PS5 Pro Gets the Weirdest GTA 5 Comparison

As console gamers get giddy with excitement over the recently leaked PS5 Pro design, fans have been quick to draw comparisons to everything from sports brands to iconic video game characters. The new console’s sleek look has certainly caught the eyes of many, but one particular GTA 5 comparison has left the internet in stitches.

While some see Adidas stripes in the PS5 Pro’s design, others have spotted an uncanny resemblance to a certain Los Santos resident. It seems that even in the world of next-gen consoles, we can’t escape the long reach of Grand Theft Auto V.

Franklin’s Fade Meets Sony’s Sleek Design

The leaked design of the next PlayStation features three prominent lines running across the console, a departure from the smooth curves of its predecessor. This new look has sparked a flurry of creative comparisons, but none quite as hilarious as the one made by X user @SynthPotato:

Idk how to explain it but the PS5 Pro looks like this Franklin haircut from GTA 5

The resemblance is uncanny, and it’s hard to unsee once you’ve made the connection. Franklin’s iconic fade haircut, complete with those three sharp lines, does bear a striking similarity to the PS5 Pro’s new look.

Of course, the internet being the internet, the comparisons didn’t stop there. Some users were quick to point out the potential legal implications of the design:

While it’s unlikely that Adidas will actually take issue with the design, the comparison does highlight just how distinctive those three lines have become in pop culture.

GTA 5 for PS5 Pro?

While it’s meant as a joke, there’s a kernel of truth to the question. The game has already spanned three generations of PlayStation consoles, leading to the popular meme that “PS2 had three Grand Theft Auto games, while GTA 5 alone has had three PlayStations.”

If the game does indeed make its way to the PS5 Pro—which it almost certainly will—it would mark the game’s fifth PlayStation platform (including the PS5 Slim), mirroring its own numerical title. That’s an impressive feat for any game, let alone one that’s been around for over a decade.

As we eagerly await more details from Sony about their next innovation, it’s hard not to wonder what the future holds for the Grand Theft Auto series. With GTA 6 on the horizon, it’s possible that the next instalment could be the one to finally break the cycle of the Rockstar cash cow’s console-spanning dominance. Only time will tell!

What do you think of the leaked design? And more importantly, how many more PlayStation generations do you think GTA 5 will survive? Let us know in the comments below!
