PlayStation adds limited-time themes from past consoles to celebrate 30th anniversary

Sony is going full nostalgia, celebrating its 30th anniversary, and a recent update has added options for users to customize the theme of their PlayStation consoles. The update gives players an option to use PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, standard PS5 or 30th Anniversary themes including some visual and audio features for a limited time.

“For a limited time, you can change parts of the PS5 design based on your favorite generation of PlayStation. Select a design to apply to your home screen and other areas,” the 30th anniversary section after the update said.

Sadly, at the moment, this feature is only available for limited-time which is a shame as fans seem to having fun using different theme. A majority of the users are calling out PlayStation and Sony to make this option permanent, but they are yet to hear back.

Sony thanking gamers for their support

There was also a celebration video for the 30th anniversary showcasing some of the best games released on PlayStation, with the company thanking users. Fans were pleasantly surprised to find Bloodborne among the compilation.

“For the past three decades, we've shared an incredible journey, building stories and shaping experiences together. Along the way, we've found adventure, laughter, and lasting memories that go far beyond any one moment. We've forged new friendships and redefined what gaming is all about. Thank you for being part of this journey, we couldn't have done it without you,” Sony said.

Apart from that, there is an ongoing sale on games and PlayStation consoles/peripherals, so now might be a good time to grab the game you always wanted and finally put the broken controller to rest.
