These kits contain development-specific additions and are not normally sold to anyone other than developers. Protected by confidentiality agreements and strict controls, resale of these kits is generally prohibited. However, this product, called the “PizzaStation 5 Development Pizza Kit”, was released to the market bypassing Sony’s standard control processes.
This sale comes shortly after the PlayStation 5 Pro’s development kit and features were revealed. The expected technical specifications of the PlayStation 5 Pro were made public in March 2024, which highlights Sony’s innovative approach to next-generation consoles.
