PS4 firmware update adding themes

4.6
Similar to the Vita, Sony has announced that a future software update on the PS4 will add the ability to use themes, giving players the ability to customize the console's dashboard.

Themes teased during the reveal were animated, featuring famous PlayStation Japan characters Toro and Kuro kicking back in a kitchen. Paging through the sections of the PS4 dashboard changed the background image.

Again, like the Vita reveal earlier this evening, it's unclear if players will be able to select any images to customize their console or if themes will be limited to content available on the PlayStation Store.

A release date for the update had not been revealed. Check out another example of the PS4 themes in action after the break.

Zips You'd think they would of had this at the start, as they did with the PS3


I agree man, But I think they didn't care for the themes until now.

Themes dont make a console any better.


exactly, it literally does nothing unless you stare at the home screen all day

I just hope they'd be a lot different than Playstation's.
