PS5 Fan-Made Startup Screen Would Be a Perfect PlayStation Throwback

What should the PS5 boot screen look like? A new concept video from fans os an excellent middle point between nostalgia and next-gen.

Hey Sony! I know your development teams are still likely actively developing the user interface for the PS5. With next gen poking its head around the corner, what the PlayStation 5 looks like will almost be as important as the exclusive games at launch. And you’re in luck — a PS5 fan has already made a fantastic boot screen concept that threads the needle of nostalgia and innovation.

In case you’ve never started a gaming console before, the boot screens are nearly as iconic as any game on the system.

Sony has been keeping on with a steady stream of PS5 information, originally detailing some of the tech specs earlier in 2019. Earlier last week, we saw the unveiling of the PS5 logo — something that I believe is an early step in branding confidence and smart play to everyday consumers. Moreover, President and SEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment Jim Ryan has hinted to features that should be revealed soon.

In any case, the PS5 is set to release around Holiday 2020. As more information develops about the next gen console, we will keep you loop.
