PS4 Gets 31 New Themes, Including Several Dynamic Ones: Screenshots Inside

Today Sony released a whopping 31 new themes for the PS4 on the PSN. Here's a full list and a gallery with all the screenshots provided.

[sprinterboy]

I will buy all astronomy themes lol, such a sucker for them

[CARROT180994]

if only the blue code was green, id get that, matrix ftw

[Magicite]

blue = ps4, green = x1.

[nveenio]

I'm getting it anyway.

[ZombieKiller]

Soo what if you prefer Playstation and green at the same time?

[playstation4epic]

Blue is best

[Abriael]

I got the turtles one and it's actually really nice. Nice music and the 3D turtles are nicely animated, swimming around and over the UI. It's quite soothing :D

[ZombieKiller]

I like turtles.

[blacktiger]

turtle are the best, they have their own mobile house!

[masterfox]

pirate girl for me!!, but damn 3.49 ? damn you Sony you tempting me!! :D

[LonDonE]

I wish we could just install our own custom themes or better yet give us an app which allows us to make our own theme!

I used the freebie playstation now theme and it looks AWESOME! the blue globe with all the games and all electrified with the PS logo in the middle looks sooooo boss!!!
I just cant bring myself to buy these themes, they should be free for plus users!

[LackTrue4K]

there all cheap and ugly....its just a simple wallpaper in the background. and for 2.99.....they must be joking? haha

I raterh have/buy real official PlayStation themes.

all 31 of them, look terrible.

[MASTER_RAIDEN]

yeah, imo "A Nebula" is without a doubt the best looking theme of the bunch. hopefully the themes music is just as nice!

[BallsEye]

Paid themes... Sony should take MS approach and rather give themes for achievements in games and others for free.

[tlougotg]

Why would Sony do that? Sony already kills Microsoft in regards to the free games it offers on plus, the free 10 dollars we get on playstation store couple times a year and so forth. Microsft is a joke when it comes to giving to their customers and treating them good. By the way Sony already gives us free themes im using the cool PS Now one they gave us recently.

[Back-to-Back]

$2.99-$3.49 What a joke

[Christopher]

Anything over $1 is way overpriced for a theme, IMHO.

[BiggCMan]

31??? DAAAAAAAAAMN!!! They went from like 7 or 8, straight to 40! YEA BUDDY!

[TheFutureIsBlue]

Oh, what's that? You want some themes.......BOOMSHAKALACKA!

[andibandit]

No I want more games

[Lev1903]

Yeah. Too bad they are asking money for it. I only see that this is a background and nothing more.

I dont think that they should charge us 3 dollars for a wallpaper. Look at what MS is doing. Free wallpapers by unlocking achievements. You need to spend 120 dollars in total for 40 wallpapers. I mean DAAAAAMNNNN!!!

[Gamer1982]

If only a quarter of owners bought a theme though thats 10 million dollars with a few themes that probably took them a few days to put together. Easy money. Its also why we can't do our own themes like with PS3. Though they should make dynamic themes paid and static free..

[Jaqen_Hghar]

Meh. None of these have to do with gaming and a man likes gaming themes on his gaming machine. Sticking with the Order 1886 theme for now and its sad violin music

[TheFutureIsBlue]

Hoping they release a Bloodborne theme. I bet it would have dramatic music and sounds. I'd buy that!

[MasterCornholio]

That's a lot of themes.

:I

I'm still sticking with my 20th anniversary one. Love that PSX boot up sound.

[GarrusVakarian]

Yeah, that's the one I have too. Every time I boot up my PS4 I get a nice dose of nostalgia. I love it.

[Kurisu]

Pretty hard to beat that theme! I love it.

[DOMination-]

The text in the corner makes that theme tacky for me. Its a shame because it was nice to hear that music again

[Gamer1982]

The sounds great the colour scheme though is horrible..

[JohnApocalypse]

Dam, I can't get a preview of what they look like cause Europe

[nowitzki2004]

Move

[FarEastOrient]

Change IP address

[knickstr]

Awesome!!!

Would love to be able to create our own though.

[no_more_heroes]

And just yesterday I was lamenting the dearth of themes on there lol!

[KwietStorm_BLM]

We've barely even had themes for a couple months..?

[360ICE]

"American Eagle" theme?

We finally won the war on terror :')

Also, the "Serious Cat" theme sounds great.

[Relientk77]

I like the aquarium one

[DxTrixterz]

Nobody mentioned that all of them are paid.

[Muzikguy]

I'm glad they quadrupled their offerings in themes! Not sure why it takes them so long to begin with. I also don't like the pricing but whatever. Still would be sweet just to make our own. Of course that's mainly to save money too (and have "better" ones)

I might grab a few of them

[Clunkyd]

Whos using the Playstation Now theme just because of the background music? :D

[nevin1]

Wait, you cant create your own themes/wallpapers like PS3?

[DxTrixterz]

Their thinking: Why let people create their own themes. We can't allow them to do this. They better pay us for our themes.

[S2Killinit]

thats a huge surge in themes. it used to be like, what? 7 or 8 themes?

[theshredded]

The cat carrying the sword one is BOSS!

[Bathyj]

They really need to make a theme creator. Its pretty crap they let you edit and share video but not create and share a theme.

[B_Rian89]

it it just me or are these pretty terrible

[SweatyFlorida]

Yah...lot of those themes look like garbage they told their artist to paint real quick. Skull eye? gnarly wolf? cyber wolf??? WTF how random.

The dynamic space ones are nice however. Hope they make a bloodborne dynamic theme when it comes out!

[Muzikguy]

I agree those are some lame ideas/pictures for themes. The space ones definitely have my attention though!

[Predaking77]

just when my wallet was taking a break boom some amazing themes.

I will get 2.

[StormLegend]

OMG those themes are heavenly!!!!

[LexHazard79]

I know it no big deal but this has always been one of my favorite features. The themes really do make a PS feel new all over again.

[SpaghettiBandit]

I like the pirate hooker one

[Tankbusta40]

Could these themes be any worse? Half of them are screen savers from the early 90s

[Mrveryodd]

I have to admit as an xboxone owner I would like dynamic themes. Jealous I am .

[ps4gamer1983]

Why don't you own a ps4? Have u seen the 2015 exclusives ps4 will have in comparison to XBoxOne?

Also, Wii U seems to be having the potentially best year of all this year too.

[oODEADPOOLOo]

LMAO, most of the themes look like generic 90s windows screensavers...

[Soldierone]

I think I'll stick with the PS Anniversary one, I love having the PS2 boot up sound that comes with it :D

[NixonMonoxide]

Hold on a second. You can choose more themes for your PS4.

And that's GAMING NEWS?

Yeah, ok.

[Rhezin]

AWESOME! But I hope we get some 1st party title dynamic themes sometime.

[Fil101]

I think they should make the ps3 avators that we purchased on the ps3 available on the ps4 as personally i think its a pain that I have to change on avatar on ps3 to show up on my Ps4.

[badboyz09]

IF someone has a video of the aquarium PM me a video.

[Mwally29]

Hopefully we get these in the uk tommoz. The turtle one looks sick. Nice and relaxing

[MeteorPanda]

why...can't we just make our own? All of them are shoddy as..

[MilkMan]

I bought a few of these and they are NOT all top notch quality, so buyer beware. What they should do is have a mini preview for the dynamic themes. Makes a lot of sense, then again when was the last time people did things that made sense.
If you are buying a DYNAMIC theme then it makes sense that you may want to see it in motion BEFORE you buy. Instead you get words to try and describe what its like and all that is misleading.
I bought a "dissolve" astronomy theme. This was utter garbage this could have been done by my 7 year old and the tools from PS3.
Would have been netter cause he would have used family photos instead of still, blurry pictures of outer space.
DON'T BUY THIS!

So I decided to buy the Matrix code (blue). This is also pretty rubbish since its NOT 1080P, and its it doesn't look and feel anything Matrix like, instead its just the blue code running through the background and the same line of code whizzing by the forefront.
DON'T BUY IT!

Finally I got the pirate theme, because there is a beautiful pirate on the front and i like the scurvy sea dogs. This theme was actually better than the others. Its not SUPER Dynamic, but its good.
Looks more like they are in motion (as in waves in the water) as opposed to true movement, but its pleasant on the eye.

I think until they have at least a preview of these dynamic themes I wont buy anything unless they are free.

Oh and did I mention that Blue Code and Astronomy shared the same music?!
YUP!
Basura!

[Maxor]

I was excited until I realized they come at $3 a piece. You gotta be kidding me.

[shadyiswin]

is this really the top story on this site for almost 24 hrs now?.......really?

[F0XHOUND]

As a graphic designer I struggle to find one nice looking theme here. Really tacit, sorry guys :( free quality, at first glance.

However, register a Japanese account. They have a pretty nice FFXIV ARealm Reborn theme on there!

But Sony, please.... just allow us to use our own wallpapers and edit the tab colours! Easy.

[Petebloodyonion]

Okay now we have the undeniable proof that this website is completely pro Sony!
Honestly THEMES on ps4? that's the biggest news right now?

Today we learned that Steam (you know the big thing on pc that isn't Sony) Platform's 100 million users can now broadcast their gameplay to the world using new, Twitch-like feature
http://www.gamespot.com/art...

or that Xboxone will be able to stream game to pc via Windows 10
http://ca.ign.com/articles/...

or simply the release of the the remastered resident Evil HD.

Shouldn't theses articles be the headline of this site?

But no! what's important here is ps4 Themes, a new screenshot from Uncharted 4 or a random blog from a nobody claiming how great or bad the Order is because he played a demo.
