PS5 launched without many features we loved from the PS4. Over the years a few have come back, but one thing many people are unsure about is themes. Themes can be earned, downloaded, bought, or come bundled with certain games, giving your home screen a new look and background music related to different games or concepts. This made customizing your home screen much more fun and personal. How can you customize your PS5 home screen? What are the themes? Let's take a look.

Does the PS5 Have Themes? If So, What Are They?

No, the PS5 does not have any themes. Instead, when you highlight a game or app on your home screen, the background changes to an image related to that game and shows more information about it. While it is far from ideal, we will probably get back to the themes we had on our PS4.

How Can You Customize Your PS5 Home Screen?

Again, because the PS5 dynamically changes its background depending on what you are looking at, there is currently no way to change your background. Since the background is constantly changing, even if you had a custom image, it would keep changing as you scroll through games. There are a few other ways to customize your PS5, but unless Sony gives us an update option, there is no way to personalize your PS5.
