PlayStation 30th Anniversary PS5, DualSense Restock Hits UK, US

Sony has begun restocking its highly sought-after PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection, including the PS5 Slim console and DualSense controllers in the original PlayStation grey color scheme, with early access granted exclusively to PlayStation Plus members. The collection, which celebrates 30 years since the original PlayStation launch, features nostalgic design elements such as the multi-colored PlayStation logo and original packaging style, and ships with collectible extras like posters and themed accessories. While the PS5 Slim bundle and DualSense controllers are available in the UK, US restocks currently focus on the DualSense controller, with some items like the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary edition not included in recent drops. PlayStation Plus membership has become a requirement for early purchase access, highlighting Sony's strategy to boost subscription engagement. Additionally, rumors suggest that the PlayStation 6 release may be pushed to 2029, supported by a planned 2026 PS5 Pro update incorporating AMD partnerships and advanced graphics technology, potentially extending the PS5 generation's longevity. This combination of limited edition restocks and delayed next-gen console launch indicates Sony's focus on maximizing the current generation's lifecycle and capitalizing on nostalgic appeal.
