Sony Addresses PS5 Home Screen Ad Issue: A Technical Glitch
Following a recent PS5 update that introduced unexpected promotional materials to the console's home screen, Sony has responded to widespread user frustration.
Sony's Response: A Resolved Technical Error
In a recent X (formerly Twitter) post, Sony confirmed the resolution of a technical issue affecting the PS5's Official News feature. The company stated that the issue has been fixed and that no changes have been made to how game news is displayed.
User Backlash Over PS5 Ads
Prior to this announcement, Sony faced considerable criticism for the update, which resulted in the PS5 home screen being cluttered with ads, promotional artwork, and outdated news. Users reported significant screen space being occupied by promotional headlines. The changes, apparently rolled out gradually over several weeks, culminated with the recent update.
Mixed Reactions and Ongoing Concerns
While Sony claims to have addressed the problem, some users remain unconvinced, labeling the addition of promotional content as a poor decision. One user expressed concern over the replacement of unique game art with promotional thumbnails, impacting the individual game's visual identity. Another questioned the justification for paid advertisements on a premium console. The sentiment highlights ongoing concerns regarding unsolicited advertising on the PS5 platform.
