PS5 Update Adds Cool New Animated Theme

PS5 system feature update

Sony has stealth dropped a new PS5 feature update that adds a gorgeous animated theme for the Welcome Hub. We previously received a batch of new themes back in April, and while this update only brings one theme — a high-res animated Monster Hunter Wilds background — we appreciate having more choice of animated backgrounds.

New stealth PS5 update is welcome, but full UI themes would be more welcome

Sony began rolling out new themes along with the Welcome Hub, but unfortunately, they remain confined to that corner of the PS5’s UI. We don’t expect the company to bring back PS4-style dynamic themes at this point in the PS5’s life cycle, but we’ll keep our fingers crossed for their return on the PS6.

As for today’s update, Sony didn’t advertise anything. Upon entering the Welcome Hub, players are greeted with a notification of the new background. As a reminder, we can make our own static backgrounds for the Welcome Hub using in-game screenshots, but this is a high-res animated background from Monster Hunter Wilds, and it certainly looks cool.

If you don’t see the notification for a new background in your Welcome Hub, fret not. Sony tends to stagger the rollout of PS5 feature updates, so it will eventually appear.
