Sony has brought back its classic PlayStation console themes to PS5 as part of a new update, the company announced on Wednesday.
The classic themes, originally introduced to celebrate PlayStation’s 30th anniversary, were supposed to be a limited time promotion. But shortly before the themes were set to go away, Sony promised that it would bring them back due to the “fantastic response.”
The themes are styled after the PlayStation, PS2, PS3, and PS4, and they even include the iconic startup sounds from those consoles.
If you’re as old as I am, this video might fill you with nostalgia.
With the new update, you’ll be able to set the classic themes from an “Appearance” menu in your PS5 settings.
The update also adds “audio focus” settings that you can tweak to better hear certain things while using headphones. There are four presets, including one to boost voices, and you can adjust the left and right channels and whether the audio focus is weak, medium, or strong.
