A photograph of what is purported to be the PlayStation 5 has apparently emerged online, although it appears to originate from a Discord server before being shared on the popular ResetEra forums. The image does seem to be authentic, although with coronavirus limiting travel around the world, it’s unclear whether Sony engineers even have access to the production line yet. Group boss Jim Ryan has explicitly said in recent interviews that it’s been forced to finalise the manufacturing process remotely.
Nevertheless, if this is legit then there can be no denying the PS5 is a tall device, but it’s also significantly shallower than we’d expected. In fact, it looks quite attractive from this angle in our opinion.
Again, though, the big question is whether it’s real or not. We’ll contact the platform holder and try to get some clarification.

I'm not saying it's fake, but even a picture of that quality should be able to show curves on the outer shell right?
The photo is genuine, but sadly that's just the memory card
I am no expert but if you zoom in on the logo, there is a lot noise around it and there is a rectangle of this same noise at the top
Edit: it is fake I believe. Run it through http://fotoforensics.com/ and you will see a very clearly drawn box
Either the PS5 is massive or those Sony workers are tiny. Or it's a completely blag pic.
Can't wait to get my hands on one of those things....
That's just the new PlayStation Sneeze Shield
Why it is so Simple Rectangular?
@ApostateMage
To be honest they do look very short. Personally I think it looks good in this angle, but as someone else said in the comments it doesn't appear to be curvy but maybe it is just the reveal images that make it look more curvy
Its fake....................no really
You know something went wrong when a flat rectangle with a logo looks better than the promo shots.
I think it’s fake, the logo looks really quite dodgy zoomed in. It also looks nothing like the console.
Isn't the PS5 a lot more curved than that? We've also seen it next to the controller and it wasn't that big
I'm quite partial to think its real either its me or the side on the right is slightly curved. Wider at the top.
Looks way too flat.
Probably fake.
If it was real wouldn't those workers already be fired out of existence?
The size looks legit but these guys are making a weird face haha
Edit
If by 'shallower' you mean not as deep as the ps4, yes it is. Horizontally its wider but shallower and good for a shelf / entertainment centre.
And it's a beauty
Faked. http://fotoforensics.com/analysis.php?id=c6f121613f7ca1968cc12a17b04aecd8e44df7ae.99432
It doesn't look real too me, looks like a more oblong book shape, where the PS5 has curved white side panels.
Maybe this is the box it comes in.
Looks like a Dev Kit
@Yaycandy What am I looking at?
@Yaycandy You should explain what we should be looking for, so the console looks more solid in the second pic. Those that mean it was Photoshoped or is supposed to be something else?
@Gremio108 Or the power brick perhaps?
@Gremio108 glad I wasn’t sipping coffee reading your comment or it would have gone everywhere! 😂
Is this article for real? This has to be a joke, right?
@Juanalf my bad, means it was added overtop the original picture noise. If it was real it would be pretty fuzz like the rest of the picture like some of the square background items. Reflections on right side were edited over also.
Yeah, finally got round to looking at the picture and it's faker than Greg Miller's enthusiasm at an EA conference.
I'm getting the Xbox series X NEXT gen. Multiplayer has been way more enjoyable on the Xbox than PS. That's something I've noticed as I've played both current gen consoles. Xbox have more mature grown up players as opposed to the majority of small kids playing PS whose mothers have bought them a PS because that's all they have ever known. Plus look at the size of the PS gigantic. And will have hardware issues probably.
@Lionheart5 funny, at the end of the PS360 era I heard the exact same comments in reverse. It was Xbox Live that was littered with trash talking brats and immature losers. Maybe, and bear with me here, but maybe the online community of the most popular system is likely to contain the bigger proportion of *****. If the XSX becomes the most popular prepare to be disappointed is all I'm saying.
@Lionheart5 Congrats you know there is a Xbox site where you can be a ###.
@Lionheart5
Both are infested with morons and the worst of the the lot are usual " mature " players . Kids will be kids but the worst and most nasty are adults
For what I've seen it's the opposite with parents buying Xbox for there children.
Also as the other poster said it the Xbox becomes the most popular next gen prepare for disappointment as it will have highest number of idiots.
In other news, why did playstation youtube pull the spiderman miles morales trailer? I seen some other accounts pulled it also. Still some on there. Not a big deal, just weird.
@Lionheart5 Your comment makes you sound young, immature, ignorant and like a fanboy.
@OmegaStriver how can I be a fanboy when I own both consoles and I'm basing my opinion on what I've experienced using both consoles?. Fact that you can't take a criticism of PS makes you the fanboy not me. Whether you like it or not, the PS is full of small children who kill the online experience on the PS. I've used both platforms and that's what I have noticed.
Gawd allmighty why does every comments section have hand bags at dawn....................Grow up people have opinions why the squabbling?
jeez
@Lionheart5
@OmegaStriver
Stop calling random people 'fanboy' guys. Or 'children' for that matter. It's not nice.
Going console wars here is completely off topic and just a cool story anyway.
@Lionheart5 Yet, the vast majority that I happen to randomly play with across games tend to be 20 and above. Maybe you are just unlucky.
So on topic , it looks like it might be real then. I hope so.
It seems very flat to be an actual PS5.
I've looked at the FotoForensics image which suggests fake.
But TinEye returns no similar images which may have been the source for the fake.
Have to wonder what the motive is behind this if it is fake. The environment seems to fit. Definitely seems like somewhere that electronic devices are made. Guessing they are wearing the same shoes because they are anti-static.
@SirAngry I agree, i saw that pitiful excuse of a conference and he's just phoning it in.
Every image I've seen seems to show the PS5 gets slightly more narrow near the top, not a perfect square
The psvr and the ps4 came in a box within a box. This could most likely be that inner box and NOT the PS5 hardware itself.
Can already tell that's fake from event the thumbnail before I opened the article. Console is curved this is a box. Maybe it's the Xbox Series S and they put a PS logo on it with photoshop
Its just front case guys.
