In December 2024, Sony introduced a set of PlayStation 5 home screen UI themes inspired by the PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4. These nostalgic animated themes brought joy to many, but unfortunately, they were only available for a short while. After the New Year celebrations in January 2025, these themes vanished, leaving fans yearning for their return. However, Sony listened to the demand and reintroduced them with the latest PS5 system update. Now, gamers can once again customize their PS5 home screen with themes from the PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4.
This week, PlayStation shared details about an update for its latest system software on the PS5 in a blog post. Among the changes, there’s a feature called Audio Focus that lets the PS5 concentrate on game sounds like footsteps or dialogue. However, the most exciting aspect is the comeback of customizable UI themes, similar to those offered on earlier systems such as PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4. To apply these themes, users can navigate to Settings > Appearance on their PS5 home screen interface.
The latest update for the PS5 brings back some classic user interface choices, along with a fresh Audio Focus feature. Discover more about it here:

When the PlayStation announced its anniversary themes, it sparked joy among players who hoped these might resemble the frequent theme releases during the PS4 era. However, come the end of January 2025, with the conclusion of their 30th-anniversary celebrations, the themes were discontinued by PlayStation. This move was met with strong protests from players, who demanded their return. It seems that PlayStation has taken notice, as evidenced by this week’s news.
With the return of familiar themes, there’s optimism that Sony will keep updating the user interface on the PS5. However, it’s also enjoyable to have access to themes commemorating PlayStation’s 30th anniversary. Keep an eye out for future news and announcements by keeping up with PlayStation-related topics.
