Sony Quietly Drops 8K Claims from PlayStation 5 Packaging

The change has sparked debate about the feasibility and future of 8K gaming on current consoles.

  • Sony has removed the 8K logo from new PlayStation 5 boxes, now highlighting 4K at 120 FPS and HDR support.
  • The decision has led to accusations of false advertising, as 8K gaming remains largely unavailable.
  • Speculation suggests the 8K claim might resurface with the rumored PlayStation 5 Pro, expected later this year.
  • The PS5 is technically capable of 8K output, but only one game, The Touryst, has supported it so far.
  • Both Sony and Microsoft initially promoted 8K capabilities for their consoles, though the technology has not been widely adopted.
