Sony and game developer Sucker Punch have revealed the PlayStation 5 ‘Ghost of Yōtei Limited Edition’, tied to their upcoming game Ghost of Yōtei.

PlayStation unveils ‘Ghost of Yōtei Limited Edition’ console

This special console comes in two artistic designs—Gold and Black—that reflect the game’s world and traditions. The Gold version draws from kintsugi, a Japanese method that repairs broken pottery with gold lacquer, showing how flaws can be made beautiful.

The Black version uses sumi-e, Japanese ink painting known for its bold, expressive brush strokes.

Both editions include a matching DualSense controller with a touchpad featuring Atsu’s silhouette, and both items feature a small engraved “maker’s seal” in the shape of the PlayStation logo.

Design elements like Mount Yōtei appear on the console as well, giving a direct nod to the game’s starring character and setting.

This bundle also includes a digital copy of the game and exclusive in-game items.

How this console is different from the original console

At a glance, the Ghost of Yōtei console is a standard PS5 with disc drive—but the differences go much deeper:

  1. Unique aesthetic – Unlike the plain white or black versions, these consoles showcase kintsugi gold or sumi-e black finishes inspired by Japanese art, giving each device character and meaning.
  2. Detailed craftsmanship – Engraved symbols on the console and controller, plus the incorporation of game motifs like Atsu and Mount Yōtei, elevate it from a typical gaming device to a collector’s piece.
  3. Additional content – The bundle includes a standard edition digital copy of Ghost of Yōtei, a downloadable mask for use in-game, and seven themed PlayStation Network avatars, offering more value than just the console alone.
  4. Individual accessory options – For those who already own a compatible PS5 (Slim or Pro models), separate console covers and matching DualSense controllers are available for purchase, allowing fans to customise without buying a full console bundle.
