Sony has not commented, with leakers verifying the icons in PS5 menus plus a 'crossbuy' tag in website code.

Overview

  • Dataminer Amethxst shared images and video of new 'Cross‑Buy' and 'PS5/PC' icons appearing on a PS5 interface, noting they do not show on PS4.
  • Dealabs leaker billbil‑kun corroborated the find and reported a 'crossbuy‑tag' was added to PlayStation website CSS in June 2025.
  • The symbols match official Sony font codes (uf‑code EF5B–EF61), which observers cite as evidence the assets are authentic.
  • Coverage frames the icons as a potential PS5PC cross‑buy system similar to Xbox Play Anywhere, reviving Sony’s past Vita‑era cross‑buy concept.
