Black PS5 With Red Details

The rumored PS5 in black and red color combinations was recently shared on ResetEra forum by user BarrBarr. The image uploader claimed that he received a promo material at work that shows Sony’s black PS5 with red detailing. The marketing material actually belongs to Sony Xperia 1 II but at the back of the camera is the PS5 console and Sony TV.

While the owner of the image claims that the marketing material is officially from Sony, it is possible that it could be a placeholder image for a black PS5 console anticipated to release later. Whispers online earlier speculated that the Japanese gaming giant might soon release the black color variant of the PS5 but it has not yet been manufactured yet. In a previous interview, PlayStation Vice President of UX Design Matt MacLauri promised that fans could look forward to even more beautiful special editions in the future.
