PS Store Got a Cool Stealth Update Alongside New PS5 UI

Sony dropped another stealth update for the PS5 PS Store alongside the recent UI changes. Like the UI update, these changes are currently only available to select users in various parts of the world. This is not a beta update and doesn’t require any kind of program participation.

What’s new in PS5’s PS Store update for April 2026

Players who received the update noticed that Sony has overhauled the PS5 PS Store’s “Browse” tab, moving the “Recently Released” category up top. This section now displays large playable video icons rather than game thumbnails. Beneath the icons are relevant tags for each game as well as a brief one-line description.

Here’s what it looks like, as shown by a Reddit user who received the update:

There are some unconfirmed reports that these video trailers auto-play when players hover over them, but we haven’t received the update ourselves and can’t confirm if this is indeed the case. Additionally, it’s unclear if these changes are being applied across the store or just certain sections.

Up until now, players would have to enter a game’s PS Store page in order to get the information that’s now available up front.

Both the PS5 UI and PS Store console updates started rolling out a week ago. There’s been no word from Sony, and players are still figuring out the rollout pattern. So far, we can confirm that the updates are not limited to beta participants and aren’t being staggered by region.
