Remember Sony's Days of Play from last year when the company released a limited edition blue PS4 Slim console? Well Days of Play is returning this year in June, and players will soon get the chance to purchase another limited edition PS4 Slim. You can see the design in the trailer above, and quite honestly it's about as plain as it gets. Instead of the usual black color, it's just been changed to a steel gray with the DualShock's iconic face buttons adorning the top. A matching DualShock controller will also accompany the console. It's not exactly impressive, and if you read the comments you'll see people are wondering why it isn't a PlayStation 4 Pro. What this Days of Play PS4 Slim has in common with a PS4 Pro, though, is that it'll come packed with a 1TB hard drive. Other than that, it appears to be a normal PlayStation 4. The console is expected to hit store shelves in June, just like the previous Days of Play PS4 did last year. If it's priced similarly to its predecessor, it should retail at $299.

For the first time ever, the PlayStation will not be participating at E3, as Sony said that it will be looking for “inventive opportunities to engage the community.” Sony usually launches Days of Play around the time that E3 starts, and it was initially unclear if the annual sales event would be brought back this year. In its latest State of Play, Sony revealed that Days of Play will indeed be coming back this year, while also announcing a limited edition, steel gray PlayStation 4. Steel yourself. Introducing the Limited Edition Days of Play PS4 system in Steel Gray #StateOfPlay pic.twitter.com/aP9BV2XtsV — PlayStation (@PlayStation) May 9, 2019 Sony is sticking with tradition, as a limited edition console has always headlined Days of Play. Last year, it was a royal blue PlayStation 4 with a large gold PlayStation emblem embossed on the top. This year, the steel gray PlayStation 4 does not look as daring, but it has a very sleek finish with the PlayStation button symbols at the top. Similar to last year, the console will be a 1TB version, and will come with a matching DualShock 4 controller. There is no official announcement yet on the price of the steel gray PlayStation 4, but it will likely still cost the standard $300, which is not a bad price to pay for a limited edition version. It is unclear why Sony did not decide to release a PlayStation 4 Pro instead though. If Sony will follow the pattern of previous years, it will be revealing its full slate for Days of Play near the end of May. The annual event will offer discounts across both games and hardware, in addition to starting sales for the limited edition PlayStation 4. The return of Days of Play was the second to the last announcement for the latest State of Play, which ended with the latest trailer for the long-awaited Final Fantasy VII Remake. The teaser gave a glimpse of Cloud, Aerith, and Barrett, while showing off the game’s real-time combat system. The trailer said that more information will be revealed in June, which will likely be at E3 2019. Other highlights of State of Play include the remake of PlayStation classic MediEvil and the Monster Hunter World: Iceborne expansion. Editors' Recommendations<doc-sep>
Sony has announced a new PlayStation 4 model--and it looks pretty slick. The "Days of Play" edition was announced during Sony's State of Play video broadcast this week. The console features the Triangle, Circle, X, and Square logos on the side of the system, which features a steel-grey look with a matching DualShock 4 controller. It's a 1 TB system for the newer, slimmed down model. Pricing wasn't announced, but it's expected the system will cost in the area of $300 USD if it's in line with the standard PS4 base model. This is that model of system, rather than the faster PS4 Pro. Sony also released a limited-edition Days of Play PS4 system last year that had more of an eye-catching design. The new console will presumably go on sale in June alongside the start of the Days of Play event. Days of Play is Sony's annual PlayStation celebration where the company offers lots of deals on games and hardware. This week's State of Play event featured a lot of news, including more details on Monster Hunter: World's next expansion and a new look at a game where you play as a cute possum. Check out GameSpot's State of Play news rundown to find out everything that was shown off. One thing that wasn't there--which Sony made clear beforehand--was the PS5. Sony recently shared the first details about the upcoming console, despite its release potentially still being more than a year or two away. It offered specs and a high-level overview of what to expect, although it didn't actually confirm the system would be called PlayStation 5.
