How to Change Background on PlayStation 5
With the PS5 almost turning a year old, Sony has still not enabled the option to change themes or backgrounds for the PS5. Why have they not enabled it? Nobody knows. Things could change if and when Sony drops a PS5 update to let users change themes and backgrounds for their PS5. Until then you will have to stick with what is the default theme on the PS5. So now you know that the changes can be done easily on the PlayStation 4. With the PlayStation 5, we will have to wait and see when an update enables users to customize their home screens. Well, we could hope things like this could happen since Sony dropped Update 5.50 for the PS4 to have this feature. So yes, we could see it happen in the future. But when? Only time will tell.
