A Nostalgic Tribute

The limited edition designs in this collection are reminiscent of the very first PlayStation console, which debuted on December 3, 1994.

The evolution of the controller—from simple buttons to the sophisticated haptic feedback and adaptive triggers of today—reflects Sony’s commitment to enhancing the gaming experience.
