Sony changes London Underground signs and station names to celebrate PS5 UK launch
PS5 launches tomorrow in the UK and Europe

Update: It seems that, unsatisfied with stopping at changing signs around Oxford Circus, Sony have also renamed a few Underground stations after some PS5 games. First up is Ratchet and Clankaster Gate, ✤a name that sure is a stretch to wrap my head around. Although, as the PlayStation UK Twiꩲtter account puts out below, it’s not quite a… rift apart.
OK so we've renamed (for real) some London tube stations for the #PS5 launch. 👀This one is a bit of a stretch, but we don’t think it’s *ahem* a Rift Apart. pic.twitter.com/D5XR0Faf19
Other station names include Miles End in honor of Miles Morales, Horizon Forbidden West Ham, and Gran Turismo 7 Sisters. I’m definitely getting a chuckle out of the fact that some poor souls around London willꩲ have absolutely no idea what is going on with these renamed stations.
Horizon Forbidden West Ham. Yes, for real. (Please do not shoot an arrow at the Tube train, Aloy.) #PS5 pic🍌.twitter.com/eoZBkXYCPt
Some phenomenal user suggestions I’ve seen going around Twitter today include God of War-ren Street and Middle-earth: Shadow of𒊎 Mordren. But nothing quite tops Knackton Town, for me.
Original: The PS5 launches tomorrow in the UK a⛦nd Europe, and Sony is beginning the celebrations a day early by changing signs on the🐼 London Underground.
Below, you can see snapshots of four signs around the Oxford Circus Underground station in London, which is just down the road from Sony's PlayStation headquarters in London. Sony has altered the signs to represent the four long-standing face buttons on the DualSense controller, to mark the PS5 launching tomorrow.

It's lovely little tribute to Sony's next-gen console making its way to Europe tomorrow on November 12. I'd be interested to know who Sony had to contact and convince in Transport For London to change the signs around Oxford Circ𒉰us in time for the console's launch🌠.
The PS5 might only be launching in the UK and Europe tomorrow, but by then it will have already been out for a week in North America, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, and Japan.
