At PlayStation, we always enjoy the opportunity to creatively collaborate with cultural leaders who are redefining what it means to play without limits and to live life. That’s why we recently announced the new PlayStation Playmakers program. read more about hereToday we’re launching a limited-edition PlayStation 5 console cover featuring PlayStation Playmaker, sports icons, philanthropists, entrepreneurs (and part time god of war), LeBron James.
These specially designed PS5 accessories feature elements inspired by LeBron and his love of gaming and community, and are available as a limited release in select countries around the world. As a PlayStation playmaker, LeBron co-designed his cover and DualSense wireless controller for his PS5 console, accompanied by personal imagery and meaningful sayings throughout his journey.
Design and specifications are subject to change without notice
Speaking on what this collaboration means to him, LeBron said:
“It’s still crazy to think that an Akron kid who grew up on games would end up creating something like this. Designing a controller for is pretty awesome, and I hope it continues to inspire everyone who touches it and makes finding meaning in the details a little bit more fun.”
– LeBron James
From his record-breaking feats in basketball to his extraordinary efforts to energize his community, LeBron is an inspiration to many of us at PlayStation. I couldn’t have asked for a more ideal partner to be his first collaborator in designing a limited edition PlayStation product. It was great to see LeBron’s vision for design come to life and demonstrate his passion for gaming and community, and we hope PlayStation fans love this design.
Fans in select markets will be able to pre-order the accessory exclusively from direct.playstation.com later this year.
