At Sony, we look to the future while keeping an eye on the past. While the Japanese brand has just released its PS5 Pro, a console resolutely designed to accommodate the gourmet games of tomorrow, it is also banking on the charm of the old with its entire range of consoles and accessories released in the colors of the PS One to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the famous machine. That's obviously not all. History that all PS5 owners participate in the party, the manufacturer has just deployed a small update which should delight fans of the Japanese giant.

Indeed, when you start the PlayStation 5, the boot screen pays homage to that of the very first PlayStation released in 1994, the one proudly displaying a Sony Computer Entertainment logo. Want more? So go to the settings of your console, go to the 30 years of PlayStation section and you will find different options allowing you to change the themes (appearance, sounds) in order to transform your PS5 into PS One, PS2, PS3 and even PS4 . Here's a nice surprise! Unfortunately, please note that these items dedicated to the brand's anniversary are only available for a limited time. On social networks, fans are imploring Sony to leave these customization elements permanently, and to tell the truth, it is difficult to see what would prevent the Japanese manufacturer from not responding favorably to their request. Wait & see.
Surprise party
This new home screen as well as the themes dedicated to old PlayStations are part of a vast communication operation from Sony in order to celebrate the 30 years of existence of its very first machine. In addition to the advertising that is running everywhere, limited versions of the PS5, PS5 Pro, PS Portal and DualSense have appeared. The Japanese group is also offering big promotions on around 500 PlayStation 4 and 5 titles, valid for the next few days. In the lot, we find well-known names such as Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, Death Stranding, Dragon Ball, Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy, God of War, Spider-Man, Persona, Red Dead Redemption, Star Wars, Hogwarts Legacy, Uncharted, GTA 5 and many others. Now might be a good time to spend a few euros.
