PlayStation's 30th Anniversary: A Nostalgic and Humorous Celebration

Greetings, fellow gamers and button-mashers! As we commemorate three decades of PlayStation, it's time to dust off those memory cards, reminisce about our pixelated past, and perhaps chuckle at the fashion choices of our virtual avatars. Join us in celebrating 30 years of gaming excellence, where polygons were few, loading screens were long, and our love for gaming was born.

Thank You for Playing

For 30 years, we've journeyed together through fantastical worlds, battled formidable foes, and sometimes faced the ultimate challenge: finding a save point. Here's to the adventures we've shared and the many more to come!

30 Years of PlayStation History

From the original gray box that started it all to the sleek, futuristic consoles of today, PlayStation has evolved alongside our gaming habits (and thumb dexterity). Take a trip down memory lane and revisit the consoles, games, and moments that defined each era. Remember when multitap was the pinnacle of multiplayer gaming? Good times.

Celebrate with PlayStation Plus

What's a celebration without some party favors? From December 10 to 23, PlayStation Plus members can partake in special content and activities. Enter our sweepstakes for a chance to win a 30-month PlayStation Plus Premium subscription—because who doesn't want to secure their gaming future?

Free Online Multiplayer Weekend

Mark your calendars for December 6-8! Sony are unlocking online multiplayer for all, no PlayStation Plus membership required. It's the perfect opportunity to show your friends who's boss in your favorite games. Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility... and potential trash talk.

eSports Tournament Extravaganza

Think you've got what it takes to compete with the best? Join the eSports tournaments featuring titles like EAFC 25, NBA 2K25, and Tekken 8. Win exclusive PSN avatars and game-specific prizes. Sign up via the Game Hub or the in-game PlayStation Tournaments button. May the best thumb win!

PlayStation Store 30th Anniversary Sale

What's a birthday without gifts? Enjoy great deals on iconic titles like Gran Turismo 7, The Last of Us Part I, and Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. It's the perfect time to expand your library and perhaps revisit some classics. After all, nostalgia never goes out of style.

Your 2024 PlayStation Wrap-Up

As the year comes to a close, it's time to reflect on your gaming achievements. From December 10, check your email for a personalized rundown of your top games, trophy triumphs, and monthly stats. Share your gaming glory with the world—or keep it as a reminder of those late-night sessions.

PlayStation 30th Anniversary Range

Celebrate in style with a limited-edition range of PS5 consoles and accessories, featuring throwback design elements and a legacy color scheme. It's like the '90s met the future and decided to create something beautiful together.

Introducing the Shapes of Play Collection

Get hands-on with iconic shapes through the Shapes of Play collection. Whether it's lining up four different shapes in a board game or creating new forms with magnetic blocks, there's fun for everyone. Who knew geometry could be this entertaining?

Downloadable Wallpapers

Keep the celebration going on your devices with free downloadable wallpapers. And if you're up for a challenge, take part in the 30th Anniversary quiz to unlock even more designs. Because nothing says "I'm a true fan" like a themed wallpaper.
