New PS5 Holiday Ad Campaign Teases Gaming Moments Like Botching A Stunt Jump

by

Okay, so the holidays are almost here, and you know what that means – Mariah Carey on every radio station! But PlayStation is getting into the spirit too with a new ad campaign. They’re really trying to show everyone why the PS5 is the best place to play, and this year’s theme is ‘it happens on PS5’. They’ve already released three ads that show all sorts of gaming moments we can all relate to!

Okay, so there’s this crazy stunt where they tried to do a ‘Superman’ move – basically, launching an 18-wheeler over a building. It didn’t quite work out, but it was still a really ambitious attempt!

“The Unexpected Catch” features unsettling and grotesque imagery involving fish, reminiscent of the body horror films made by David Cronenberg.

Ultimately, the story “Everyday Problems in Everyday Vehicles” highlights that even with advanced technology like spaceships, a dependable truck remains hard to top for sheer reliability.

Meanwhile, Xbox has launched its own holiday marketing campaign by leaning into the ex-boxer meme.

November 12th, 2020, marked the launch of the PlayStation 5, and this month celebrates its fifth anniversary. As of August 7, 2025, over 80.3 million PS5 consoles have been sold, putting it on a similar sales trajectory to the PlayStation 4 at this point in its lifespan. The PlayStation Network has also seen significant growth, with a substantial increase in users.

November was a big moment for the PlayStation 5, but Sony is already looking ahead. They’ve hinted at possible features for the next PlayStation – potentially a console you can customize and a continued focus on buying games as usual. Sony is also working with AMD on new technology that will power future gaming systems.
