The new leak claims not to use it PS5 The store icons could indicate that features like cross-buy and “Eco Mode” are potentially in development for Sony's console. Additionally, the leaked PS5 Store icons include some that may indicate which games are available on both PS5 and PC, though the alleged icons were notably absent from the PS4's database.
After its shaky launch in 2020, the PS5 has gradually grown its user base thanks to support for exclusive titles and popular third-party games. As support for the PS4 has dropped, many users have jumped to the PS5 to continue playing their favorite titles via backwards compatibility, as well as exclusive games. Although some of the PS5's top titles, such as God of War Ragnarok and Final Fantasy 7 RebornFinally making its way to PC storefronts, the PS5 family has become an affordable option when compared to mid-range gaming PCs.
Leaked PS5 icons and symbols could hint at new features in the works
Although all rumors about potential PS5 features should be taken with a grain of salt, a new leak may shed some light on some of Sony's plans. According to Twitter user Amethxst, new icons and symbols can be added to the PS5 console and various PSN websites. This includes a “PS5/PC” icon that can be used to indicate that Sony-supported games are available on both platforms, e.g. A lost soul at once. Additionally, a cross-buy icon was unveiled, though its purpose remains unclear as of this writing. Game Rant confirmed Amethxst's claims with a screenshot taken on November 4th at 8:30 PM Eastern on the PS5.
While Sony's competitor, Microsoft, offers a cross-buy option for PC and console games through the Xbox Play Anywhere program, a leaked “cross-buy” icon may indicate that Sony may consider a similar offer. Other icons in the leak include green and gray icons with a charging indicator in the center, as well as some unused icons for games that support cloud save backups and DualSense touchpad controls. The leaked icons are notably absent on PS4, but are available to view on PS5.
In response to other users' questions about the legitimacy of the leaked icons, Amethxst shared a video as proof that the icons do exist. Amethxst's PSN profile information box displayed each of the leaked PS5 icons, along with brief descriptions. Amethxst said the icons were added between March and November 2025, saying they were added recently.
With the PS5 holding strong with over 80 million units sold, support for the console will likely continue for years to come. It remains to be seen if any of the leaked PS5 icons will bear any fruit.
