PlayStation 5 Home Screen Displaying Ads Was A “Tech Error”

Sony Addresses PS5 Home Screen Ad Issue: A Technical Glitch

Following recent complaints from PlayStation 5 users, Sony has confirmed that the unexpected appearance of promotional materials on the PS5 home screen was due to a technical error.

Sony's Official Response: A Resolved Technical Error

In a tweet, Sony stated that a technical issue affecting the Official News feature on PS5 consoles has been resolved. They emphasized that no changes were made to how game news is normally displayed.

User Frustration Over PS5 Update

The update, rolled out recently, caused the PS5 home screen to display ads, promotional artwork, and outdated news, leading to widespread user dissatisfaction. Many users reported that the changes, seemingly implemented gradually over weeks, became fully apparent after the latest update. The new design reportedly features art and news related to the game currently selected by the user.

Mixed Reactions and User Feedback

While Sony has acknowledged and addressed the issue, the changes continue to receive criticism. Some users consider the implementation a poor decision, citing the replacement of unique game art with promotional thumbnails as a significant drawback. Others question the rationale behind paid advertisements on a premium console. The lack of an opt-out option has further fueled negative sentiment.
