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.

Zombr Another thing the Xbox doesn't allow. I should have gone with a PS4.


It might come in the future, it isn't that big a deal lmao.


I do agree. Themes do not make or break a console to me as I do not care what it looks like as long as it runs the way that it is supposed to.


Plus,you have to include the w8 layout for x1. themes would be hard

No, it's just the default theme.
