Recently, Sony hosted a special PlayStation 5 event for Japanese YouTubers and press to get a hands-on look with the PlayStation 5. The next-generation console unit itself was out in the open to view, where it could be filmed and high-res photos shot. (Click on the photos to enlarge.)
Like the PS4, the PS5 console itself can light up in white or blue colors.
Here you can see how the PS5 console will be lit when powering off/powering down:
Of course, the PS5’s DualSense controller was present, and now we have a closer look of it from all side. (Again, click to enlarge.)
Looking closer, the analog sticks feature a crisscross textured outer ring, which looks to provide more grip than those of the PS4 DualShock 4 controllers.
Meanwhile, the PS button on the DualSense does not have a circular shape, and instead is cut to the shape of the logo.
4Gamer remarked the PlayStation “PS” home button is easier to press than it appears.
Japanese press noted how cool and quiet the PS5 ran during their demo time with the console. This partially is due to the blazing fast SSD running inside the PS5.
You can watch Japanese YouTubers hands-on impressions with the PS5, featuring games such as Astro’s Playroom, Balan Wonderland, Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition, and Godfall.
What do you think of the look of the PS5 console and controller?
