Sony hasn’t made any announcement about updating the packaging to remove the 8K logo, and if you’ve recently purchased a console, it may have it on there as old stock is still available. However, it doesn’t really matter at this point as 8K content is still likely a long way off anyway, but it’s got people talking about it regardless.
One user on X was more than a little miffed, writing, “It is false advertising and Sony should be sued for it,” while another on Reddit commented, “Yeah, because they will transfer it [8K claim] to the PS5 Pro [box].”
Sony is heavily tipped to release the PS5 Pro later this year, which features various updated specifications, including an ultra-boost mode that will make older games run better on the system. Furthermore, it has been claimed that the PS5 Pro’s GPU is going to be based on a hybrid of RDNA 3 & 4.
