The contents of the boxes of both physical and digital editions of the PlayStation 5 have been leaked all over the internet during the weekend.
While Sony might seem like it’s reluctant in revealing the release dates and prices for its upcoming next-gen consoles, fans now know what accessories and consoles will be available by the end of this year. There will be two PlayStation 5 models upon launch – one can run physical media and the other a digital-only system.
The PlayStation 5 will also be launching alongside a number of accessories including an HD camera, DualSense controllers, controller charging station, console base, media remote, and Pulse 3D headphones.
The contents of the standard PlayStation 5 boxes have also been revealed thanks to a leak. The leaked info came from Daniel Ahmad’s Twitter account. He explained that the information he posted came from a retailer from Hong Kong. However, to the dismay of fans, the leak still doesn’t contain detail about the console’s release date and pricing. The unit’s model numbers are also included, but these could be region-specific.
Based on the box details, the console will come with a DualSense controller, the base of the console, an 825GB SSD, power cable, HDMI cable, USB cable, and an instruction manual. The console is also preloaded with Astro’s Playroom which was initially announced in the previous PlayStation 5 reveal event a few months ago.
This is from a Hong Kong distributor. So probably region specific. Just FYI.

The console seems like it will need to connect to the internet for it to install the system’s latest firmware upon its launch. The previous leaks about the PlayStation 5 give fans hope that Sony will soon reveal its price and release date.
Microsoft has already made their move and is now laying out its plans for its next-gen consoles which allow retailers and potential customers to prepare for its upcoming release. There isn’t a lot of new information from the PlayStation 5 box contents but fans are hungry for more in-depth details about the system and are willing to take all the crumbs they can get.
