Sony PlayStation 5 marketing campaign

Overview

Sony has initiated a marketing campaign for the PlayStation 5 titled ‘It Happens on PS5’. The campaign focuses on immersive gaming experiences and upcoming major titles, including Marvel’s Wolverine, Grand Theft Auto VI, God of War: Laufey, and 007 First Light.

To support the launch, Sony is implementing real-world activations across several countries, such as challenge booths in France, a ‘Berserker Mode’ activation in Australia, and Sentinel-themed installations in the United Kingdom, Canada, and Spain.
