What should the PS5 boot screen look like? A new concept video from fans os an excellent middle point between nostalgia and next-gen.

Hey Sony! I know your development teams are still likely actively developing the user interface for the PS5. With next gen poking its head around the corner, what the PlayStation 5 looks like will almost be as important as the exclusive games at launch.

Moreover, President and SEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment Jim Ryan has hinted to features that should be revealed soon.

In any case, the PS5 is set to release around Holiday 2020. As more information develops about the next gen console, we will keep you loop.
