PlayStation 5 Startup Sound Revealed By Burger King On Twitter

The opening notes for the PlayStation 5 were heard in the most unconventional manner, during a teaser by Burger King, as revealed in a tweet.

The fastfood chain posted a video clip that features the famous company mascot opening a paper bag, ScreenRant reports. In the very short 15-second clip, the company's mascot is shown behind a typical Burger King counter with a very large paper bag featuring its branding and the green, red, brown, and yellow colors associated with the fastfood giant.

As the King opens the bag, a blue light emanates from the bag, complete with four chimes of distinct notes playing in the background. He looks around to see if anyone's watching and opens the bag once again for the light and jingle. He then trots off with the bag and the numbers “10/15” appear onscreen, perhaps as teaser for something from the fastfood giant, Sony, or both on Oct. 15.

Ever since the PlayStation 5 was first announced, Sony has been very guarded in releasing information about it. Even as the pandemic hit, Sony has been withhelding information about the console, including the DualSense controller, backward compatibility and cost.

It’s a strategy that seems to have worked for them given the hype for the system. The console arrives in select countries by Nov. 12 and for the rest of the world on Nov. 19.

Meanwhile, rival Microsoft has already renewed its partnership with Taco Bell and is giving away the coming Xbox Series X in another promo. It stands to reason then that Burger King and Sony might have an equivalent promo cooked up for the PlayStation 5.

It looks like we’ll all have to watch out for that Oct. 15 announcement to find out if there is more to the teaser that Burger King has presented.
