Is 8K gaming a long way off? Sony PS5 abandons promise

According to news from this site on June 5, it has been three and a half years since Sony launched the PlayStation 5 console, but the 4K 120Hz, 8K and HDR sales points marked on the box by Sony have still not been fulfilled, and Sony has not disclosed it. When will 8K resolution be supported? The industry believes that although 8K monitors and TVs are less common, Sony should not use features that its products do not support as a selling point.

According to dealers, in order to make users completely give up, Sony has now secretly removed the "8K" logo on the PS5 packaging, and some netizens believe that this is paving the way for the rumored "PS5 Pro".

▲ New version packaging box

▲ Old version packaging box

This site noticed that the PS5 "Genshin Impact" starter kit officially released by Sony SIE today has also removed the "8K" logo, proving that this is indeed Sony's long-planned behavior and not a printing error.

Although there are no 8K games in the current generation, such as "The Touryst", which originally supported 8K 60 FPS operation, due to PlayStation 5 8K resolution is not supported, so it can only run in 4K 60 FPS mode.

However, most of today’s console players will choose to buy 4K 120Hz TVs that support HDR and variable refresh rate technology (in fact, it is difficult for PS5 to stably run 4K 120FPS games), so there are not many 8K TV sales at present. Well, and major streaming services don’t plan to support 8K content anytime soon, so it makes sense that the PS5 won’t support 8K resolution.
