Looks fine to me. Its pretty much the PS4 style with mild tweak. Not sure how that would upset/disappoint anyone... but hey have fun. What is interesting is the lack of "Only on PlayStation" in the upper right hand. Not their cuz its a just an early mock up.... or cuz the game is going to another platform?

 

[Kayoba]

It looks alright, it's not impressive or terrible. It's very similar to PS4, which is decent.

 

[DragoonKain]

I liked the color scheme of the PS4 label least. Not huge on blue. Looks fine to me.

 

[Grinchy]

Meh, I was hoping they'd go with clear black cases.

[iconmaster]

Great box art, but that PS5 branding is painfully dull. I guess we have to assume it's final, since it's the PS blog putting it out.

Epic Game Store maybe.

Blue case doesn't work with the new black/white scheme.

Replaced with the sony studios logo. Every sony studio game (including the third party ones - returnal, destruction all stars) was given the full exclusive banner at the ps5 announcement so it basically holds the same meaning now.

 

[Gavin Stevens]

Not one of you shits sneaked the blue “optimised for 30fps” badge in there, damn guys, y’all slipping...

 

[Voidout]

No only on PlayStation logo..

Replaced with the PS studios logo. Every ps studio game even the third party ones had the full exclusive banner as opposed to the console exclusive banner at thr ps5 reveal. So it will have the same meaning.

That or its not the final design. I like the ps studio logo better.

 

[Nymphae]

Definitely less impactful than PS4 cases, not a fan of the white scheme here.

 

[Chromata]

I made a black and red version:

Wow that black and white box looks slick!

Wish they did that instead of the blue.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Looks like a piracy game of a Cheap Street market

 

[Fart Knight]

Whatever. Will the case be same size or smaller? Do you put the disc in the right or left side?

 

[DeeDogg_]

Bland. Lazy. Uninspired.

Whats to expect from this dreadful year?

 

[DeeDogg_]

Gorgeous with a white finish, looks hella clean.

Luv it !!!

you misspelled cheap

 

[Rattlehead121]

I'm not impressed. As the others are saying, I just wish the case was black/white too.

 

[Fbh]

The blue box with the white top bar isn't working for me. Definitely should have gone with a white or black box.

Spoiler

Maybe they made it intentionally ugly, (as well as the asymmetrical console) to push people to go all digital

My theory is Sony thinking about tons of PS4 blue cases lying around and asked themself hey what are we going to do with it

the other guy said hey instead of wasting it why dont we just use it for PS5 box art

Then when the blue ps4 cases stock gone they gona switch into something else (white or black)

 

[Hendrick's]

This part looks bad.

 

[Blond]

People are in here just casually doing a better job than sonys design department lol

 

[Alone in 2020]

I made a black and red version:

I wish if each game will have different colour instead of blue for all of them! it would be awesome.

the blue is good but black would have been much much better!

 

[Mr Hyde]

Love the white, but it is pretty jarring with the bluish. Should've gone with a clear case. Either way, it looks good enough and doesn't stray to far from PS4-box art which makes it blending in nice with its older sibling.

 

[makaveli60]

HELP! Why do I have the feeling that I have seen this type of case a couple of days ago? Did I dream that or what?

 

[Deleted member 471617]

Not sure if anyone noticed or mentioned it but the "only on playstation" label is not on the box art. Expecting Sony to put their PS5 exclusives on the Epic Games Store day one and then Steam a year later.

EDIT: A few people have noticed and mentioned it.

It's very clean... people love to hate on Sony at the moment, it's kinda become en vogue....
It couldn't possibly offend anyone, it's minimalist and professional looking. Can't fault it.

 

[Saber]

Nah...looks meh to me. The colors white and blue don't have chemistry here.

 

[leo-j]

Wish it was clear or better yet black.

 

[The Fartist]

 

[Insane Metal]

As boring as it gets

 

[Evilms]

Never change a winning team

 

[Dthomp]

I think the blue case just doesn't work. A simple black/white dynamic would be much better.

 

[pixelation]

Shoulda made the box green.

 

[DavJay]

Box should be translucent white with black strip. A bit disappointing that it’s blue again

 

[The Jason]

Looks great and NO it does not look better with clear cases, Playstation has to have some blue!

 

[supernova8]

Would have been cool to have a white background with a kind of metallic (or even two-tone blue and silver) blue text to make it extra fancy looking.

The ps studio logo has the same value. All the games announced with it had the full exclusive banner that distinguishes it from the console exclusive.

Its also not final case. They usually add that last as many pre release cases lacked the logo.

 

[eastwood333]

Ewwww... that white does not match the blue casing. Fugly

 

[Keihart]

Would look better with clear cases:

Yes, i though the same, the color of the plastic feels really cheap. Even greatest hits had special colored boxes, yeesh.

 

[DrumNBassDanTTV]

Eww i dont like it

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

So Sony’s theme for everything involving the PS5 is fugly. Ok.

 

[The Jason]

This part looks bad.

Look at PS4 case

 

[BlackM1st]

Plastic should be transparent black. But looks like it's cheaper to make same boxes for both PS4 and PS5. Overall, pretty lazy "design" decision. All about costs cutting. 2020 4 u.

 

[Simpkin92]

Geez that white on the blue looks awful. Would look much better with white and clear case.

 

[The Jason]

Geez that white on the blue looks awful. Would look much better with white and clear case.

There would be no obvious blue, brand color association is very important (apparently)

 

[Keihart]

they should at least put a blue line between the art and the logo to make it better if they are using blue cases.

Edit:Oh shit, i was going to edit it, but there is a blue line, it's just too dark.
What a fail...

 

[Keihart]

I think this is a quick improvement without changing cases

 

[Aggressive Carrot]

Looks fine to me.
