This Wednesday morning started with a nice surprise for PlayStation fans. Well, at least for some of them.
As highlighted by the X profile Genki_JPN (via chi_m02), the company has initiated the distribution of animated backgrounds to a select group of users. These backgrounds are associated with various intellectual properties fans cherish, including Demon’s Souls, Days Gone, Ghost of Yotei, Astro Bot, and others.
It’s worth noting that these backgrounds are related to the Welcome Page of the dashboard. They do not appear to be full themes like the classic ones released to celebrate the company’s 25th anniversary.
This feature has been a highly requested addition by PlayStation 5 owners, and indications suggest that PlayStation has finally heeded the desires of its fanbase by enabling the customization, despite some limitations, of the console’s background display.
The situation is a bit weird due to the lack of any official announcement from Sony on the company’s social profiles. Because of this, it remains unconfirmed whether this functionality is currently in a testing phase or if it is a feature that will be made available to all users throughout the course of this week.
What do you think about Sony releasing Animated PlayStation 5 Backgrounds for the welcome page? Tell us in the comments and join the discussion on our forum!
So this is a new thing? I literally just bought a PS5 a few days ago, and going through the backgrounds, they have animated ones for the welcome page. Some IP ones like Adtrobot, but mostly just PS brand specific original animations. 🤷
Well it’s about time Sony gave us themes, we just need to hope that we will finally get full themes like on PS4. I can honestly say I miss my final Fantasy Vll remake theme I had, so please Sony bring this to us on PS5🙏🙏
