PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4 Themes on PS5 Will Leave Tomorrow, But Sony Is Working to Bring Them Back

Sony has announced that the PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4 themes it created to celebrate the 30th anniversary of PlayStation will no longer be available on PS5 from tomorrow. However, they're not going away permanently. The firm has stated it's working behind the scenes to bring them back "in the months ahead".

[isarai]

Or just don't get rid of them? WTF? 🤨

[jwillj2k4]

Literally, just…. Leave the code alone…..?

[Profchaos]

They are bringing them back according to the tweet they know it's ultra positive but they won't want them to say 30th anniversary forever

[FIELDMARSHALL_P]

Makes sense I hope they do bring it back and free of charge, if not whatever I'll live.

[Loktai]

Because they say 30th anniversary they want to make just "throwback" themes.

[Christopher]

Exactly. How much work does it take to not uninstall files in an update?

[sinjonezp]

exactly! i love my ps2 theme!

[Relientk77]

I would love for them to give us a statement explaining why they have to take them away. Enlighten everyone please

PS: "working to bring them back" I'm not paying for them so you can get that out of your thick skulls

[Tacoboto]

They're working to Remaster themes now.

[Goodguy01]

Lmaooo

[JunonZanon]

LOL

[TheColbertinator]

Full priced

[QuantumMechanic]

The System Update that brought the themes pobably had a built-in expiration date.

[Terry_B]

^^ this.

[blackblades]

That's what I was thinking, its the only explanation. Probably improve on it while at it and make it a new thing.

[Loktai]

No its because they say 30th anniversary, and they want to make them just " throwback " themes rather than label them for the celebration- make them more perennial.

[Michiel1989]

no, they wanna monetize them or they are absolutely incompetent and don't understand their own code.

[Retroman]

Why allow them to leave if you bringing them back????
Love my PS1 theme sound effect.

[iamtheMitch]

"We're getting rid of them on purpose, but we're working to bring them back...after we take them away, on purpose...".

Huh...?!

[staticall]

Hope it's not «We're bringing them back... For a price» type of deal.

[Blaze929]

It'll be back, for a price

[Zenzuu]

Why not just leave them there?

Unless if they're planning on taking them off now and re-releasing the themes later on and charge it at a price.

[northpaws]

Probably will come back as an actual theme system

[Profchaos]

They know we all love them and they will be bringing them back assuming it's so they can remove the 30th anniversary moniker.

I'm sad to see them go to but I'll be there to re enable it day one

[anast]

It was fun. If they come back, it's cool.

[Knightofelemia]

I like my PS5 sounding like a PS1 when I turn it on they should just keep the themes. But knowing Sony they might lock the themes behind a pay wall.

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Bring them back Sony you have no choice Lol

[BrettAwesome]

Make PS4 themes usable

[TOTSUKO]

Yall are mad and I kinda was too until I realized we are officially getting themes on ps5 finally. I expect so much more themes now. I miss the ps4 gen where they gave out themes like candy. I literally bought a candy bar just to get the tifa theme lmao

[gold_drake]

why didnt they just leave them then haha

so unnecessary . i swear, if i have to pay for it, ima be pissed

[aaronaton]

Paid themes inbound, like the PS3 days.

[DaniMacYo]

Uh MT them 🤣

[hiawa23]

Why not just leave them there in the first place. I love the PS1 bootup screen. Some have said they are working on the legacy themes without 30th Anniversary so I am fine with that.
