Jim Ryan, CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, has received an exclusive PS1 style PlayStation 5 as a token of appreciation ahead of his retirement, sparking envy on social media. This unique PS5 mimics the original PlayStation's design with a classic two-tone grey color scheme, a matching DualSense controller with traditional colored buttons, and a special USB-C cable reminiscent of the old DualShock cables. Additionally, Sony provided a retro-styled PlayStation 5 box to complete the nostalgic homage. Fans, recalling the limited edition 20th Anniversary PS4, are clamoring for Sony to release a similar limited-edition PS5, especially with the 30th anniversary upcoming in 2024. Despite the high demand, this PS5 remains a one-of-one creation, not available for purchase.

Will Sony release a limited edition PS1 style PlayStation 5 for the 30th anniversary?

While Sony has not officially announced plans to release a PS1-themed PS5, fan demand and previous releases—like the 20th Anniversary PS4—suggest it could be a possibility for the PlayStation's 30th anniversary in 2024.
