Over the course of five incredible console generations, starting with our first PlayStation launch, we’ve consistently provided groundbreaking innovations and captivating experiences to our cherished PlayStation community. As technology progressed, we’ve remained at the forefront, ensuring that our offerings stayed relevant and cutting-edge. In the beginning, screen resolutions were limited to about 300,000 pixels, but today, they exceed 8 million for stunning 4K displays. Furthermore, the evolution of sound has taken us from stereo to surround, and now we’re utilizing advanced 3D audio technologies.

The game controller has also evolved, starting with buttons, then came the analog 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 honoring 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.
