Sony Tests PS5 UI Refresh: Top Menu Returns
8 Apr
Summary
- A new PS5 home menu layout is being tested in beta.
- System apps and icons are reportedly moving to the top.
- L1 and R1 buttons may control menu navigation.
A PlayStation 5 beta tester has shared images of a potentially new home menu interface. This updated UI reportedly shifts system applications and icons, such as Games, Media, PS Plus, and the PlayStation Store, to the top of the screen. This arrangement draws comparisons to the layouts seen on the PS4 and PS3 consoles.
Further details suggest that users might be able to switch between these top-level menus by pressing the L1 and R1 buttons on the DualSense controller. While one initial report faced skepticism, a second image with a similar layout has emerged, indicating the test is likely legitimate.
Sony has not officially confirmed these changes. However, the apparent completeness of the test suggests it could be heading for a public release soon. This potential update has generated excitement among users who recall the personalization options available on older PlayStation consoles.
