Overview

• Sony's PS5 system update, launching April 24, 2025, permanently restores PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, and 30th Anniversary themes, including iconic startup animations.
• Users can access and customize these themes via the new 'Appearance' menu in the PS5 settings.
• The update introduces Audio Focus, a feature offering four headphone-only presets to enhance specific sound frequencies: Boost Low Pitch, Boost Voices, Boost High Pitch, and Boost Quiet Sounds.
• Audio Focus works exclusively with USB or analog-connected headphones and is not supported for HDMI setups like TVs or soundbars.
• This update follows strong fan demand for the themes' return after their limited-time debut during PlayStation's 30th anniversary celebration in December 2024.
