Sony is celebrating 30 years of PlayStation consoles and to mark the occasion, the company has announced PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection that includes PS5 consoles, DualSense controllers, PlayStation Portal and more in a new design that pays homage to the early years of PlayStation. As part of the collection, PS5 Pro and PS5 Digital Edition consoles come in a dark and light gray colourway, akin to the first PlayStation console launched in 1994. The Collection will be available in limited supply, with pre-orders beginning September 26.
