LeBron James Teams Up With PlayStation For New PS5 & Controller Design

If you know LeBron James, you know that he loves his video games. Overall, he is a huge Madden gamer who loves engaging in tournaments from time to time. Moreover, he has frequently been filmed enjoying some games of Madden in the comfort of his own home. He just loves the feeling of video gaming, and that makes him the perfect person for PlayStation to collaborate with. While this might be an ultra-specific observation, it is mostly because PlayStation and James are, indeed, set to collaborate.

According to TMZ, LeBron and PlayStation are coming through with a unique controller and console cover. Both of these items will drop later this year, and overall, PlayStation could not be more excited. “We couldn’t have asked for a more ideal partner to be the first-ever collaborator to design limited-edition PlayStation products,” PlayStation’s SVP and Head of Global Marketing Eric Lempel said. “It was great to see LeBron’s vision for the design come to life and showcase his passions for gaming and community. We hope PlayStation fans will love this design as much as we enjoyed helping create it.”

In the video up above and the image below, you can see what this cover and controller will look like. Overall, they both have a black base. Moreover, they are covered in colorful crowns that represent James’ iconic logo. Lastly, the phrase “Nothing is Given, Everything is Earned” is written on both the controller and the cover. While taking to Instagram, LeBron revealed just how much fun he had designing these. “These words inspire me and my I Promise students and I hope do the same for gamers all over,” LeBron said. “Still crazy to think a kid from Akron who grew up playing games is getting to create something like this!”

Fans of LeBron are certainly going to appreciate this latest activation. For now, however, little is still known about the release of these items.
