Sony unveiled the appearance of the physical PlayStation 5 game boxes in a blog post on Thursday. It does share some similar features with the design of the PS4 game box, although it has some distinctive features that are worth looking at.

To demonstrate the design of the new box, the company chose an upcoming game Spider-Man: Miles Morales, which will be out this holiday.

The case still has a transparent blue plastic shell, just like it was for PlayStation 4 games, but it is a bit darker shade of blue to compliment the blue accents of the new console and its wireless controller. The header at the top of the game label features black and white colors instead of the blue that the PS4 had, and these colors again match the design of the PS5 hardware. At the bottom of the front cover, rating and information about the game’s creator are indicated. The game box does not have any indications that players will need the PlayStation 5 with a disc drive to play games that come in physical boxes.

Here are the pics that show how the PS5 game box differs from that of the previous generation console:

Along with it, other games highly anticipated games were presented, too, including Gran Turismo 7, Resident Evil: Village, Horizon: Forbidden West, Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced, and others.
