Images of the PS5 box have flooded Twitter, drumming up excitement among PlayStation fans who’ve pre-ordered the next-gen Sony console and can’t wait to get their hands on one. Our other sister site, GamesRadar, gave us some perspective on the size of the PS5 box by placing it near a cute bulldog. The PS5 box is filled with alluring marketing language, reminding PS5 owners that they’re getting 3D audio technology, a wireless controller with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, and lightning-fast performance thanks to a powerful CPU and speedy SSD. The box also points out that the PS5 can run 4K games at 120 frames per second, but you’ll need compatible hardware. The bottom of the PS5 box offers instructions on how to transfer PS4 data to one’s new PS5 console. You can transfer data by connecting your PS5 to the same network as your PS4. You can also connect your PS4’s extended storage drive to your PS5. A third option is to sign in to your PS5 with an PS4-created account. “You can transfer data such as gaming history and trophies, as well as profile and friend information,” Sony noted on the PS5 box. We expect to receive our own review unit soon, so stay tuned for more coverage on the PS5. You should also check out our oft-updated PS5 rumor hub to stay abreast on all the latest PS5 news.
