Sony has released a special software update and limited edition products to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the PlayStation. Elements from the original boot screen sounds have been brought back, and are receiving a hot response from players.
For a limited time, you can change the start screen of your PlayStation 5 to an early PlayStation theme. Players can choose between themes from each generation, from PS1 to PS4, as well as a special 30th Anniversary theme. The color and sound of the PS5 dashboard will also change depending on the theme you choose. The theme can be changed in the 'PlayStation 30th Anniversary' settings, and players who have automatic updates enabled can already use the new theme.
In addition to this update, Sony has also revealed a limited edition 30th anniversary PS5 Pro console bundle. The limited edition console features original PS design elements and legacy colors, and is limited to 12,300 units worldwide. The bundle includes a PS5 Pro console, a DualSense Edge wireless controller, a disc drive cover, and an original PS controller-style cable connector. Each console is individually numbered.
Sony has released a video featuring key scenes from past PS masterpieces to celebrate its 30th anniversary. A commemorative sale is underway until December 20, offering a variety of games and content at discounted prices. You can check out the list of games included in the sale on the PlayStation Store.
