“We’ve had five fantastic console generations since the launch of our very first PlayStation console,” co-CEO Hideaki Nishino wrote on the PS Blog. “We’re proud of the innovations and experiences we’ve brought to the PlayStation community over the years as we kept up with the latest technology as it advanced.

“In the early days, the number of pixels was around 300-thousand, and now it is more than 8 million pixels for 4K on screen. Additionally, stereo sound evolved into surround sound – and now we are 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 ensure PlayStation is the best place to play. We believe the beginning of our journey is an important part of our history at Sony Interactive Entertainment, which is why we are honouring this moment by bringing the original PlayStation design theme into the latest products for PS5 to commemorate the last 30 years. As we look ahead to the future, we will continue to innovate as technology evolves, so you can enjoy each memorable moment in your continued journey with PlayStation.”

Sony previously announced plans to commemorate PlayStation’s upcoming 30th anniversary with a variety of products, including a special free-to-play version of Gran Turismo 7, a variety of classic soundtracks, and even a slate of products inspired by the brand’s iconic shape symbols.
