New PS5 System Update Brings PlayStation Fans Closer to the Return of Themes

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that Sony’s latest update for PlayStation 5 has got me all fired up! The return of customizable themes, albeit through the Welcome Hub, is like a breath of fresh air after what felt like an eternity. It’s been a long road since the launch of the PS5 in 2020, but Sony finally seems to be listening to its loyal fanbase.

Sony is now rolling out an update for PlayStation 5 systems which includes the return of customizable themes, a feature much requested by fans since the launch of the PS5 in 2020. While Sony hasn’t shown much interest in this request so far, it hasn’t stopped players from asking for it. At last, this new update brings some background customization options to your PS5 console.

At the moment, you can download the latest update for your PS5 console, which is one of the largest updates Sony has rolled out in a while. The primary aspect of this update introduces a new section on the dashboard named the Welcome Hub. This fresh addition to the PS5’s user interface is customizable and allows users to modify the widgets and other elements displayed within this area. Notably, the background of the Welcome Hub can be personalized, marking Sony’s closest step yet towards offering themes for the PS5.

Currently, not every PlayStation 5 user has access to the Welcome Home feature. Although update 24.06-10.00.00 for PlayStation 5 consoles is active right now, Sony plans to gradually roll out the Welcome Hub to all PS5 systems “within the coming weeks.” If you’re curious about what the feature will look like when it arrives on your device, you can watch the video provided below for a sneak peek.

Beyond the Welcome Center, Sony has rolled out numerous modifications in this latest PS5 system update. These include new 3D audio settings as well as adaptive controller charging for the most recent versions of the PS5 console. Moreover, party link sharing is now accessible for all PS5 users, along with adjustments to Remote Play, messaging, and standard enhancements to “system software performance and stability.
