New PS5 Update Missing a Popular Feature, Players Unhappy
PS5 system feature update

Today’s much-awaited PS5 system software update brought back PlayStation 30th anniversary themes, but players quickly realized that it’s missing a beloved feature. The PS1 boot sequence was left out of the update, leaving quite a few fans disappointed.

PS5 update should have added PS1 boot screen as an option, players say

As much of a bummer as this is, it’s somewhat understandable why Sony didn’t include the PS1 boot screen. The start up sequence, which was especially released to mark PlayStation’s 30th anniversary, replaced the PS5 boot sequence. The company probably wants to keep things uniform, ensuring that all players have the same start up screen when booting up a PS5 console.

That hasn’t stopped fans from wondering why the PS1 sequence wasn’t added as an option, but something is better than nothing, I say!

“Was hoping to see this return,” one disappointed player wrote on Reddit. “Sony, you literally had one job and that was to give us the boot up sounds for the PS1,” wrote another.

On the other hand, a few players expressed relief that they will not be “flash banged” by the PS1 boot screen again.

I’m personally delighted to have my PS3 UI theme and sounds back again! Which theme are our readers opting for?
