Sony is beta testing a PS5 feature update that should please fans who have been begging for better UI personalization. While we don’t expect the PS5 to ever match PS4’s socialization and customization options, it’s nice to see these baby steps towards a better UI experience.
New PS5 personalization feature update should make players happy
As spotted by YouTuber Mystic, Sony has added two new features to the PS5 Welcome Hub for select participants:
- Showcase Mode: When your PS5 is idle, widgets disappear to reveal a full view of the background.
- Slideshow: the background cycles through images from an album you select.
These beta features are available for a limited time and can be turned on via the Welcome Hub settings menu.
Frankly, I’m surprised that the Showcase Mode wasn’t introduced with the Welcome Hub. One of the first things players noticed was that the widgets hid background images, and the only solution was to remove as many widgets as possible and rearrange them in crafty ways.
Thankfully, we no longer have to do that. Both the Showcase and Slideshow modes are essentially screensavers, and with the latter, players can put all those beautiful in-game Photo Mode images they take to good use.
Again, these aren’t groundbreaking features and nothing like the PS4 themes, but we’re slowly getting there, it seems.
