You can now theme your PS5 to look like older PlayStation consoles

2024 marks the 30th anniversary of PlayStation, and while Sony had started the celebrations a couple months ago, the console maker has been ramping up its plans. With the PlayStation officially 30 years old now, Sony is allowing PS5 owners to customise their console’s software based on their favourite PlayStation generation.

In a surprise update dropped onto the PS5, booting up your console will hit you with a wave of nostalgia as the classic PS1 boot music reaches your ears.

For a limited time, you can theme your PS5’s software with visuals and audio based on your preferred generation – meaning PSOne, PS2, PS3 and PS4 themes are all available to use and enjoy.

Just as how they have constantly evolved their hardware, each PS generation has had its own unique UI, sound effects and other software quirks.

As such, it is exciting to see long-term PlayStation fans get to relive their favourite generation – even if just for a limited time.
