Sony Interactive Entertainment released this spot for the all-new PlayStation Plus, acting as a metaphor for the journey that PlayStation can provide everyone.

Directed by Henry Hobson of MJZ for adam&eveDDB, London, the film takes the viewer into a mystifying and intriguing world, showcasing all the lives that a gamer can live. It tells the story of Mr. Malcolm, an older gentleman who at first glance is any normal, unassuming man you see in the street. But, as we follow him through the city and back to his home, we start to realize the many different lives he has lived. We travel through Mr. Malcolm’s house, down into his secret basement, full of incredible objects collected from his many adventures--The BB pod from Death Stranding and Bloodborne’s Saw Cleaver, a Watcher from the world of Horizon, Jin Sakai’s mask from Ghost of Tsushima--all drawing viewers deeper into the mystery of who this man is.

Indeed anyone can experience the wonder of PlayStation, satisfying his, her or their thirst for adventure, exploration, and thrills. PlayStation asks audiences: “Why be one thing, when you can be anything?”
