Celebrating 30 Years of PlayStation with a Nostalgic Look – PlayStation.Blog

As we continue the celebrations to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the launch of the first PlayStation console, today we have a special gift that brings together the past and the present.

In honor of this wonderful milestone, we present our PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection.


Celebrating 30 years of PlayStation with a nostalgic look

The new limited edition designs pay tribute to 30 incredible years of gaming, a journey made possible by the passion and support of our fans and talented game developers. Reminiscent of the very first PlayStation console launched on December 3, 1994, this limited edition offering takes the original PlayStation color design and integrates it into the latest line of PS5 hardware products.

The PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection will be released on November 21st. There will be 12,300 units of the PlayStation 5 Pro Console – 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle available for customers to purchase, with limited edition numbers etched onto the unit. The number represents the month and date of the PlayStation console’s first launch.

We’ve had five incredible console generations since the launch of our very first PlayStation console. We’re proud of the innovations and experiences we’ve brought to the PlayStation community over the years, while staying on top of the latest technology as it’s advanced. In the early days, the pixel count was around 300,000, and now it’s over 8 million pixels for 4K on screen. In addition, stereo sound has evolved into surround sound – and now we’re using 3D audio. The game controller has also evolved, starting with buttons, then came the analogue stick and later vibration – and now we have haptics and even adaptive triggers. Everything we’ve done is to make PlayStation the best place to play. We believe the beginning of our journey is an important part of our history at Sony Interactive Entertainment, and that’s why we’re honouring this moment by bringing the original PlayStation design theme into the latest products for PS5 to commemorate the past 30 years. As we look to the future, we’ll continue to innovate as technology evolves, so you can enjoy every memorable moment as you continue your journey with PlayStation.

Check our 30th anniversary webpage regularly. We have even more fun activities planned in honor of our 30th anniversary.

We want to thank everyone for being a PlayStation fan over the past 30 years. There are many more great experiences to come and we look forward to the next 30 and beyond!
