Leaked PS5 Icons Could Hint At New Features

Leaked PS5 Icons And Symbols May Indicate New Features In The Works

Though all rumors about potential PS5 features must 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 may be added to the PS5 console and various PSN websites. These include a “PS5/PC” icon that may be used to indicate which Sony-backed games are available on both platforms, such as Lost Soul Aside. Additionally, a Cross-Buy icon was uncovered, though its purpose remains unclear as of this writing. Game Rant corroborated Amethxst’s claims with a screenshot taken on a PS5 at 8:30 PM Eastern on November 4.

Given that Sony’s competitor, Microsoft, offers a cross-buy option for PC and console games via the Xbox Play Anywhere program, the leaked “Cross-Buy” icon could indicate that Sony may consider a similar offer. Other icons from the leak include green and gray symbols with a charging indicator in the center, along with some unused icons for games that support cloud save backups and DualSense touchpad controls. The leaked icons are notably absent on the PS4, but are available to view on PS5.

In response to questions from other users about the legitimacy of the leaked icons, Amethxst shared a video as proof that the icons exist. Amethxst’s PSN profile information box displayed each of the leaked PS5 icons, along with brief descriptions. Amethxst stated that the icons were added between March and November 2025, implying that they were recent additions.

With the PS5 holding strong at 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.
