PlayStation Wants You To 'Play Fearlessly'

PlayStation launched its latest anthem ad earlier this week during the NBA finals. It’s all about fear, which, as we all know, can hold us back and make us doubt ourselves. 

But in PlayStation’s world, things are different. Gamers play fearlessly and achieve greatness by conquering fears. In PlayStation’s world, gamers overcome their fear and defeat demons and monsters (real or imagined) all the time. 

At least that’s the way the latest effort, from BBH New York, positions the gaming giant’s world.   

The ad is titled, “Play Fearlessly” and was directed by Academy Award nominee Garth Davis (Lion, Mary Magdalene, Top of the Lake). It’s part of the brand’s “Greatness Awaits” campaign. 

The spot is said to represent a new approach for PlayStation, as it shows no specific game title and doesn’t spotlight a specific product. Rather, it relies on the emotion of the performances to get its message across.
