Sonymay have just confirmed the existence and teased the design of thePS5 Proconsole in some recent PlayStation artwork used for the console’s 30th anniversary.

In anofficial PlayStation blog postdetailing some upcoming celebrations for the 30th anniversary of the launch of the PS1, the banner art features some pale images of Sony peripherals from throughout the years - and the profile of a console that appears to have the samedesign shown in this graphic matches previous leaks, particularly one posted by known leaker ‘Billbil-kun’.

This was a sketch showing the alleged design of the console, which looked like aPS5 Slimwith a number of black grooves added to its exterior.

You can see a close-up of the console profile in the 30th-anniversary artwork below.

Although it’s difficult to tell the dimensions of the upcoming system from this latest image, the illustration of thePS5Slim on it does give us a good point of comparison. You can see that below, for reference.

They look roughly the same size, indicating that the PS5 Pro will indeed have a similar form factor to the PS5 Slim. As this is only a side-on 2D image, we can’t get a good idea of its thickness or height either. The leak suggested that the PS5 Pro would be thicker than the PS5 Slim though, obviously, we will need to wait and see if this is the case.

Fans on social media platformX / Twitter such as commentator Wario64have highlighted this too as more and more people seemingly connect the dots, whilePlayStation themselves captioned the artwork with “Your first look 👀” on Instagram- so maybe it wasn’t such an accident after all…
