The PS5 box lets you know how to transfer data from your PS4, it’s huge • Eurogamer.net

With the next generation of consoles in less than a month, the various products to be sold are popping up around the world.

Last night several members of the American media revealed that they were carrying a PlayStation 5, showing the box it comes in.

The PS5’s box is about as big as you’d expect for something that should fit the gigantic Sony console inside.

In case you were wondering, here’s a PS5 box compared to a banana:

An interesting fact is that it has instructions for transferring data from a PlayStation 4 to a PS5, right on the box.

As revealed Polygon’s Samit Sarkar on Twitter, the bottom of the PS5 box includes a guide for transferring data from the current generation to the next. Three options are mentioned: connect your PS4 and your PS5 to your network; connect your external storage to your PS5 if you have one; or log in to PlayStation Network on PS5 to transfer “game and trophy history, as well as profile and friend information.”

Meanwhile, all PS5 accessories have been seen at various stages of the distribution chain. Here’s the DualSense controller (which has also been unpacked by various outlets):

Here’s the PS5 multimedia remote, which Sony recently detailed:

And here is the Pulse 3D wireless headset alongside a PS5 HD camera:

So everything is happening! Oh, and while we’re on video game boxes, it appears that a Colombian retailer has jumped the gun and pulled an Xbox Series X out of the box. Now of course the Xbox Series X has been in the hands of the press for some time now ( here are our impressions), but this is the first time we’ve seen a store unpacking.
