Sony’s PlayStation 5 is one of the most talked-about consoles these
days, even though we still have more than a year to go until the PS5 is
ready to hit stores. Sony has already confirmed the official name of the
product, as well as its main features. But Sony left out several
crucial details about the next-gen PlayStation. We have no idea how the
final PS5 will look like, how much it’ll cost, and when it’ll launch.
But we did see the PS5 prototype design a few times already. Sony
delivered these dev kits to companies creating games for the new
console, games that are going to be available on launch day. It all
started with a patent discovery that was then confirmed by developers — twice. Even Sony showed the dev kit
while promoting the new DualShock controller that will ship with the
console. This brings us to the latest PS5, which is an actual photo of
the rumored dev kit.

The Dutch blog LetsGoDigital, which first found the Sony patent and then gave us gorgeous renders based on it (image above), is back with a new discovery:
This
time around, we’re looking at an actual photo of the PS5 dev kit, which
is apparently circulating on Twitter — here’s what it looks like.
The
product above looks very similar to the renders in Sony’s patent. The
“V” design is there, as are all the air vents, and several front-facing
ports. At the same time, the device labeled “Prototype 1” doesn’t look
anything like a product you’d find in stores. Not to mention that
PlayStation dev kits don’t have to resemble the actual finished products
that Sony will eventually ship.
LetsGoDigital went ahead and updated its renders using the information in the leaked photo (see renders above and below).
Furthermore, the site created a video render of the PS5 dev kit, which gives us a better looked at the console.

Sony is expected to host a PlayStation event at some point in early
2020, at which point it’ll probably reveal all the details about the
console, including the final design.
