Keep in mind the 20th anniversary limited edition PlayStation 4? No, I didn't get one, both. However what if Sony had been to port that very same candy retro look from the PS1 to the PS5? Look no additional than the farewell present which SIE (Sony Interactive Leisure) President and CEO Jim Ryan — who’s retiring in March 2024 — acquired yesterday.
In a photograph posted by Yuichi Haga, the World Variety, Fairness, Inclusion Lead at SIE, the "one in all a form" PS5 console — not the slim model — was custom-made with the PS1's retro grey end, together with the traditional quad-color "PS" brand. Even the DualSense controller was given a DualShock 1 makeover, full with a cable and a cute plug cowl that goes over the PS5's entrance USB-C port. Ryan's crew went the additional mile to make a particular packaging design — one which pays homage to the PS1's field artwork.

At yesterday's thank-you social gathering, the outgoing PlayStation boss was honored by many trade legends, together with the "father of PlayStation" Ken Kutaragi, Gran Turismo's Kazunori Yamauchi, Group Asobi's Nicolas Doucet and, after all, Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida. PlayStation's BAFTA-winning indies lead, Shuhei Yoshida, was notably absent as he needed to attend The Sport Awards (whereas nabbing the "Video games for Impression" award on behalf of Awaceb, the developer behind indie title, Tchia).
It's unclear as as to whether us mere mortals will get to personal a model of this particular version PS5, however contemplating that it'll be PlayStation's thirtieth anniversary subsequent 12 months, maybe Sony will think about making one for the PS5 Slim then?
