Have you heard what Sony just launched? Two limited-edition and breathtaking Ghost of Yōtei-themed PS5 bundles, which are inspired by traditional Japanese art and the untamed beauty of Hokkaido. This blog provides everything that you need to know about these gorgeous collector's items.
What's Included in Each Bundle
Disc-drive PS5 console
Each PS5 bundle is built to be more than just a console package; it is crafted to be an artistic experience. The main highlight of the bundle is a disc-drive PlayStation 5 console, which is fully wrapped in exclusive Ghost of Yōtei designs that are inspired by traditional Japanese art. Be it the elegant golden patterns or the bold black brushstrokes, the console stands out as a limited-edition product that reflects the game's themes of beauty, resilience, and culture.
Matching DualSense controller
The console bundle comes bearing the matching DualSense controller. This controller is designed with the same artistic attention to detail, which complements the console with stunning patterns and sleek aesthetics that create a mixed look. It is not just about the gaming; it is also about holding a piece of art in your hands.
Digital copy of Ghost of Yōtei Standard Edition
Each bundle comes with a digital copy of Ghost of Yōtei Standard Edition. Also, as a bonus for the early buyers, Sony is including exclusive preorder items like an in-game ghost mask and seven PlayStation Network avatars.
Design Variants
Sony is providing two separate, unique, and artistic versions of the Ghost of Yōtei PlayStation 5 console, each with a deep connection to Japanese culture and a deep story behind the game.
Gold Limited Edition
This limited edition console is inspired by kintsugi, the traditional Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold lacquer. This traditional design is used on the PS5 in soft, creamy white tones with elegant gold "cracks" on the surface. These gold lines represent the idea of "beauty in imperfection," which is an important theme in the game. Additionally, it reflects the personal journey and emotional strength of the main character, Atsu, who learns to embrace his scars rather than just hide them from the world.
The DualSense controller also includes the same gold brushed accents, which are a beautiful match with the console.
Black Limited Edition
This Edition is influenced by sumi-e, a Japanese ink painting style that is known for its simplicity and bold expression. The console features striking black brushstrokes across a dark surface, visually representing Mount Yōtei, which is an iconic location in the game. These brushstrokes also reflect Atsu's inner struggles and the emotional conflict that builds and changes his journey.
The matching DualSense controller continues the minimalist theme, with sleek black patterns that feel both artistic and modern.
Stand-Alone Accessories for Current PS5 Owners
There is good news for all the people who already own a PS5 Slim or Pro: you do not need to buy the full Ghost of Yōtei bundle to enjoy the new designs. Sony is generously offering stand-alone accessories so that the fans can update their setup without replacing the entire console.
You will be able to purchase gold-themed console covers that fit both the PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro. These covers will bring the elegant kintsugi-inspired style to your existing hardware. In addition, DualSense controllers in both Gold and Black editions will be available separately. This gives the players a chance to match their gear with their preferred style, whether it is the refined gold elegance or the bold sumi-e black brush strokes.
These options are for the fans who have a thing for aesthetics but are satisfied with their current PS5 model.
Release & Availability Details
Ghost of Yōtei limited edition PS5 bundles and accessories will officially be launched on October 2, 2025, which is the same day as the game itself was released.
The Gold bundle will be available everywhere through select retailers and PlayStation Direct, making it easy to access for a wide audience.
The Black Bundle will be a PlayStation Direct exclusive in supported regions, adding a more limited, collectible appeal to that version.
As of now, the pre-order details have not yet been announced, but Sony has confirmed that the information regarding pre-orders will be released soon. So, stay put for further updates, since we all know that limited editions tend to sell out way too quickly.
On top of all of these visual appeals, the players who preorder the bundles will receive exclusive in-game bonuses, including a ghost mask and seven PlayStation Network avatars featuring the main character Atsu and the Yōtei Six.
It doesn't matter if you are a new buyer or a current holder of a PS5; Sony has created flexible ways for all of their fans to take part in this experience. From full bundles to single accessories, there is something for everyone to celebrate the launch of Ghost of Yōtei.
