The PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection will be released on November 21st. There will be 12,300 units of the limited edition PlayStation 5 Pro 30th Anniversary Console Bundle available for customers to purchase. The limited edition numbers are engraved into the unit. The number represents the month and date of the PlayStation console's first release.

Since the launch of our very first PlayStation console, we've experienced five amazing console generations. We're proud of the innovations and experiences we've brought to the PlayStation community over the years as we've kept pace with the latest technology. In the early days, the number of pixels was around 300,000, today it's more than 8 million pixels for 4K on screen. In addition, stereo sound evolved to surround sound – and now we use 3D audio. 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 start of our journey is an important part of our history at Sony Interactive Entertainment, which is why we're honoring this moment by bringing the original PlayStation design theme into the latest products for PS5 to commemorate the last 30 years. Looking to the future, we will continue to innovate as technology evolves so you can enjoy every unforgettable moment of your continued PlayStation journey.

Be sure to check our 30th Anniversary website regularly as we will be offering more fun celebrations the closer we get to our 30th anniversary.

We would like to thank everyone for being a PlayStation fan over the last 30 years. There are still many great experiences ahead and we look forward to the next 30 years and beyond!
