Last year, PlayStation marked its 30th birthday by launching special edition versions of its consoles and accessories. Known as the PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection, it featured unique editions of the PS5 (both digital and disc), the PS5 Pro, PlayStation Portal, and the DualSense Controller. If you missed out on this collection last year because of scalpers, good news: PlayStation has revealed that some items from the collection will be back for sale later this year.

Many announcements from the X accounts of different PlayStation regions have indicated that the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Console Bundle (which includes the console and controller), the 30th Anniversary DualSense Wireless Controller, and the 30th Anniversary PlayStation Portal will be available in limited quantities this September. So far, the regions confirmed to have access to these anniversary products include Canada, France, Japan, Ireland, Italy, and the UK.
