This adds limited-time themes to celebrate all PlayStation console generations to mark PlayStation\u2019s 30<sup>th<\/sup> Anniversary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The original Sony PlayStation 1 console launched in Japan on December 3, 1994, getting released in Europe and North America the following year. Over the next decade, the PlayStation 1 would cement Sony as a major player in the video game industry, boasting classic exclusives like Final Fantasy VII to IX, Metal Gear Solid, Tomb Raider, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon and many more. To mark the PS1\u2019s 30<sup>th<\/sup> birthday, Sony also dropped the nostalgic video below, which features many popular games and characters from throughout the last three decades.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"30th Anniversary | Thank You\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KkmonzpHVRg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest PS5 update allows you to tap into that nostalgia each time you boot up your console. Five brand new menu themes have been added to the PS5 so that you can choose your favorite console generation. The original PlayStation theme features the chunky gray console along the bottom of the menu, while the PlayStation 2 theme brings back those iconic blocks and cubes. Likewise, the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 themes mimic the menu designs of their specific consoles. For those who can\u2019t pick favorites, the PlayStation 30<sup>th<\/sup> Anniversary theme features the PlayStation buttons across the bottom of the screen. All themes also come with enough nostalgic sounds to give you goosebumps- including the start-up screens.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-palette-color-10-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-fb339ae09bbf6dee240e001579e8dcca\" id=\"playstation-30th-anniversary-themes-on-ps5\" style=\"font-size:1px\">PlayStation 30th Anniversary themes on PS5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241203-40715-001.jpg\" alt=\"PS5 feature update PlayStation 30th Anniversary themes PlayStation 1 theme\" class=\"wp-image-40720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241203-40715-001.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241203-40715-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/20241203-40715-001-768x432.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>These themes are available for a limited time only (at the time of writing, Sony hasn\u2019t specified when they will end), so PS5 owners are advised to make the most of them while they can.
