The PS5’s retro console themes go away tomorrow, but they will return.

Sony sadly wasn’t kidding when it said the original PlayStation, PS2, PS3, and PS4 themes for the PS5 were a limited-time thing. According to the official PlayStation account on X, the themes are being removed tomorrow, January 31st, but will return “in the months ahead.”

Hopefully we’ll get even better themes so I can make my PS5 look and feel just like a PS2 — minus the disc read errors.
