News & Reviews:   Sony PS5

Sony has officially confirmed that PlayStation 5 shipments have reached 80.3 million units worldwide as of 30 June 2025.

Sony’s next-generation console, the PlayStation 6, may launch at around USD499 (approximately RM2300)—matching the original PS5's starting price.

As Sony faces financial pressure from US tariffs on Chinese-made goods, the company is reportedly contemplating a price increase for its PlayStation 5 (PS5) consoles in the United States. The 90-day suspension period for the new tariffs is coming to an end, making consumers and industry stakeholders closely monitor Sony's decisions.

In conjunction with its 30th anniversary last December, Sony added the classic themes of the PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4 consoles to the PlayStation 5. This feature was quite popular but was only offered for a limited time, and Sony deactivated it after a few months. Yesterday, the latest update of the PlayStation 5 was released, and now all the classic themes can be activated by owners permanently.

When Sony announced the PlayStation 5 Pro's price, it came as a shock because it was so expensive - even more so in Malaysia, where it's priced at a staggering RM3,849 without a disc drive. IGN recently interviewed PlayStation Senior Principal Product Manager Toshi Aoki about his thoughts.

As Sony approaches its 30th Anniversary of the PlayStation, the company just unveiled a cool nostalgic skin for the PS5 and PS5 Pro. The new limited edition design pays homage to the original PS1 which was launched on 3 December 1994 and integrated into the latest PS5 hardware lineup.

When Mark Cerny unveiled the Sony PlayStation 5 Pro (PS5 Pro), gamers baulked at the mid-gen refresh's steep price tag of USD700 (~RM3034). Predictably, many took to the Internet to question the company's pricing of the console. However, an analyst believes it will still sell.

Two weeks back, reports suggested that Sony was ready to announce the PlayStation 5 Pro. First launched in November 2020, the PlayStation 5 (PS5) is a powerful gaming console capable of 4K gaming. Tonight, Sony is likely to announce the upgraded version of this console.

In conjunction with Astro Bot's launch, Sony Interactive Entertainment just announced its upcoming 30th Anniversary which is coming in a few months. To commemorate this, the company gave a heads up of what to look ahead but someone got a glimpse of a possible PlayStation 5 Pro design.

Yesterday, Sony Malaysia launched the PlayStation Portal for the local market for RM999 after months of waiting for the arrival of this popular game console accessory. Today, they announced that the DualSense ASTRO BOT Limited Edition will arrive soon. So, what should you know about it?
