I've been covering games and gaming hardware for nearly a decade, and that includes the torrid times of graphics cards, Xbox, and PlayStation shortages in 2020 and 2021. As a result, I know a thing or two about pre-ordering in-demand items and what a high-profile pre-order day can bring with it. I'm also a PlayStation fanatic of about 30 years, a mid-tier PS collector of sorts, and a Ghost fan who platinummed the first game twice.

What's available where?

Ghost of Yōtei - Limited Edition PS5

Broadly speaking, we're going to see some great availability of the Ghost of Yotei PS5 consoles and controller pre-orders. However there is one or two key bits of info to be aware of.

In short, and in an attempt to be concise:

  • The black console and controller will only be available at PS Direct - gold will be available there and at other retailers
  • The console covers will likely be PS Direct exclusives as we don't see them up for sale at other places regularly

Two distinct styles

Across the PS5 bundles and DualSense controllers there are two distinct varieties that area available.

While both share the same beige-y colorway, the use of black and gold as the primary art color on both is intentional and deeply meaningful.

The gold artwork evokes and relates to the Japanese art form of kintsugi, where gold is mixed with lacquer to repair broken ceramics; while the black artwork is very redolent of the Japanese art form of Sumi-e, where black ink is used on art.

The result on these PS5 hardware items is distinct styles and a collector's dream: I, for example, simply must have variants of both in some form.

What's actually on offer?

Whast makes this hardware launch special is that it isn't a single-product release like a single DualSense or console cover. There are multiple things on offer here, including:

  • A black-artwork-themed PS5 bundle
  • A gold-artwork-themed PS5 bundle
  • A black-artwork-themed PS5 controller
  • A gold-artowkr-themed PS5 controller
  • Gold-artowkr-themed PS5 Slim console cover
  • Gold-artwork-themed PS5 Pro console cover

As a result there's plenty to consider, and plenty to weigh up depending on how hard you want to go.

As you can see, I've mentioned two different colored artworks there, and this is perhaps the most interesting thing about these limited edition products...

Key info - pre-order timings

Right, let's get into the key information to make sure we're all on the right page ahead of pre-orders dropping.

First and foremost, when do Ghost of Yotei PS5 console and controller pre-orders open?

Simply, pre-orders will kick off at 10am local time around the world (at participating retailers, like PlayStation Direct) tomorrow, September 4, 2025.

Simple!

Hello! It's nearly time to get your Ghost on
