Summary

  • The popular PS5 30th Anniversary themes are being removed on January 31, but Sony plans to bring them back in the future.
  • A specific date for their return has not been announced.
  • Sony has no plans for additional dynamic themes on the PS5, disappointing fans who enjoyed this feature on the PS4.

On January 31st, it has been confirmed that Sony will be withdrawing the well-liked PlayStation 30th Anniversary themes from PlayStation 5 gaming consoles. Last year, Sony honored PlayStation’s 30th anniversary by releasing special hardware and dynamic themes as a nod to its classic consoles. For several months now, PS5 gamers have had the opportunity to personalize their console dashboards with these themes, recreating nostalgic touches from the PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4. These themes even brought back the renowned PS1 start-up sequence.

The PlayStation 30th Anniversary themes for the PS5 have garnered significant interest due to being the console’s only dynamic themes so far. Fans were aware that these themes weren’t intended as permanent additions, but there was uncertainty regarding their eventual removal. However, Sony has recently disclosed the specific date when the 30th Anniversary themes will be taken off PS5, and regrettably, this action is imminent.

Via Twitter, Sony announced that the PlayStation 30th Anniversary themes will no longer be available starting on January 31st. This development is undoubtedly disappointing for PlayStation enthusiasts, but there’s a silver lining: Sony has acknowledged the positive feedback on these themes and mentioned they are working behind the scenes to bring them back in the upcoming months. It remains unclear if the themes will be permanent upon their return, however, it does appear that Sony is taking note of the fan request for the Anniversary themes.

  • Friday, January 31

Initially, when Sony introduced the PlayStation 30th Anniversary themes, some of us enthusiasts saw it as a hint that they were preparing the groundwork for the PS5 to offer more dynamic themes. We appreciated these customizable backgrounds on the PS4, and many of us have expressed our disappointment that Sony didn’t continue this feature on the PS5.
