It feels like yesterday, but it's been a while since the world collectively held its breath waiting for the PS5 release date. Remember refreshing your feeds and scouring every website for a glimpse of that precious pre-order button? The initial release, back in November 2020, was a whirlwind.
Two models launched simultaneously: the standard PlayStation 5 and the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition. The excitement was palpable, fueled by promises of revolutionary graphics, lightning-fast load times thanks to the SSD, and immersive gameplay with the DualSense controller.
Getting your hands on one wasn't easy. Supply chain issues and scalpers made securing a console a true test of patience and determination. But the reward? An unparalleled gaming experience that made all the effort worthwhile. Looking back, the PS5 release was more than just a date; it was the beginning of a new era in gaming.
