In addition to games, the PlayStation 30th Anniversary promotion also extends to hardware and peripherals discounts direct from PlayStation.
Also shared today was a heartwarming 30th-anniversary video thanking all of the gamers who have joined the PlayStation family over the past 30 years.
"For the past three decades, we've shared an incredible journey, building stories and shaping experiences together," Sony said. "Along the way, we've found adventure, laughter, and lasting memories that go far beyond any one moment. We've forged new friendships and redefined what gaming is all about. Thank you for being part of this journey — we couldn't have done it without you."
It's also been discovered that a new PS5 update released today has brought back the original PS1 boot-up screen and sounds. For those around back in the original PlayStation gaming days, it's a familiar and welcomed sound. For those who are somewhat new to PlayStation, this was the sound that started it all — and it's magnificent.
PS5 owners can also customize their home screen with sounds and designs from other PlayStation console generations: PSOne, PS2, PS3, and PS4.
The current PlayStation Store sale and PS5 update are only part of Sony's PlayStation celebrations. Earlier this year, Sony unveiled the PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection, limited edition designs for the PlayStation 5 that pay homage to 30 years of gaming on PlayStation. The special design is inspired by the original PlayStation color and integrates it into PS5 hardware products.
