Background

The latest in the PlayStation line of consoles, the Sony PlayStation 5 was released in North America, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore and South Korea on November 12, 2020, and the rest of the world on November 19, 2020.

1st Logo (November 12, 2020-)


Visuals: The sequence starts with the same logo seen on the PS Vita and PS4, then see a blue light appear as clouds of mist surround it. Sparks fly towards it, before it explodes and the background becomes a gray color with a spotlight on the right with circles floating around. A 3D model of a PS5 console with a DualSense controller connected via USB fades in, with the PS Button on the controller being highlighted with several circles appearing over it, prompting the user to press it.

Technique: 3D animation.

Audio: It starts with a dreamy, synth-like tune, which is followed by whoosh-like sounds. Then, it transitions to a choir-like sound as the 3D model of a PS5 console with a DualSense controller connected via USB fades in.

Availability: Only seen when starting up a PS5 console for the first time or resetting the console to its factory settings.

2nd Logo (November 12, 2020-)

Early version

Later version


Logos: There is the same logo seen on the PS Vita and PS4, which fades out, followed by a health warning. Then there is a blue bokeh effect, which explodes into yellow sparks as the background fades into the same gray color as the first startup.

Variant: When you boot up the PS5 after resting it, we skip the PS logo and health warning.

Technique: Again, 3D animation.

Audio: It starts with a long dreamy, synth-like note, which is followed by a four-note ditty.

Availability: Appeared when you boot up a PS5 after booting it up for the first time.
