A controversial PS5 UI replace that Sony known as a “bug” final yr is outwardly again, however in a restricted capability. Someday over the past day or two, recreation tiles for sure PS5 video games as soon as once more began changing background artwork with “official information” and game-related advertisements that gamers can’t flip off.
PS5 replace replaces background pictures underneath recreation tiles with ‘official information’ and advertisements
I first observed the change when enjoying RoboCop: Rogue Metropolis. The background picture underneath the sport tile is now changed with an commercial for the sport’s upcoming stand-alone enlargement.
I took the screenshots under at the moment. The primary screenshot reveals the unique RoboCop: Rogue Metropolis background picture, which now solely seems if I take my console offline. The second screenshot reveals what replaces the unique artwork when the console is on-line.
Now, this isn’t fairly egregious because the earlier “bug” that brought on virtually all recreation tiles to be clogged with irrelevant advertisements and random “official information.” Personally, this doesn’t trouble me simply but, however I do hope that this doesn’t escalate into full-blown advertisements as soon as once more.
I checked on-line to see if anybody else was experiencing this, and observed a current Reddit thread the place a person complained that a number of of their video games had been not displaying the unique background pictures.
I’m undecided if that is final yr’s “bug” returning or a everlasting new function. Both means, it’s actually not my favourite PS5 replace.
