To celebrate PlayStation’s 30 years in the game, Sony unveiled nostalgia-tinged redesigns of both the PS5 and the upcoming PS5 Pro, featuring classic gray colorways, old-school logos, similarly styled DualSense controllers, and retro-designed cables. The PS5 Pro bundle includes a standard controller, a DualSense Edge, a retro cover for the optional disc drive, and a charging stand, with the PlayStation Portal also getting a 1994 colorway. Pre-orders begin on September 26 through the company and select retailers, with a launch date of November 21. Sony’s redesigns tap into childhood gaming memories and early impressions indicate the PS5 Pro could offer significant leaps in game engine performance. Meanwhile, at the in-person fan event for Geeked Week, Netflix teased upcoming seasons of popular shows like Avatar: The Last Airbender and Squid Game, along with new clips for One Piece, Wednesday, Splinter Cell, Devil May Cry, and more. YouTube is now utilizing paused video screens for advertising, prompting mixed reactions from viewers. Additionally, a documentary about Oprah Winfrey that was slated for Apple TV+ has been pulled back by Winfrey herself, marking the end of her multi-year deal with the platform.
