PlayStation is restocking select 30th Anniversary hardware and accessories in several regions, including the US, Canada, and multiple European countries. In the US, PlayStation fans will have another chance to buy the 30th Anniversary DualSense Controller for PS5 starting July 21 at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET at PlayStation Direct. Controllers purchased during this restock are considered preorders with a release date of September 9.

It appears that PlayStation Plus subscribers will have early access to the restock before it opens up to the general public. In any case, like previous 30th Anniversary restocks--the last one was in January--expect units to sell out fast.

Though the US storefront only appears to be restocking the DualSense, customers in other regions will also be able to preorder the 30th Anniversary PS5 Slim Digital Edition Bundle and matching PlayStation Portal. We've included links to those two products on PS Direct's US storefront, just in case the hardware happens to be available in the US, too.

PlayStation 30th-Anniversary box art


The boxes for each of these anniversary releases look great and pay homage to the original PlayStation packaging--just like the PlayStation Classic before it.


A closer look at the PS5 30th-anniversary edition


As seen here, the original PlayStation four-color logo stands out nicely thanks to the gray finish.


Those shapes look familiar


Similar to the current PS5 console, the inner console shell features textured PlayStation shapes. For this release, the design has been slightly adjusted for the 30th anniversary.


Even more 30th-anniversary shapes


You'll also find that 30th anniversary logo on the bottom of the panel.


One final anniversary touch can be easily missed


Another neat feature on the limited-edition PS5 is "PlayStation 30th-Anniversary" text printed on the bar in the middle of the console shell.


PS5 Pro-bably going to sell out fast


The PS5 Pro has a similar aesthetic, but expect this one to sell very quickly when preorders go live.


The numbers don't lie


As a reminder of how limited this run of PS5 Pro consoles will be, each one has its production number printed onto its grill.


The PS5 DualSense controller has a nostalgic color scheme


A closer look at the regular PS5 DualSense controller is a reminder that PlayStation grey looks great on just about everything.


The shape of things to come


The DualSense Edge is covered in 30th-anniversary symbols and shapes, as you can find these on the touchpad and adaptive triggers.

In case you've been wondering, Ubisoft is indeed working on a new entry in its long-running Ghost Recon series. The news, which had been heavily rumored for a while now, was confirmed by Ubisoft president Yves Guillemot in what sounds like a heated shareholder meeting last week.

First reported by Game File, the confirmation of the the untitled Ghost Recon game came from a question about Ubisoft's history with live-service titles. Touting the company's success with Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, Guillemot added, "In addition to the flagship game that I just mentioned, our objective is to also make strong progress in the growing market, generally speaking, by continuing to enhance our current experiences that we offer--and capitalizing on upcoming launches, such as The Division and Ghost Recon."

Later on, Ubisoft's CFO Frederick Duguet specifically called out the upcoming Ghost Recon title as one of the company's "first-person-shooter-type games," seemingly also confirming that the next entry will be an FPS. Though multiple titles in the franchise have offered first-person perspectives, the Ghost Recon games have largely been presented as third-person shooters since 2006's Advanced Warfighter, making this a significant shift for the series.
