FULL STORY
======================================================================Sony is 
rolling out a 30th Anniversary update for PS5 It features dashboard themes 
inspired by prior PlayStation generations The update will, unfortunately, 
only be around for a limited time 

When you turn on your PS5 today, you might be greeted by arguably the most 
iconic home console boot-up sequence of all time. 

That's because Sony is rolling out dashboard themes and boot sequences 
inspired by prior console generations for PlayStation's ongoing 
30thanniversary celebrations. This was initially spotted by users over at 
Resetera , with the thread's creator showing (now deleted) screenshots with 
the classic themes applied. 

You'll know if the update has rolled out to your PS5 console as you'll be 
treated to that wonderful PS1 boot sequence. Then, you can head to Settings, 
and a new 'PlayStation 30th Anniversary' option will be featured at the top. 
Here, you can choose dashboard themes inspired by PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, or a 
general 30th anniversary one. You can also switch them off entirely if you 
hate fun. 

Each theme also seems to be accompanied by relevant sound effects for each 
console generation. If you've got a favorite PlayStation generation, then - 
say one you grew up with - you'll probably get quite the pleasant nostalgia 
trip out of this 30th Anniversary update. 

As great as this is, there is unfortunately a catch. These 30th anniversary 
themes will only be available for a limited time - as noted on that new 
settings page. Sony hasn't confirmed an end date for these limited themes, so 
hopefully we get a good few months with them at least. Though I must say I'll 
definitely miss them when they're gone. You might also like... This is not a 
drill, the PlayStation Portal 30th Anniversary Limited Edition is back in 
stock! It's really happening, the PS5 30th Anniversary DualSense is back in 
stock at Amazon There's still a massive $250 off PSVR 2 and there seems to be 
plenty of stock available
