I don’t know if I’m gonna be using this really because I could just use the quick bar which already has my messages and friend list and so on. Plus it’s faster than going on to the home menu to look at my controller battery or something.
Yessir! I'll admit, not a big fan of themes overall but it's cool to see some personalization features come to PS5 for those that want it. Thanks for the comment! - Kevin
While I hope that they can allow us to have the option to keep these themes still being shown throughout the games and applications, despite of all that I am happy that we finally get something close to themes. All I'm hoping is that it can add more animated backgrounds and some type of music or little theme to change throughout the whole system or even a color palette. Okay maybe I might be asking a lot but still this is great.
Nah I hear you for sure, adding music would be a good call to the Welcome Hub actually. More animated backgrounds and game centric backgrounds are surely on the way I assume, but I wouldn’t hold my breath for those to permeate across the whole system with games taking up the full background as you scroll. But hey who knows maybe they end up doing it! Appreciate the comment and I hope you stick around! - Kevin
I agree! Granted it came a few years after PS4’s launch but definitely a needed addition for sure. Thank you for your comment and I hope you stick around! - Kevin
This morning I woke up to the appearance of the "welcome center" (annoying center), how can I make it disappear so that it does not receive messages when the machine is turned on?
I LOVE the media gallery. Might make a video on it but I think it’s a really great addition that reminds me of all the games I’ve played on PS5. Especially if you have it on Shuffle it’s really dope. Appreciate the comment and I hope you stick around! - Kevin
Really just a waste of an update should’ve had this in the beginning. Sony needs to focus on games because right now I’m hella disappointed in the selection available
Hella hyped about it. The customizable wallpapers are my favorite, among other features. I powered on my PS5 on Tuesday after work, and was pleasantly surprised to see it there waiting for me.
Of course! Thank you so much for the comment really means a lot, I’ve recently came back to making videos on this channel and I want to aim it to be the prime art source (pun intended) for all things PlayStation from hardware, games, and lore along with being helpful to the viewer. I want to be a valuable asset that you subscribe to, so I appreciate this comment very much. Hope you stick around! - Kevin
Well, the wallpapers are ok. But why force me to see widgets? I'm super angry I can't get them off my screen. What's the hype of forcing you to see them😡🤬😡. If I want to see them, all I have to do is press the ps button and voilá they are there. If someone knows how to turn them off, please 🙏, I'll really appreciate the help.
I believe you can turn off all but 3 widgets, but you could make those widgets really small and put them along the bottom or top to keep them from obstructing your view. Appreciate your comment and hope you stick around! - Kevin
Yeah just been seeing some people not having access to it yet so wanted to make sure viewers knew that they're rolling out the update in phases. Appreciate the comment! - Kevin
I get that this video is at least a month old, but now that I've seen other people's welcome hubs, I realized my backgrounds are too dark. I have no idea why. Any ideas?
I hope they add the option to buy themes like with the Playstation 4, but until then, I'll be content with my night springs picture I took in Alan Wake 2
Hmmmmm. So I imagine you can maybe find it online and upload it to the PS5 through a USB device? That’s the only strategy I could think of. Appreciate the comment! - Kevin
I also noticed that the "continue where you left off" activity acreens for games has been disabled with this update? I remember this feature bothering me as games like Ghost of Tsushima and Fortnite constantly has a different screen instead of the their normal display art. I remember this bothering me since I got my PS5 last year, so I hope it's officially gone for good. I want to see the game's menu art, not some random image from the game!
Oh snap I actually didn’t notice the Start where you left off, didn’t really use it either. I bet Sony got telemetry saying people didn’t really use it. But those images on the gallery were screenshots I captured directly from my PS5! Although it would be cool to have key art for the games you had installed, neat idea. Appreciate the comment very much! - Kevin
Can it be deleted is all I want to know? I don’t like the way it goes to the welcome tab when you first turn the PS5 on. I like to keep it on the game I’m currently playing.
I think you can revert to the original theme in the top left of the selection screen? Maybe? Appreciate the comment and I hope you stick around! - Kevin
I like what they're trying to do but the one thing I wish they would probably bring back if they ever do is the community's I had so many that can help me on online games that I it got stuck in some areas I can't wait to see you to if they bring you back like the theme song for The other PS systems they had I am not like to see if you can transfer like your PS4 ones like things that you had to your PS5 an this video did help me.
So in theory you could take an image from your phone, put it on a USB device, then upload it by connecting it to your PS5 and importing it to your media gallery. I want to test this though not sure if it would works but I don’t see why it wouldn’t. Appreciate the comment hope you stick around! - Kevin
@@PSSourceVids thank you Kevin!! I found out that sending someone or an alt account an image on the ps app is easier and then screenshotting it. But thanks anyways
I've been taking screenshots of the Welcome Tab with no widgets but I wish there was a way to get clean versions, I hope you enjoyed the video! - Kevin
Those seem to be developer made so hoping we get new ones moving forward with titles like Wolverine, Death Stranding 2, etc. Appreciate the comment! - Kevin
So those are more notifications that will appear briefly then disappear when it’s done. Just to show progress of a game downloading, upload of a screenshot to your PS App etc. As far as I understand those aren’t meant to be adjusted at all. Appreciate the comment! - Kevin
I named my ps5 “fives”, named after a clone trooper named “fives” from the clone wars. It’s because the clone troopers color themes are blue (blue fire) black and white (armour) is like the ps5 theme color of black and white (design) and blue (blue lights)
As of now it looks like it’s only Astro Bot but I hope more are coming given it has a specific section in the UI. Appreciate the comment and hope you stick around! - Kevin
Unbelievably pointless update, all information that was quick and easy to access before. Plus the background is pointless as it can.only be seen in that tab.
Just a habit. There used to be other people that worked on this channel so I'd comment my name so people knew who was replying, I kinda like the personal touch to it. I hope you enjoyed the video! - Kevin
I would love to buy themes or get the old persona 3 theme that shit was fire
Yea I had the persona 3 dancing on my ps4. Goated fr
Bringing back classic themes would be really great. Appreciate the comment and I hope you stick around! - Kevin
Some of those themes like for 5 we had limited time to platinum the game and get the code, now we can’t use them
If u platinum a game. It’d be sick to get ur own animated background for it
Dope idea! That would be really neat, thank you for commenting! - Kevin
Internet explorer could have made themes faster than sony.
LOL. - Kevin
I don’t know if I’m gonna be using this really because I could just use the quick bar which already has my messages and friend list and so on. Plus it’s faster than going on to the home menu to look at my controller battery or something.
Finally Themes!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm annoyed that we still have no folders. That was an essential feature on ps4.
I agree! Granted it came a few years after PS4’s launch but definitely a needed addition for sure. Thank you for your comment and I hope you stick around! - Kevin
We have gamelists
@@TurboTurds30 Which is useless. The homescreen is still a mess.
The option I couldn't find was how to switch it off
Because Sony didn't give us one :(
This morning I woke up to the appearance of the "welcome center" (annoying center), how can I make it disappear so that it does not receive messages when the machine is turned on?
Its there a way to remove it from you home screen? I honestly don't use any of it because all the stuff on it was already there
Hmmmmm like remove the entire Welcome Hub? I don’t believe so, I’m gonna do some testing on it though. - Kevin
I have tried several things I could think of, but I've not figured it out. Hopefully in a future update *fingers crossed, but not holding my breath*
How do I disable that tile completely?
Which tile? Under “Edit Widgets” you can toggle which ones you want on or off. Hope that helps and that you enjoyed the video! - Kevin
Need to add a music widget. For me at least, there is nothing useful there. Media gallery is the only one i like.
I LOVE the media gallery. Might make a video on it but I think it’s a really great addition that reminds me of all the games I’ve played on PS5. Especially if you have it on Shuffle it’s really dope. Appreciate the comment and I hope you stick around! - Kevin

I just want folders on the home screen like we did on ps4
Yeah I was kind of confused why this wasn't with the PS5 on launch tbh. Seems like a sensical addition. Hopefully soon! - Kevin
Maybe in another 3 years
Just go into your setting and check for the update if you haven't gotten it yet.
Indeed. Appreciate the comment and I hope you stick around! - Kevin
Dont have it bruh i live in canada
The SOLO menú is really the best option for solo players or its better like you have?

I am in Canada and just had my software upgrade but never had this feature

Ok but what games have backgrounds to give? Afaik everyone only has the one from Astros playroom

When i go to the games my background go away:(
How do you change the download widgets? I noticed the widgets appear on the top of the screen or the button when you're downloading something.
