This is a nostalgic update for all those who loved the classic retro starting of PS1 or PS2’s iconic theme and sounds.
PS5 Customizations
There are different options you can choose from:
30th anniversary- this adds a new banner that runs along the edge of your home menu with the number 30 integrated into the classic Triangle, Cross, Circle, and Square symbols.
For the PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4, there are similar banners. The PS1 banner features an image of the classic console, while the others draw inspiration from the iconic background themes of their respective generations.
These console-specific options are really exciting, as the menu sounds have been carefully designed to match the style of each PlayStation generation as you scroll and select things on the menu.
Also, there’s a thank you message when shutting down or restarting your console as “Thanks for being part of this journey” along with the 30th-anniversary logo.
