It was this week when the community noticed that the video game boxes of Xbox They have undergone a small visual modification. Nothing problematic, so Microsoft has not commented on the matter, in the same way that Sony has not said anything about the disappearance of a detail in the boxes of PS5.
In this case, it is time to look at the packaging of the consoles, since since the device was launched in 2020, it has always been surrounded by controversy. 8K logo at the top right. The Japanese company assured prior to the platform’s arrival that “PS5 supports 8K displays at launch and, following a future system software update, will be able to output resolutions up to 8K when content is available, with compatible software.”
Almost four years have passed since that month of November and the truth is that PS5 still does not support output at 8K resolution. So much so that there is only The Touryst as the only video game that supports 8K at 60FPS, but Sony has not released the promised update. Now, as we can see in the boxes of the units that are on sale at PlayStation Directthis feature has been removed.

Since Sony has not opened its mouth about it, doubt remains about the reason why this decision was made. During these years, many users accused the company of misleading advertising and, perhaps, Sony has preferred not to continue showing a quality of the console that has not come true.
On the other hand, it cannot be ruled out that the arrival of a PS5 Pro may meet the desired requirement, but the technical specifications of the machine are still to be known.
