Background

Sony's next PlayStation console was the PlayStation 4, released in North America on November 15, 2013, in Europe and Australia on November 29, 2013, and in Japan on February 22, 2014. So far, some models of the console have been discontinued in Japan, which took place on January 5, 2021.

Logo (November 15, 2013-)


Visuals: The sequence starts the same way as the PSVita, then there is a health warning (reading "See important health and safety warnings in the Settings menu"), and finally, on a light-blue wave background similar to the PS3, the PS4 logo in the upper left corner. In the middle is text telling you to press the PS Button (reading "Welcome Back to PlayStation®" and "Press the PS button to use the controller.").

Variants:

  • When logging out of your account, it skips the health warning and goes directly to this screen, but without the text "Welcome Back to PlayStation®". However, if a profile is automatically signed in when booting up, this skips to the home screen.
  • Starting in a 2016 system update, the wave background was updated.

Technique: Computer animation at 60fps.

Audio: A new-age synth choir that continues to play until you load up an application or a disc. The log-out variant only has the PS menu music. If a profile is automatically signed in when booting up, the menu music or a theme's supplied music plays, along with a three note synth chime, if enabled.

Audio Trivia: On Astro's Playroom, the startup sound plays at the end of the GPU Jungle world, in which Asobi slides down an icy ground as snow comes out from the sky. The menu music plays following that, as an ambient beat (by Kenneth C. M. Young) plays. The startup sound can also be heard when turning on the PS4, PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro consoles in the PlayStation Labo, when obtained, as well as when the countdown to the launch of Astro Bot reaches 1 minute (11:59PM local time on September 5, 2024).

Availability: Seen when you turn on a PS4.

  • The PS4 is slowly being phased out following the launch of the PlayStation 5 in 2020, with Sony stopping producing almost all of the PlayStation 4 models, keeping the 500GB Slim model, in Japan since January 2021, though so far support is expected to last until at least the end of 2023 (and firmware updates for many years after).
