $100 cheaper and have a deeper catalogue?).

I did also talk about the two editions. and there was nothing wrong with the post, just facing reality for the cost of the new console. And it will probably be the same for XSX. I don't see these consoles as cheap ones and that is also going to play into my purchasing decision.

I have no problems with people being excited after the show and I am happy that when I pick up a PS5 and XSX they should both be piling up games. But, frankly, I am not sure that there is a reason to buy either console on day one this year. There is hype, and then there is the reality of what they are delivering and the value it has, so far neither Sony or MS has given me a reason that I need to buy the console day one.

[Gaming4Life1981]

I'm positive they are not abandoning psvr, probably didn't want to overwhelm people with to much hardware.

[dumahim]

I think it was said a long time ago they would come out with a new VR a while after the launch.
Also, current VR hardware still works on PS5.

[Clover904]

PSVR is going to be a match made in heaven with PS5's super-fast ssd. Cannot wait. Perfhaps PSVR2 will release alongside Resident Evil VIII :)

[yeahokwhatever]

the super powerful sound processing + vr is going to be great.

[JesusBuiltmyHotrod]

LOL they were never going to announce PS VR 2 at a PS5 reveal, it will come later and have it's own thuing.

[CaptainHenry916]

Angry Joe impression 😁

https://youtu.be/OCULRtWzDs...

[Atticus_finch]

I can't lie. I was acting the same way during the entire reveal.

[Muzikguy]

"A THREE!" 😂😂

This reveal was great. I really hope to hear a price in the not too distant future

[sampsonon]

Who cares.

[Relientk77]

I watched this last night, good video. Love Angry Joe

[DragonWarrior19]

So glad they finally showed it laying on it's side. I know vertical is for flashy marketing but ever since the 360/ps3...even PS2 encouraged vertical standing it has always looked awful and scratched discs to hell. Don't know how many times at gamestop I would lecture people to stop doing that when they brought back their games with that horrible circle scratch.

[DrDeath]

Vertical is fine. You just couldn't move the early PlayStations while they were turned on spinning a disc.

[DragonWarrior19]

True but I am sure you certainly know the amount of idiots that do anyway.

[blackblades]

I wonder how strong the edge are, looks like it can be broken off. Not feeling the drive being at the bottom but if it help keeps the system cool and quite then I'm fine with it but I do prefer the digital looks though. Also makes we wnna flash forward to the slim design.

[MecheSlays]

Yeah, im not vibing with that hump for the BluRay Drive. Digital just looks symmetrical and much better to me.

[dumahim]

Maybe if you drop it off of a shelf or really smack it with something, but at that point I'd be worried about other parts than just some plastic on the edges.

[yeahokwhatever]

i wouldnt hold my breath for a slim. not saying it wont ever happen, but the chipset is already 7nm. its going to be quite the task to get a super cutting edge set smaller than it is. I remember cerny talking early on about the custom cooling solution and how the system is designed to run fast without getting overly noisy or anything. (it wont sound like a harrier like the ps4 pro does when playing Dreams, for example).

[yeahokwhatever]

nothing is just going to break off, but cleaning it is going to be a chore with the textured flaps. lol

[The_Sage]

For all those wondering if it could be laid horizontal.

[blackblades]

Yeah but it'll have to be on the black stand thing at the bottom.

[Muzikguy]

I'm glad too because eat first I was wondering where I would even put it. Vertical consoles look nice but finding a place for them is tough.

[The_Sage]

I used to always lay mine horizontal, but since I got my PS4 I have that and my PS3 standing up bottom to bottom on top of my entertainment center that I built. I wish we could attach pics here. On 1up.com I got pretty good at HTML where such things could be done.

[Master of Unlocking]

It's the other way around actually, for me at least, finding a place for my PS4 Pro behind my TV was a tad difficult, which is why I had to buy that 20$ stand... and also because that's how the system was advertised and it looks a lot more elegant in vertical position, of course.

[rlow1]

I like the design very forward looking. Sony has always done a good job on design with their products.....of course minus the phones.

[Master of Unlocking]

Except for the PS3 Slim, that thing almost looks like one of those ultra-cheap chinese knock-offs. And don't get me started on the PS3 Super Slim...
But the PS3 60GB sku sure was a thing of beauty, and so is the PS5, yes, it's a very bold design and it's refreshing to see that kind of take.

[DOMination-]

Sonys console designs have been largely terrible. Luckily it doesn't matter what they look like. PS5 looks real neat though and with those curves it should age nicely.

[SamTheGamer]

Terrible? What are you talking about?

[DOMination-]

Its not a criticism, but Sony have a history of making products that look dull, boring or corporate even. The PS5 is pretty left field for them.

Look at their NC Headphones. Best in class at their price point. A genuinely exceptional piece of kit. But they look pretty terrible.

PS2 is arguably tue best console ever. But its also very ugly. Thays okay, it doesn't matter. My point is merely that this is a departure for them. And its a nice looking thing.

[Fist4achin]

I know i will be downvoted for saying this, but it looks really long. With the controller near the front of it, it looks like it will be about 3 controllers next to each other. I hope the scale of my vision for the size will be off.

Yes, i will be picking one up. Ive been a sony supporter since the OG...

[OB1Biker]

Yes long is good. It actually looks powerful.

[RosweeSon]

So amazon were spot on then 1/2TB disc drives 🤔🧐🤦
27995;‍♂️🥴

[Atticus_finch]

Damn Sony, that is one sexy console.

[MetroidFREAK21]

Anyone else dislike the design of the console? The games they showed today on the other hand were excellent

[ElementX]

I'm not a big fan of curves, on people or consoles, and I'm not a big fan of fins, on people or consoles. I think it would look sweet as a rectangular box. But I will say this, the design is better than the other console, I like the two tone, but not the white on the controller due to dirt and skin oils. I understand the shape of the other console is due to ventilation, but I prefer slimmer consoles. The games looked impressive.

[russo121]

There are people that likes consoles, others fridges. 8)

[Kurisu]

I like it, personally. I've got a white PS4 so it's nice to have a white model available from launch without having to wait for a release later.

[Muzikguy]

The Angry Joe video says what many probably think is that the Series X console "fits better" with current entertainment centers. I really like the PS5 design though and would much rather have something that's not an ugly looking box. The 2 consoles when on their sides have such a big difference

[dumahim]

I'm with Joe on this. I mean, it's an interesting design, but man that thing is going to stick out.

[Muzikguy]

@dumahim

That's the idea. A fridge would stick out too, but some people didn't mind the extremely large OG Xbox either.

[Veneno]

I'm the reverse. The hardware reveal, and all the accessories, were my absolute highlight of the show. Although impressive, none of the games lit my world on fire.

[boing1]

I'm sure it'll look better in person. It's always the case with new hardware.

[ocelot07]

Don't like the way it looks while it's on it side (disk version). But ill be having it standing up anyway. Just debating do I go digital edition or disk.

[Kurisu]

Disk is the safe option. Go digital and you're tied to PS Store pricing. Some PS4 games already push £60. In reality the PS5 digital edition will cost you more money in the long run.

[blackblades]

Yeah the safe option, also 4k player.

[HICK]

If you can't afford something unless you use credit then you can't afford it. Maybe you should rethink your financial priorities and get responsible.

[kayoss]

I need a 4K blu player so I’m going to get this for my main house and get a digital for my other home.

[Kurisu]

I wish I had your finances. I'll just about afford one PS5 and that'll be thanks to credit!

[medman]

I've always bought my games physical, but next gen I'm going digital primarily. I will still buy the version with the disc drive because I buy 4k blu rays for movies I really like.

[kayoss]

I'm a big collector of physical movies (only movies that i like). I had over 3500 DVD's and blu rays which includes foreign and domestic movies, but i want to transition them to 4k Blu rays (at least whatever is available in 4K). I like to keep physical games that i like. Believe it or not, i still have about 200 plus PS1, PS2, and PS3 physical games stored my game room.

[Universal 08]

Honestly it looks like a PS3 got warped on the top side. Glad sony finally showed it but I'm actually underwhelmed.

[tontontam0]

I'm 100% sure that sony expected this "router" reaction from the bashers, but I'm glad they went ahead with the design,I think the decision to push through this design was because of the boring design of xbox series x, it looks like one of those air humidifiers that spews scented smoke in the air. A few years ago many things have shifted to minimalistic design and I think people are getting tired of that minimalistic shit.

I'm sure that many are pleased with the design. No matter what sony do to the design is going to be bashed simply because of preference.

[jznrpg]

Can’t please everyone , but Sony has good games and a lot of variety at launch even if they don’t like the design (I love it ) I’ll get launch and probably a themed or different color for the OLED TV in my living room later on . Launch for my basement C9

[Immagaiden]

Long live physical gaming

[InklingGirl]

Hope there’s a black version because a console under my TV has to match.

[Gaming4Life1981]

Nice I wanted an in depth look at everything.

[Yodasfavoritesoda]

Very futuristic!

[GreatSako2020]

Is the camera Astrobot?

[andyo13]

With this design, they’re moving away from a do it all media box, and doubling down on its gaming strengths. Otherwise this is a hideous blu ray player, but an awesome gaming console.

[TheGamez100]

Oh so you can lay it down on the side lol. They didn't really show the right side to us in that reveal. And ofc they don't show the back side and i/o.

[chiefJohn117]

Looks better vertical

[itsmebryan]

If the pictures showing scale is true. It's pretty large. I wonder what the actual size is?

[Hakuoro]

You mean those fake pictures where the PS5 controller is 40_% larger than the Xbox controller...

obviously fake.

[NeedleEye]

Not really a fan of that design. At least the digital version is symmetrical, but I will get the one with the blue-ray drive regardless.

[Charal]

The remote makes it return, great.
That was very convinrent on PS3 when used that what BR.
I’m eager to see the inside now.

[dumahim]

On the one hand, FINALLY an official Sony media remote instead of the licensed garbage of the last two generations. But on the other, it's so minimalistic, it seems some functions are going to need to be handled with an on-screen menu or just not supported at all.

[kingPoS]

I want those headphones.

Gateway MT6706 2008

[Promachos]

Digital version for me

[waverider]

the console design is great. It is funny to see all salt from the other team. Trying to find crap to say. Yesterday you cant change the position, only top.... its white... This after an impressive digital presentation.

[Stanjara]

THAT LOOK GOOD!!!

[ChristopherJack]

Why a white controller? They require more maintenance to continue looking good.

[ninsigma]

Oh man that's gonna be so much money being put down on this! Extra controller, the charging doc, the headphones for 3D audio and the camera for VR! I didn't like money anyway....

[Father__Merrin]

The consoles and accessories all look uniform this is no doubt a playstation. And this is no doubt what most people will choose as their next gen system.

I'm finding the fake anguish over how it looks and how babies won't be buying it now lol you have to get used to it. This is what every1 wants to buy

[Angrymorgan]

Cant wait...looks like a reverse oreo

[cyberFUTUR3]

One console to gather them all. https://abload.de/img/ps5us...

[anubusgold]

It looks like a Decepticon i dont trust it lol.

[Wontime1]

Shouldve went with the devkit design.
Better cooling.
Had the Roman numeral 5 carved right into it

[lnfiniteLoop]

only in white? not very politicly correct is it... get on board, hurry up with the other colours...

[TommyVercetti88]

The PS5 would look better if the black part was chromed out. I already can see the blue light reflecting off it. I hope that in the future Sony releases a White marble/Chrome edition PS5 with a 2tb SSD.

[Somedudeoverhere]

opposite rectangular oreo

[darklaw]

2 USB ports? I was hoping to have 4 like the dev kit

[Wontime1]

Can we address the elephant in the room pls, and discuss how they really rolled out gtaV at this event

[Necr0philiac]

Wow. I didn't think it would be that much bigger then the series X. PS5 is almost as big as an Atari 5200

[Father__Merrin]

Big babys everywhere won't buy a ps5 because its not black.....carry on putting playstation down it will come to bite you back once the consoles are out there.

Can't wait to finally have one

[OzzY-waZZy]

I wonder how good the those headsets will be. Don't know whether to get those or a different brand to fully get the tempest experience.

[Einhander1971]

Love the white to compliment my white ps4 and ps3.

[Yppupdam]

Looks like the console looks were designed by Frank Gehry.

[Veneno]

This site is horrendous to navigate on mobile. I can't even see the images the ads are so big.

[Fuzzybacon]

what are the slots on the bottom. I see the usb-c and usb-a.

[SaveFerris]

I don't really have a problem with the look of the console, but I'll be hoping Sony offer a different colour scheme or special edition down the line.

[Wilwon]

I'm sure there will be some nice third party decals if the white is too much

[NextGenCeo]

Big Question. Do we need Playstation 3D Headset for 3D Audio? Because i know 3D Audio chip inside PS5 and those 3D Headset from Playstation it's just stereo headset.

So wired or wireless do i need to get Playstation Pulse 3D headset?

[kingPoS]

I use my platinum headsets every day using an inline mic when outside and in wireless mode inside.

Also, if you plug the headset's dongle into a usb adapter on an android phone, it can be used wirelessly. Sadly you can't use the built in mic to take phone calls as they weren't designed with that in mind. On the upside it works with even the OG headset & the pulse elite's.

Gateway MT6706 2008

[1nsomniac]

Not a big fan of the white to be honest I would prefer it to be subtle like the XBX. I am really looking forward to trying out those headphones.

I really wish they would of got rid of the dongle though.

[ThaBx]

It looks ugly

[Kerrian]

The design was on spot. An expression of Parametric Architecture. Clean, slick and elegant. Sony's design team went freestyle and minimalistic at the same time.

[Juvia]

Day 1. What a beautiful design!

[dash86]

like the design and really like

[Sprucegoose77]

Those headphones look sick!

[marioJP87]

1080p camera on a 4K console? SMH. 😔

[AK91]

I'm more interested in the BC compatibility and of course the price.
