These custom PlayStation 5 console designs are getting better, and this Ghost of Tsushima concept created by, er, XboxPope is more than a match for the recent God of War design. This one’s a little less ostentatious, using black and red colouring to associate it with Sucker Punch’s upcoming samurai open worlder.
Our favourite features include the Japanese text running down the side of the chassis in glossy plastic, and the single Autumnal leaf towards the bottom of the device. What do you reckon? Is this the kind of console you’d want to buy? Let us know in the comments section, and don’t forget to check out the God of War PS5 concept we mentioned earlier through the link.

Samurai blunt sword! Sorry could not help myself! 😅
It’s a cool look though, like it better than the all white by a long shot. Now... if there was only any confrontation that the game will have free enhancements while running on the PS5... Optimized TLOU2 and Ghost of Tsushima alone would make the launch of the console much more impressive than just Miles Morales and third party games.
Just three more weeks.
It's grown on me a lot personally. Love some of these custom concepts.
What was that famous quote that Arnie said when he first saw the Predator?
@ApostateMage
Yes totally agree . Both this and the God of war one are hideous
I think that Pope's about to get excommunicated.
Liking it, the pad especially!!
@ApostateMage glad it's not just me that finds these fan made special edition mock ups hideous. I really hope Sony's design team do better.
I hope the PS5 comes in an all black version. I may wrap my own regardless. Perhaps a matte grey like the PS1
Heck YES. Gorgeous.
I hope sony partner with dbrand for official ps5 games skins 😃
Red light on a console always gives the impression that the console is having problems
I don't care what anyone else says, this looks beautiful!
It looks cool, but for the wrong game. It hardly matches the aesthetic of Tsushima?
It could be the colour of a faded scroll with cherry blossom drifting down the side and calligraphy.
This looks like a Destiny console or something of the ilk. Very Sci-Fi.
That is actually not japanese text. Although Japanese also use Chinese characters, the text used here was Actually written by Xiahou Xuan,An three kingdoms era writer and politician,around early to mid 3rd century AD. And the context of the article is to discuss a famous Chinese general and lord,Yue Yi, from around early to mid 3rd century BC in the Warring Period, 600 years earlier. To use this for a samurai game is like using the declaration of Independence for spartacus' resistance to the romans. Most people probably could care less about it since not many people know about the context of the text here, but it really is not appropriate to put the wrong content for wrong theme just for the sake of historical accuracy and nothing else.
Since this is late 13th century Japan, there are actually tons of more fit text to be put on there that were really about samurai era since the first shogunate just started a little short than 100 years ago from Ghost of Tsushima's time, and some of the most famous samurais were from just before the first shogunate. This concept art is all cool and things, and I will admit I don't have the appropriate skills to make such a concept image, but I just hope there could be text that actually talks about samurais on there instead of randomly picking Chinse/Japanese text and put it on there.
All these black PS5 designs look like they escaped from the Death Star.
The best concept I have seen is the Spider-Man PS5 - Black with Red LED's...
This looks better to me than the white plain one but I would still prefer a black plain one to this...
I love this design!! Black is the way to go. Who wants white?? I'm not living on the space station yet..
Black and red is always hot. I love PlayStation but don't know if I can do the huge white eyesore in my living room.
Love it. Already had my order in so can't wait to play this game also its the last game I buy for ps4 pro. Unless outriders makes it also. As i need a scifi fix that ain't destiny or anthem, also cyberpunk I will only buy for next gen. As I already have so many rpgs to play. But wow, that time has come already half a year To go guys ✌️
If that was real I’d probably cancel my Ghost preorder and get that PS5 edition with the game.
Looks terrible. My 5yo could design better. Looks better white and black anyway.
Nope nope nope nope nope nope....if you are a true gamer then I'll ask if you remember dead space and leave you with that!
All these concepts change the colour of the LED can guarantee no matter what each limited edition looks like the LED will remain the exact same for every ps5.
I don't think they could make a more lame console concept than this literally all it has on it is an arrow and a leaf
@potter32 Take a closer look, it's more than just two arrows inside a circle with a leaf. On the panel is actually lots of Japanese characters that looks like it'll take a while to do.
