Original PS5 Owners Displeased with Ghost of Yotei Announcement

Alright, let’s dive into the wild world of PlayStation drama, shall we? Buckle up!

So, picture this: You’ve got your trusty ol’ PS5, and suddenly, bam! PlayStation drops this bombshell—there’s this swanky Ghost of Yotei limited-edition console cover. But wait, it’s only for the PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro. Ugh. I mean, the nerve, right? Like, what’s happening, Sony? You forgot about us original PS5 folks?

The minute that State of Play about Ghost of Yotei went live, the internet kind of exploded. There was all this excitement over the gameplay, but then you see these consoles. They’re decked out in this cool, ghostly design inspired by the game—shout-out to Sucker Punch for that vibe. Anyway, it’s not the first time they’ve done this. Remember the Spider-Man 2 one? But now they’re leaving some of us out in the cold. Thanks a lot, Sony.

I stumbled upon Reddit (because, of course, that’s where everyone spills the tea), and wow, people aren’t holding back. Folks are shouting from the rooftops—or, like, their keyboards—about how uncool it is to ignore the OG PS5 models. “Sony is all about, ‘What have you bought from us lately?’” one user ranted. And honestly, they aren’t wrong. Another said they ditched us faster than, well, I ditch my New Year’s resolutions—ouch. Some suggest scouring third-party sites for that sweet, elusive cover. Good luck with that scavenger hunt.

Okay, real talk—Sony stopped making the original PS5s around three years in, which feels like, uh, just yesterday? Yet here they are; they didn’t even throw us a bone with that 30th-anniversary cover in 2024. Without those Yotei covers, our consoles are just sitting there feeling all… vanilla. But hey, at least we can snag the limited-edition DualSense controller. Small wins, I guess?

So here we are, original PS5 crew. No Ghost of Yotei glam for us. Just sitting here, waiting and hoping. Maybe Sony will throw us a lifeline. Or maybe we’ll just get distracted by something else shiny and new. Who knows. Anyway, play on, people. Whatever console you’ve got, just rock it.
