A renewed PlayStation home screen enhances experiences for the next generation of players.
This new home elevates the PlayStation experience with a forward-thinking feature set built for next-generation hardware. A refreshing visual style is designed to be instantly familiar to players, and carefully considered approaches to accessibility facilitate new experiences that work better for everyone.
|
HOME
|
Bring order to your game library with a streamlined organisation of your content.
Welcome to your Home Display, where a distraction-free arrangement of recently played games span the full width of your screen. Familiar navigation enables both new and existing players to jump in with ease.
Tapping L2 opens the Game Library - here you can browse your entire catalogue in full screen with custom filtering and search. |
|
|
ACCESSIBILITY
Customise the size of the game tiles and interface text in accessibility settings. Change font weights and adjust contrast to improve text legibility across the system. |
|
CUSTOMISATION
|
Make home your own by creating groups and pinning favourites.
Organise your content easily with game groups. Groups can hold as many games as you like and are named intelligently based on what's inside.
Keep your favourite games instantly accessible by pinning them to the front of your recents list. By default, your game list displays content in order of most recently played, but you can change sorting options in settings. |
|
|
TIP
Make organisation easy with Automatic Grouping. Choose a sorting method, like genre, and have your content grouped automatically on your Home Display and in the Game Library. A range of customisation features in settings enable powerful personalisation options for your Home Display. |
|
CONTROL HUB
|
Control Hub consolidates notifications, friends, trophies and more into a single experience.
Press the PlayStation button to open Control Hub from anywhere. Want to quickly change your online status or review that last notification? Access these controls and more easily with Control Hub.
Controls are contextual depending on where you are in the system or what game you are playing. In system settings, you can choose which of these controls are persistent and hide ones that you don't use. |
|
IMMERSIVE HOME
|
Immersive experiences start at home with interactive game art.
Full-screen animated game art blends elegantly with a customisable background tone. Soundtracks set the theme for each game as you navigate.
Tilt your controller to drive the parallax effects integrated into the background artwork of games which support this feature. |
|
|
ACCESSIBILITY
Enable Reduce Motion in accessibility settings to minimise on-screen movement, simplify transitions and limit effects like parallax and animated backgrounds. Combine multiple motion customisations to make your home display work better for you. |
|
GAME HUB
|
Dive straight back into a game mode or open a recent save directly from the Game Hub with Quick Resume.
Use Quick Resume from the Game Hub to launch directly into a game mode like a campaign mission or a multiplayer session. You can also browse recent saves and jump straight back in to where you left off previously.
Game Hub is also home to trophies and add-on content from the PlayStation Store. |
|
COMING SOON
SYSTEM INTELLIGENCE
|
Intelligent preloading means no more waiting around.
Hold △ to launch a game in the background whilst you continue to browse your library or Game Hub. When you're ready to play, your game will be ready to go, so you can jump in instantly.
You can even launch straight into multiplayer. A system notification will alert you when the session is about to start, so you don't miss a beat. |
COMING SOON
STAY CONNECTED
|
Preview streams, join multiplayer lobbies and see what your friends are playing with Live Activities.
Use Live Activities to stay connected with friends and check out what they're up to before you even launch the game. Preview community videos and broadcasts, and so much more.
Game Hub functionality is game-dependent and dynamic. It can even change based on factors like time of day, mission progress and special in-game events. Developers have the power to tune the Game Hub to create unique, powerful experiences. |
MEDIA MACHINE
|
Your dedicated media tab - movie night is one tap away.
Video streaming services have their own place here in the media tab. A reimagined Media Hub makes cross-platform content discovery easy with supported services.
Local media storage returns, enabling video and audio playback via USB devices or internal storage. Use L1 and R1 to switch the Home Display between games and media apps. |
|
MAKE IT YOURS
|
An array of settings enable powerful levels of customisability across the entire experience.
Personalise your Home Display with theme customisations and a choice between light and dark appearances. Choose from a range of dynamic themes with customisable background colours.
ACCESSIBILITY
Make your system work better for you with Accessibility Defaults. Accessibility customisations can now be applied automatically in supported games, eliminating the need to manually set up your accommodations in every new game. |
|
|
TIP
Enable Theme Cycle to set light and dark appearances automatically based on the time of day. Theme Cycle also periodically changes your background appearance between 12 striking tones - a new colour for each month of the year. |
