New "Feel it Now on PlayStation 5" spot highlights the emotional thrills that gaming on PS5 inspires.

Next week marks the third year since PS5 launched and we wanted to take this opportunity to thank the more than 40 million players who’ve joined our global PS5 community. In these first three years, PlayStation Studios and third-party developers have introduced more than 2,500 PS5 games for players to enjoy, including fan-favorite titles in recent months like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Final Fantasy XVI.

We’re entering a holiday season with more console supply than we’ve had since the launch of PS5, including a new PS5 model in a smaller form factor. Players can also find PS5 bundles for Marvel’s Spider- Man 2, EA Sports FC 24, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III.

To celebrate this moment, we’re welcoming gamers around the world to experience the emotional power of immersive play on PS5 with our new spot, “Feel it Now on PlayStation 5.” Through the creative imagination of developers and innovative use of console features like 4K visuals, 3D audio, the ultra high-speed SSD, and the DualSense controller’s haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, gaming on PS5 evokes heightened sensations. Our latest spot highlights the breadth of emotions players feel while exploring PS5 worlds, from a snapshot of fear, coming face to face with a Clicker from The Last of Us Part I, to the joy of meeting mooncalves from Hogwarts Legacy and befriending a frost wolf in Final Fantasy XVI.

Players in the U.S., U.K, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, Italy, Spain, and Portugal can visit direct.playstation.com to purchase a PS5 console, games, and accessories directly from PlayStation. PS5 products are also available at participating retailers globally.

Expanding the best games lineup in PlayStation history​

Since swinging into our living rooms last month, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has captivated players with its epic storyline, two playable Super Heroes, and visually-stunning Marvel’s New York. In the past 12 months, PlayStation Studios and our partners have delivered a steady stream of critically-acclaimed hits, including God of War Ragnarök, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Diablo IV, Hogwarts Legacy, Horizon Call of the Mountain, Mortal Kombat 1, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Street Fighter 6, Humanity, and remakes of Dead Space and Resident Evil 4.

These extraordinary experiences add to the best lineup of games in our history, which already includes fan-favorite PlayStation console exclusives like The Last of Us Part I, Final Fantasy XVI, Gran Turismo 7, Returnal, Demon’s Souls, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and Final Fantasy VII Remake.

Meanwhile, the Game Catalog for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium/Deluxe members continues to refresh monthly with popular titles like Horizon Forbidden West, Ghostwire: Tokyo, Sea of Stars, and more.

Innovative new products coming this holiday​

This holiday, we’re also introducing a range of new hardware products and accessories that unlock new ways to play, including PlayStation Portal remote player, Pulse Explore wireless earbuds, and Access controller for PS5.

With these new products, alongside PlayStation VR2 and the DualSense Edge wireless controller, gamers can enhance their PS5 experience with more innovative options than ever before in PlayStation console history.

More amazing games on the horizon​

While 2023 has been an epic year for gaming, there are even more great games to look forward to next year, including Helldivers 2, Concord, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Tekken 8, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Pacific Drive, and more.

We’re grateful to all our fans for your continued support and can’t wait for you to experience all the exciting new games and products on PS5 this holiday and beyond.

Seems pretty cool. Nothing about future games, but is what it is.

 

[lh032]

playstation experience 2023. Believe.

 

[diffusionx]

Why is every person in that ad a woman? I didn’t know that the PS5’s user base is 98% women, I must be one of the few exceptions.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Imo the best live action advert I've seen from Sony since the PS5 generation started (reminds me a bit of the PS3 era).

 

[Roni]

Why is every person in that ad a woman? I didn’t know that the PS5’s user base is 98% women, I must be one of the few exceptions.

It's just the one woman...

It’s the same actress playing different characters. Big fucking deal.

 

[jroc74]

Seems pretty cool. Nothing about future games, but is what it is.

The blog post has a list for whats coming in 2024.

 

[Punished Miku]

It's not a bad ad. Lots of fan references. The slogan is a little rapey though.

 

[Games of Today]

Interesting but also wtf? Why is there a Mad Max scene at the end LMFAO. I wish we would get a sequel to that with haptic feedback! Holy shit!

 

[ShirAhava]

If I didn't know any better I'd think this was an ad for a standalone 4K blu ray player

Feel it now because its all about the 'cinematic experience' remember when gameplay was the draw?

movie games go vrooom

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Show us games, you morons.

 

[Fbh]

Seems like Sony and MS went to the same ad agency and they sold them a slightly different version of the same ad lol
"Diverse woman explores multiple game worlds"

 

[//DEVIL//]

Sony used to show games. now they show us movies and CGI for playstation 5 lol.

Nice trailer. but pointless without actual games. and its not like sony is lacking in that department.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

The blog post has a list for whats coming in 2024.

Oh yeah, it's a blink and you'll miss it kind of thing...

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

i don't feel shit

2024 is not going to be too hot it seems...

 

[StueyDuck]

Becoming quite apparent now that they are relying too heavily on gow/sm/horizon.

We all know they have new IP in the pipeline they really just need to let us know.

Even if they release a blog post with a title reveal like "Sony Santa Monica is proud to announce (space game name), please be excited to find out more in the future.

Then at least we have confirmation something is being worked on

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

[BrunoCoel]

I like the FF VII Rebirth reference.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

smh...

Pretty decent ad.

 

[midnightAI]

Seems like Sony and MS went to the same ad agency and they sold them a slightly different version of the same ad lol
"Diverse woman explores multiple game worlds"

Dunno, kind of in keeping with other PlayStation ads to be honest, still cant beat this one though....

 

[TVexperto]

i feel it in my wallet after they raised ps plus prices again

 

[Arcadialane]

Of course it has to be a black woman

 

[jroc74]

2024 is not going to be too hot it seems...

It does end with 'and more.'

I just think its cool they're showing the new PS5 model in ads already.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

It does end with 'and more.'

Ah yes, "And more", my most anticipated game of the year.

Seems like Sony and MS went to the same ad agency and they sold them a slightly different version of the same ad lol
"Diverse woman explores multiple game worlds"

This ad is 3 times worse because it's 3 times the length.

 

[Beer Baelly]

Im not clicking that thumbnail

 

[skit_data]

 

[IlGialloMondadori]

Of course it has to be a black woman

The fuck? That's what you got from this?

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I'm still feeling that 16" of venom!!!

 

[GymWolf]

Who gives a shit, show what the first parties are cooking, 2024 looks bleak.

 

[Three]

Why is every person in that ad a woman? I didn’t know that the PS5’s user base is 98% women, I must be one of the few exceptions.

It's the same person in multiple situations.

 

[IlGialloMondadori]

Why is every person in that ad a woman? I didn’t know that the PS5’s user base is 98% women, I must be one of the few exceptions.

Do you require ads to feature only the average of the userbase? Because instead of an attractive woman, you're going to get something very different.

 

[CrimsonSquall]

Why is every person in that ad a woman? I didn’t know that the PS5’s user base is 98% women, I must be one of the few exceptions.

Incels be like. Dude it’s going to be okay, a girl can be a lead in a commercial you will be fine

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

This blog post says Concord is coming next year. Is that news? I don't recall that being known. I'd assume whatever that is, is a few years off.

 

[BootsLoader]

The problem is that we don’t feel anything compared to previous generation.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

The problem is that we don’t feel anything compared to previous generation.

Really? What did you "feel" in November 2016 on PS4 that was so much better than now?

 

[The Pleasure]

Why is every person in that ad a woman? I didn’t know that the PS5’s user base is 98% women, I must be one of the few exceptions.

They obviously mean put the dualsense between her legs. It's like Rez but people know what it is.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Simple but effective.

Sony gets it.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Betting on a State of Play by the end of this month.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Stand sold separately disclaimer is fucking jokes, i love it lol

 

[Unknown?]

Why is every person in that ad a woman? I didn’t know that the PS5’s user base is 98% women, I must be one of the few exceptions.

Yeah, not very inclusive... Unless... We're just assuming their sex... Oh my gosh, we're biggots!

 

[SmokedMeat]

Feelings vs Oxygen

The Gen Z Console wars

 

[Pelta88]

Seems like Sony and MS went to the same ad agency and they sold them a slightly different version of the same ad lol

Huge difference being that one add features games, while the other looks like an abstract concept about nothing specific.

 

[jumpship]

Cool Ad. Theres a game there looking very Mad Max like or Twisted Metal tease?

 

[lughnasadh123]

They forgot the forum experience where the only thing felt is constant disappointment.

 

[Pelta88]

Me when I see a glimpse of the GOAT...

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

It's not a bad ad. Lots of fan references. The slogan is a little rapey though.

Xbox wants to get engaged and Playstation wants to feel me, bro I just want to play videogames.

 

[Moriarty1889]

Why is every person in that ad a woman? I didn’t know that the PS5’s user base is 98% women, I must be one of the few exceptions.

They want to portray strong women and weak men. This is the direction they are going and it shows.

 

[mortal]

You know for all the marketing they do, PS5's 1st party lineup is deceptively sparse 3 years in.

Also lol at the culture war arguments ITT. It's the typical power fantasy live-action ad with fan service.
Do you expect her to be at home raising children and housekeeping in the ad, like a traditional woman? Come on, guys...
