Now further supporting its new mindset over at PlayStation, evidence recently points towards a new feature that will bring many of its actions full circle. Via X, user @yAmethxst discovered new symbols in a recent datamine which includes ‘PS5/PC’ and ‘Cross-Buy’.

Upon initial reporting, it was considered that the finding was attached to legacy code in the PlayStation 5 coding, but instead was added more recently. Dealabs in a separate report shared that these symbols were part of an update that went live in June 2025. There is also an ‘Eco Mode’ icon as well.
