PlayStation 5 surprise system update brings back themes

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be

Sony has officially confirmed a brand-new system update for the PlayStation 5, and it's got some big new features.

The major headline here is that the new PlayStation 5 system software update - available 24 April - will bring back the special classic console themes that were originally released as part of the PlayStation 30th anniversary celebrations.

"During our 30th anniversary celebrations, we surprised our fans with a limited time selection of nostalgic customization features for the PS5 System UI to honor the four PlayStation consoles that paved the way for PS5: PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4," a blog post reads.

"Due to the overwhelmingly positive response from our community, we’re happy to bring back the look and feel of the four console designs for players to customize the home screen on PS5!"

The new update will also introduce a feature called Audio Focus, which should make it easier than ever to tailor games to your own unique aural tastes.

The blog post from Sony explains: "Audio focus increases immersion by providing presets to amplify soft sounds to meet your hearing preferences, ensuring a clearer audio experience when using headphones or headsets. This feature supports broader accessibility in audio experiences."

This new feature will allow you to choose from four presets:

  • Boost Low Pitch: Amplify low-frequency sounds like roaring engines and rumbling noises.
  • Boost Voices: Amplify voice chats, character voices, and other middle-frequency sounds.
  • Boost High Pitch: Amplify high-frequency sounds like footsteps and metallic noises.
  • Boost Quiet Sounds: Amplify low-volume sounds in a wide range of frequencies.

Those are the two big changes coming in the update, which you should be able to download to your PS5 from tomorrow!
