Sony has unveiled a new version of its PlayStation 4, with matching DualShock controller, for the upcoming release of Gran Turismo Sport, the latest installment in its hugely popular racing series.
Earlier this week, at the gamescom 2017 expo, Microsoft unveiled a new limited edition Minecraft -themed version of its Xbox One S console, featuring a rather dramatic design for fans of the blocky world-building game. Now, Sony has also revealed a special edition of its PlayStation 4 – although it’s certainly lacking the visual extravagance of Microsoft’s new Minecraft console.
Perhaps it would be fairer to say that Sony is aiming for a more ‘understated’ approach with its limited edition 1TB Gran Turismo Sport PlayStation 4 console, which it announced today. The console itself has « an exclusive Gran Turismo Sport silver faceplate » featuring the GT logo, while the matching controller has a similar color scheme with the same logo on its touchpad.
« The limited edition console comes with a Day 1 edition of the game, » Sony said, « which provides access to $250,000 in-game credits, livery sticker packs, a chrome racing helmet and 60 PS4 avatars. »
Gamers will also be able to purchase the Limited Edition GT Sport DualShock 4 controller on its own, or in a bundle with the standard copy of the game. Four additional console bundles that include the game will be offered too:
The 1TB Gran Turismo Sport PlayStation 4 Limited Edition console will be released in the UK, Europe and Australasia on October 18. Details of pricing will be announcing locally in each market. You can get a further look at the limited edition console in the video below:
