PlayStation gamers warned they 24 hours left to nab free PS5 Pro

In a big birthday celebration, Sony is giving away a very sought-after 30th anniversary PlayStation 5 Pro console via their Twitter feed.

Everyone has a chance to win by joining in and posting a wholesome photo centred around the PlayStation brand.

The PS5 Pro will feature a swathe of games upgraded to take advantage of the more powerful hardware

To be in with a chance of snagging the console for yourself, you’ll need to reply to PlayStation’s tweet with a photo of when you were gifted a PlayStation and tell the world the story behind it.

There’s no need to sign up for anything or be a subscriber to PlayStation Plus.

Already, the Twitter thread is bursting with acts of love and kindness.

People are showing family moments of sibling rivalry; sweet gifts from new partners are appearing; and lots of happy smiles as the era of PlayStation began for these gamers.

With such a simple giveaway, Sony has brought together a bunch of players who have either just embarked on their PlayStation journey with the PS5, or have been around since the OG in the 1990s.

I was never gifted my original PlayStation as I’d used birthday funds and the sale of my SEGA Mega Drive to be able to buy it, but I remember the day vividly.

I remember dashing home with a copy of DOOM only to find that the FPS camera set off major motion sickness in me.

Distraught, I spent a few days just playing the included Demo One disc and discovering new games that I would eventually play.

You don’t have long to enter this giveaway and thousands of people will be vying for that prize.

The 30th anniversary PlayStation 5 Pro console is an homage to the original PlayStation with grey colouring and the proper coloured face buttons on the controller.

These consoles sold like hotcakes when they debuted, so get over to Twitter and give yourself a chance to win.
