Why Sony Removed the 8K Logo From the PS5 Box

Sony quietly dropped the 8K badge from PS5 packaging in 2024: the promised 8K output update never shipped, and the base console can't handle 8K gaming. The PS5 Pro outputs 8K only via PSSR upscaling, while native 8K demands GPUs costing thousands of dollars.

• The 8K badge disappeared from PS5 boxes in 2024
• The promised 8K output update for PS5 never shipped
• PS5 Pro outputs 8K via PSSR upscaling, not natively
• An RTX 4090 hits about 60 fps in Doom Eternal at native 8K
