PlayStation 5

Background

(November 12, 2020-)


Logos:
 * First Startup: We start 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.
 * Subsequent Startups: We see the same logo seen on the PS Vita and PS4, which fades out, followed by a health warning. Then we see a blue bokeh effect, which explodes into yellow sparks as the background fades into the same gray color as the first startup.

Technique: 3D animation for all startups.

Music/Sounds:
 * First Startup: 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.
 * Subsequent Startups: It precedes with a long dreamy, synth-like note, which is followed by a four-note ditty.

Availability: Currently in use.
 * The long version can be seen when starting up a PS5 console for the first time or resetting the console to its factory settings.
 * It is worth noting that the PlayStation 5 (both the standard and the digital versions of the console) can be difficult to find, due to the ongoing global chip shortage and supply chain issues that have been brought up by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, as well scalpers reselling the consoles at a price higher than its MSRP.

Legacy: The console's start-up screen can be considered a refreshing change to the startups of the earlier consoles.
