HUGE missed opportunity to have the ps2/3/4 boot animations man. The literal chills I had just thinking about the PS2 boot screen got me really hyped :(

[@UltimateInkling]

My only guess why its limited is that theyre testing the waters and later on youll have to buy them.

[@cyclops8238]

If this is to test the waters then I am very excited. They also proved that they can do a custom boot animation so maybe they will add the other consoles later or even have custom boots depending on what type of theme you have.

[@DavidBerger-g2h]

​@@cyclops8238Its pretty sad how they turned from Custom Themes made by Community (PS3) to that ... Steam Deck already is fully customizable.

[@benjaminbenjamin8392]

they don't care. sony doesn't want streamers to have nkd woman on there ps5 screen. or maybe because during the ps3 psp and ps4 era there were bugs found that would have the themes boot in a mode where it could be modded.

Marketing

[@pieck5460]

​@@benjaminbenjamin8392you technically can still put any image you want in the main hub tab all you have to do is take a screenshot while in the browser and crop the picture or you can send it through messages and do it that way personally not risking a ban for "nudity detection" if they even exists lol

[@reblitgaming]

Sony needs to give us option permanently, what kind of start up you want, and from what era, after hearing og PlayStation start up tune, it felt amazing.

[@ChewyChicken589]

Modders will figure it out

[@RyanMiahH]

I wish they'd let me keep the PS2 theme

[@AihamMohammad-p7l]

I made a ps2 theme on my ps5

[@dersternenzähler]

You can try to not Update your console. I will disconnect mine from the psn network, unplug my lan cable and wont Update. I think without WiFi they can't take it away.

[@hermes_job_observer144]

I have the unofficial PS2 theme called "Legacy" on my PS4 Pro. It's pretty well done. I highly recommend it if you're looking for that nostalgic touch and still own a PS4!

[@dersternenzähler]

@hermes_job_observer144 if you can give me an tutorial on how to do it (or Name a Video/channel which explains it well) i will definetly try it.

[@brownboyfly]

If nothing else at least let us keep the sounds. Scrolling through the menus with the ps2 sounds is so satisfying

[@positiveproductions6699]

I don't understand how we can't keep these themes at least because this is proof that they can do themes on PS5 I know they don't want to but it would be nice to at least be able to keep these instead of it being a limited time thing

[@animegeek3109]

Im sure they will,seeing how everyone loves it, i bet they will see if theres any complaints like not having ps2 opening sound and will implement it when they fully release it

[@positiveproductions6699]

@animegeek3109 I really hope so because I know they can add themes and if this is permanent hopefully we can get themes in the future because I like the welcome hub backgrounds but it's just not the same as the dynamic theme to me personally

[@CountDracula2727]

if they would keep it would probally be 50-100 knowing playstation

[@cornclub]

Respect Sony's decision. We should be thankful that they even allowed us to experience a theme.

[@jam237]

If i don't update ever again, does my ps5 become rare like 360 blades? lol

[@codyl1992]

Ugh, I want that PS2 boot screen haha

[@ZAWFUL]

I always thought it was cool once I found out the towers and everything changes depending on what you had on your memory card and how big each save was.

[@muhdeimanhakimy1869]

yeah i want when we open game it will show ps2 boot screen

[@xasumiji]

It sucks that its only limited time. This should be permanent...

[@El_Diego86]

Most likely will be but we'll have to pay for it.

[@lapis591]

I think it's limited time in that if you have a PS5 now and download the update, you get to have it. If you buy a PS5 or update it after this promotion period, you don't get to have it on your system. I don't think Sony takes it away if you already downloaded it during the promotion period. You just don't get to have it if you buy a PS5 afterwards. That's my interpretation.

[@AlfQueda]

@@lapis591 Sony has stated that the retro interface designs, including the PS1 boot-up experience, will only be available for a limited time. While no end date for this feature has been announced, fans are encouraged to enjoy the nostalgic nods while they last.

[@STPerson1234]

Gonna miss this when its gone 😭

[@AihamMohammad-p7l]

You can use any ps theme without internet

[@Twee13]

0:36-0:38 I did the download yesterday. After I heard the sound, I messaged my sister and told her to update her PS5 ASAP. It surprised the heck out of her! She and I both went with the PS1 setup. We've had every PlayStation since the 1. We're waiting for Lara's next birthday to get the next 3 Tomb Raiders(2/14/2025). Tomb Raider was her entry in to PlayStation. Mine was along the lines of Spyro, Crash and Gex.

[@TEHbirls]

How long do u think this will be there because I really want that sound. I have a ps4 and am getting a ps5 for Christmas.

[@Twee13]

@TEHbirls Not sure.

[@HUYI1]

Yep, I told my mate to install this update, what I like about it is when you restart it has a jingle and animation as well as the bootup, pretty neat to say the least

[@WilliamMora-e7v]

THATS AWESOME!!!!, IM GLAD TO HEAR, WHATS UR PSN? MAYBE WE COULD PLAY TOGETHER AS I HAVE PS5 TOO?

[@positiveproductions6699]

I agree with what you said in the video but they also need to add themes back so we can use them because that was part of the appeal of the PS3 and PS4 generation to me you could customize your background

[@activeyaw]

Slightly lazy offering the themes of the PS2, PS3 and PS4 but not the Individual boot animation sequences.

[@Ario.of.Persia]

It should stay permanent! Not a limited time! Come on SONY!

[@UNDIEGRUNDY]

Got to admit, Sony knows how to market to its shills. They drip feed you nostalgic moments, then they take them away. If they cared they would leave it permanently for its fans to enjoy. They would also release more PS1 classics instead 1 or 2 each month. Astrobot was like a punch to the gut. It showed soo many franchises that Sony has forgotten and left in the past and will never make sequels to.

[@Space97.]

Only if enough people show interest. That's how it works for game companies

[@kaushik6371]

If we mod the ps5 we can do more than what sony offered here😅

[@VRVegeta]

That's not saying much.

[@joseijosei]

Or... just don't use a PS5 and use Playnite on PC.

[@Space97.]

​@@joseijoseii don't know anything about computers

[@joseijosei]

@@Space97. It's just an app you can use. It's nice to control your PC as if it was a console, using a controller. You can turn on your PC with a controller when you are using it on a TV, and navigation is just like on consoles. You can costumize it how ever you want. You have themes, like PS5ish, to navigate like on a PS5, but it's just that. Just to have all your games in one place, including emulated ones.

[@ealexjrdn1]

That's permanently the main theme for my ps4. Love that theme and the ps2 so much 😊

[@meneses_i2301]

I fail to understand the reasoning behind making this a timed exclusive. Charge a small fee or something and monetize it, so people can own these.

[@a8f235]

They should simply just remove the 30th Anniversary logo after this period is done, and just call it *_Startup and menus_* and you can just select your preference there. This should never cost anything, because the next thing would be them starting to charge us for normal updates.

[@GlitchedPepsi]

“Charge a small fee” lol. Meanwhile on Xbox themes are free

[@RenegadePandaZ]

@@GlitchedPepsi Xbox started the idea of charging for themes. Back when their systems had a UI worth looking at. Modern Xbox doesn't have themes so much as it has a single JPG in the background that is obscured by the dogsht UI.

[@liger4414]

@@lnfinyx what? lmao. with consoles, you can physically own your games. At least in the case of PS and Nintendo users. (Xbox doesn't have the full games on the discs). So that's already infinitely better than PC, save for GOG letting you at least keep your digital games.

To commemorate their 30th anniversary, they've created a limited-time nostalgic experience. We will discuss past events in the future. Because of this.

[@AdamWulfric]

I think it’s ridiculous that it’s only for a limited time I can already see some crazy scalper that has a 30th anniversary edition PS5 Pro with this update set to offline to keep it permanently this of course is assuming Sony never actually brings this theme update and this pack specifically back

[@temul]

need to separate the boot screen and the onscreen clutter as different options, def love the boot screen

You know what we all want, the ability to change the dashboard to any playstation generation with themes and sound and you know it.

heres hoping atleast by "limited time" is the feature update wont be around for long to *get* but keep forever if you had it. (i dont want to lose the PS2 theme ;-;)

[@russelltoh1064]

what if on the day they have the update to remove the 30th annivarsary update just dont update the ps5 so it stays like the 30th annivarsary theme

Nah, they have to let us keep these. It’s insane to keep them temporary, but Sony is insane nowadays.

[@Sleepster1999]

Think they should keep the update

[@Jediwolf36]

There’s an option to minimize the welcome hub tabs

[@TakiGamesOfficial]

I would’ve loved to have that weird boot up screen where it looks like you’re looking into the abyss with a bunch of cubes and floating dots. I grew up with the ps2 boot screen, there were so many good games on that platform. Seems like less and less every advancement of console generation. 2~3 were the golden days.

[@ryangranada2814]

I found out recently that I could use my screenshots as my background, and the anniversary keeps the background with the themes too every single theme.

[@SensuisRevenge]

I remember buying the ps2 theme on my ps4 😩 it booted up just like the ps2 and had the same ambiance and everything 😪 they gotta bring themes back man

Felt so odd when I turned my ps5 on to see the ps1 flash screen, set it to show the ps2 background, was playing a ps4 game on my ps5. 4 different generations at once. I want it permanently.

[@ChrisKarlic]

[@CLC-1000]

This better be available on the launch PS5, and if it is, it should be on permanent.

[@Soulintent95]

I had no idea this was gonna happen. I booted my ps5 today and had a stroke. This is so cool and i really hope they let us keep it, and start doing themes again. I have mine on ps4, i like the ps2 theme but idk i just really miss ps4. Whats even more awesome is i had just installed just cause 3 again, which was one of my 1st ps4 games. So it was awesome to make my ps5 into a ps4 and play ps4 games.

[@THEBATMAN28AHH]

Boot up(s) is a disclaimer, even with the PS2 theme, it uses the PS1 startup sound

[@bomb_star932]

So it’s a limited time to get the theme or only use it for a limited time? And you can only keep one?
