Take an Up-Close Look at the PS5 and Its Accessories

Previously, we could only show you the PS5 retail box, but we're now happy to share an up close look at the PlayStation 5 console itself. Turned off and disconnected from the TV, that is. Watch the video above or check out dozens of photos below of the PS5, including comparisons to a host of other PlayStation consoles, as well as Xbox hardware, a banana, and more: [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=ps5-console-first-look-size-comparison&captions=true"] And while we can't show you the console plugged in just yet, we can offer our first PS5 hands-on experience with Astro's Playroom. Read about how it incorporates the DualSense and offers a bit of what Sony's next-gen console can offer.
