Get ready to relive gaming history! Sony is reintroducing its beloved 30th anniversary classic console themes for the PlayStation 5, starting tomorrow!

As the PS5 celebrates nearly five years since its launch, fans have eagerly awaited the return of dynamic themes inspired by iconic games—a feature that graced the PS3 and PS4 but has been noticeably absent on the newest console. Though some customization options exist, nothing has matched the thrill of stunning themes—until now.

In an exciting blog announcement, Sony expressed, "Due to the overwhelmingly positive response from our community, we’re thrilled to restore the classic console designs for players to personalize their PS5 home screens!" This return marks a significant moment for devoted fans.

The 30th anniversary celebrations kicked off in late 2024 with various nostalgic treats, but nothing captured players' hearts quite like the themes representing the PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4. These themes allowed fans to not only update the visuals of their PS5 home screens but also to delight in the classic audio experiences. Although they were unfortunately removed on January 31, 2025, Sony reassured gamers that these cherished themes would make a grand return.

Now, the wait is over! The classic console themes will finally be available again, fully intact as players remember. You can easily find them in the Appearance section of your PS5 settings— and for now, there’s no indication they’ll disappear anytime soon!

But that’s not all! Tomorrow’s PS5 system software update will introduce additional features, including something called Audio Focus. This innovative accessibility option allows players to fine-tune audio elements, enhancing the gaming atmosphere to suit their preferences—be it prioritizing character dialogue or enriching sound effects. Perfect for those using headphones!

Stay tuned for more PlayStation updates, including the list of new games arriving for PlayStation Plus subscribers this April and the highly anticipated release of Ghost of Yōtei, which has just confirmed its launch date!
