Big news for gamers in the UK: the PlayStation 30th anniversary console and accessory collection has made a grand return for PlayStation Plus members. Now is the chance to join the queue on the PlayStation Direct website and snag these exclusive items.
While most of the anniversary collection is back on the virtual shelves, the highly sought-after PlayStation 30th anniversary PlayStation 5 Pro remains elusive. Unfortunately, the anniversary DualSense Edge hasn’t been restocked in the UK either, though it has made its way to other regions.
Last week, the anniversary items were available for pre-order in select areas, with UK customers patiently waiting for their shipments to roll out on September 29. The lineup features a stunning PS5 Slim Digital Edition console draped in grey, paired with a DualSense controller and a host of extras that pay tribute to the original PlayStation.
The packaging is a throwback to the old-school PlayStation retail boxes, giving fans a dose of nostalgia. Dive into the package, and you’ll find a special PlayStation 30 poster that adds a nice finishing touch.
Announced back in September 2024, the PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection also includes a grey PS5 Pro console. As SIE Platform Business Group CEO Hideaki Nishino noted on the PlayStation Blog, “We’ve had five fantastic console generations since the launch of our very first PlayStation console.”
Nishino elaborated, “We believe the beginning of our journey is an important part of our history at Sony Interactive Entertainment, which is why we are honoring this moment by bringing the original PlayStation design theme into the latest products for PS5 to commemorate the last 30 years.”
This celebration not only looks back at the legacy but also hints at a promising future in gaming. As technology continues to evolve, players can expect even more memorable moments along their PlayStation journey.
