Sony is finally taking the personalization step PlayStation 5 users have been waiting for for years. The new PS5 slide feature transforms the console’s home screen from monotonous to much more dynamic.

What does the PS5 slide feature offer?

This new feature integrates with the recently launched Welcome Hub. Sony eliminates the need for users to select a single background image. Now, players can create a custom album of their own choice.

The system being tested displays the images you select on the screen in a slideshow format. This eliminates the need to constantly see the same image while navigating the menus. This move makes the interface feel much more modern.

The most striking aspect of the feature is its flexibility. You can add your favorite in-game screenshots from your gallery or Sony’s animated backgrounds to the list. The system changes these images according to your own set of rules.

You can manage the frequency of access through the Settings menu. For example, you can have a different image appear every time you turn on the console or wake it from sleep mode. This way, your console offers a different atmosphere every time you start it up.

The lack of dynamic themes from the PS4 era was frequently criticized by PS5 users. This new slide system, while not quite the same as the old ones, offers a similar level of freedom. Sony is expected to roll out this feature to all users soon.
