Overview
- Sony's April 24, 2025, PS5 firmware update reinstates classic console themes from PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4, now accessible via a new 'Appearance' menu in system settings.
- The update also introduces 'Audio Focus,' an accessibility feature offering four customizable presets to amplify specific audio frequencies for headphone users.
- Audio Focus presets include options to boost low pitch, voices, high pitch, and quiet sounds, with adjustable strength and channel settings.
- The firmware update (version 25.03-11.20.00) is being deployed globally in phases, starting in the United Kingdom.
- Sony's decision to permanently restore the themes follows overwhelmingly positive community feedback from their limited-time availability during the PlayStation 30th anniversary celebration.
