Sony Quietly Removes 8K Tag from PS5 Boxes

In recent news, Sony has quietly removed the 8K tag from PlayStation 5 boxes. Initially, the PS5 boasted an 8K capability that was rarely utilized, with the game The Touryst being one of the few exceptions. Despite promises, extensive 8K support never materialized. Sony's main competitors, like Microsoft, also discussed 8K capabilities for the Xbox Series X but acknowledged that the technology wouldn't be widely adopted anytime soon. This move signifies a shift in focus, aligning more realistically with current consumer tech trends.

Sony removed the 8K tag from PS5 boxes because the 8K support was nearly non-existent and consumer adoption of 8K TVs has been slow. The focus has shifted to more widely supported resolutions like 4K/120 fps.

The PlayStation 5 was released in November 2020 and quickly became a leading next-gen console for gamers. Featuring advanced hardware capable of ray tracing, fast load times with an SSD, and an extensive library of games, the PS5 continues to dominate the console market along with the Xbox Series X.
