Sony Working Behind the Scenes to Bring Back Classic PlayStation Themes on PS5
[summaraize]
We knew it was coming, but today is the last day you’ll see those classic PlayStation themes bootups on the PS5. A sad day, as the themes introduced a feature that PlayStation has been severely lacking since the PS3 days, that being system menu themes and such.
However, there’s some good news, as PlayStation has offered some hope, confirming that they’re working to bring them back in the future.
PlayStation Plans On Bringing Back All Four Themes In the Future
The PlayStation 30th Anniversary themes, which included unique bootup and menu sounds for every generation of PlayStation, will no longer be available starting tomorrow. PlayStation confirmed this on X, though they also confirmed it won’t be forever as they’re working behind the scenes to bring them back.
“Thank you for the fantastic response to the classic PlayStation, PS2, PS3, and PS4 limited-time console themes, which will be leaving tomorrow. Due to the positive response on these 4 themes, we’re doing some work behind the scenes to bring these special designs back in the months ahead.”
Themes have been one of the most requested console features ever since PlayStation first introduced them in the PS3. The PS4 was the last console to support themes until last December when the company surprised PS5 owners with themes to celebrate PlayStation’s 30th anniversary. The themes saw a custom bootup screen that would play the original PlayStation 1 boot-up with sound and all, along with some of the system menus and sound matching other generations of PlayStation consoles.
Fans instantly fell in love with the themes, but they were quickly saddened to learn they would only be available for a limited time. That news quickly spread, prompting many online to request that PlayStation allow the themes to remain forever.
While they leave tomorrow, it’s great to hear that the publisher heard the feedback and plans to bring them back down the road. Hopefully, the wait won’t be long, and fingers crossed, we’ll get more of these types of themes in the future.
