The PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection will be released on November 21st.

The number represents the month and date of the first PlayStation console's release.

We’ve had five fantastic console generations since the launch of our first PlayStation console. We’re proud of the innovations and experiences we’ve brought to the PlayStation community over the years, as we kept up with the latest technology as it advanced. In the early days, the pixel count was around 300 thousand, and now it’s over 8 million pixels for 4K on-screen. In addition, stereo sound evolved into surround sound, and now we’re using 3D audio. The game controller has also evolved, starting with buttons, then came the analog stick and later rumble, and now we have haptics and even adaptive triggers. Everything we’ve done is to ensure that PlayStation is the best place to play. We believe the beginning of our journey is an important part of our history at Sony Interactive Entertainment, so we’re honoring this moment by incorporating the original PlayStation design theme into the latest PS5 products to commemorate the past 30 years. As we look to the future, we will continue to innovate as technology evolves, so you can enjoy every memorable moment on your ongoing PlayStation journey.

Be sure to check back with us regularly on our 30th Anniversary Website as we will have more fun celebratory activities as we approach our 30th anniversary.

We'd like to sincerely thank you all for being PlayStation fans over the past 30 years. There are many great experiences ahead and we hope to see them continue for the next 30 years and beyond!
