EuropeanPS5fan’s excitement levels are no doubt extremely high right now. Sony’s latest console launched all over the globe last week, except for Europe, where it is due for release tomorrow, November 19.To celebrate the impending launch, Sony has taken over Oxford Circus, one of central London’s main underground tube stations. While usually, the London Underground is represented with big a red circle around the word “Underground”, Sony has created their own play on this, using their iconic shapes.
Different entrances to the underground station have been replaced with the instantly recognisable pink square, blue x and green triangle, representative of those on the PlayStation’s controllers throughout the years. The walls of the insides of the stations have also been changed to incorporate Sony’s shapes.
This is a very cool marketing ploy from

Alongside the signage changes, a handful of Underground Stations have also had their names changed to represent some of the PS5’s biggest titles. Mile End has become Miles End, paying homage toMarvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Lancaster Gate Station has become Ratchet and Clankaster Gate. Seven Sisters has now becomeGran Turismo 7Sisters and West Ham Station will now temporarily be known asHorizon Forbidden WestHam Station. Clever Sony, very clever.
