The April 2025 update 25.03-11.20.00 is available on all PlayStation 5s, including the PS5 Pro. It improves, or rather refines, audio performance, with new profiles that amplify bass for low frequencies, voices, treble, and less audible soft sounds. But above all, this firmware marks the return of a highly requested feature that had only been temporarily offered to players. Now, you can reinstall PlayStation 1 to 4 themes on your console interface.
PS1 nostalgics disappointed with the firmware 25.03-11.20.00 PS5
The PS5 firmware from April 2025 brings back designs inspired by classic PlayStation consoles for the interface of all PlayStation 5 models. You can go to System => Appearance => Appearance and sound and select the PS1, PS2, PS3 or PS4 settings to dress up your machine. This way, you can have nods to previous consoles at different places, including the PS5 home menu, both visual and audio. But the latest update does not make everyone happy and is a slight disappointment for some.
On various networks such as X, Reddit or YouTube, some did not fail to point out that the PS1 boot screen, with the legendary sound, was not available on PS5. And inevitably, many people expected to have the whole thing, and not just some of the themes offered as part of PlayStation's 30th anniversary. " But it's the PS1 boot that we want above all "; "Everyone wants the PS1 boot"; "Sony, you literally only had one thing to do, give us the PS1 boot sounds." For some players, this PS5 update 25.03-11.20.00 is therefore incomplete and less interesting than during the 30th anniversary.
If PlayStation has decided to bring back the themes of its old consoles on PS5, it is thanks to the mobilization of fans. " Due to the incredible response you've received to this initiative, we're excited to announce that you'll soon be able to customize your PS5 home screen with designs from these four consoles! ". Seeing some of the comments, the manufacturer might backtrack... Are you disappointed?
