Sony Removes 8K Claim From PlayStation 5 Boxes

Fans have noticed that, over the last few months, Sony quietly removed any mention of 8K on the PlayStation 5 boxes. 'I have been endlessly bitching since the PS5 released about that 8k Badge,' writes X user @DeathlyPrice. 'It is false Advertising and Sony should be sued for it.' Others shared their grievances via PlayStation Lifestyle and a Reddit thread. GameSpot reports: A FAQ on Sony's official site in 2020 stated that 'PS5 is compatible with 8K displays at launch, and after a future system software update will be able to output resolutions up to 8K when content is available, with supported software.' But to date, the only game that offers 8K resolution on PS5 is The Touryst, which looks more like Minecraft than a game with advanced visuals.
