The Playstation 5 design is something that PlayStation hasn't revealed yet. So while we recognize what the Xbox Series X now looks like, the PS5 remains a mystery. Thankfully, we realize a few things about Sony's next-gen console, including some of the approaching PS5 games, the logo, and features like haptic feedback, we have no idea what the PS5 layout will be. You recognize what the box that'll sit under your TV for the next five or so years will appear like.
Until Sony officially reveals the console, we are turning to the internet, to peer what the most conceivable concepts are out there. We're ignoring something completely crazy, like a mad floating ball, or one which turns the PS5 right into a rollable display screen with half a controller connected to both side.
Now, this mock design version is among those more compelling to date with regards to the attention to detail on display.

The Latest PlayStation 5 Mock Concept Design
The concept, designed by a Cairo-based freelance product designer, Abdelrahman Shaapan, doesn't just run on a PlayStation 5 console layout, but additionally mock promotional films and close-up pictures with blurbs for each function.
It's all presented as though it got here directly from a proper console manufacturer. The console doesn't veer too far from the design of the latest PlayStation 4 base model. Two rectangular layers stick on top of the other with a slanting front.
The designer also placed a disc drive and the front-facing USB ports almost identically to those seen at the PS4.

One Innovative Feature Likely Absent From The Real PS5
The most innovative feature in this mock design is the layout contains an LCD at the front of the console itself.
The display can be custom designed to include data consisting of participant avatars, controller battery life, and the game currently being played, as evidenced by the layout art.
A few have compared it to a digital scale on a PlayStation 5 Reddit forum. Others noted that the estimated capacity of the PS 5 might require a better cooling feature than what the idea offers. It's understandable to see why, and those are arguably the simple problems letting down an otherwise excellent concept design.

Takeaway
Shaapan's mock-up is unlikely to healthy that of the final retail model of the PlayStation five, but who can blame him for having a move given Sony's ongoing radio-silence.
When asked why he dedicated effort and time to the concept, Shaapan discovered he's seeking to flesh out his portfolio as he applies for work.
Now, gamers might need to watch for the holiday season until they get to see the startup screen for real for the first time. We'll no doubt be getting new data about the console directly from the source over the coming months. As for buying something that takes place while we light it up, that surprise might be saved for release day, and we are entirely fine with that.
