PLAY IN GINZA

Introduction

The key visual of “PLAY IN GINZA.” 2025 11.15 sat - 12.3 wed.

Once located on the 6th floor of the Sony Building,

"Ginza PlayStation" was a bustling playground for both children and adults,

on weekdays and weekends.

This year marks the 5th anniversary of the launch of the "PlayStation® 5."

To relive that vibrant atmosphere once more, we are opening a limited-time playground, "PLAY IN GINZA," at Ginza Sony Park, which inherits the memories of the Sony Building.

As a special program for this anniversary year, we share our gratitude from Ginza.

We look forward to welcoming you all.
