The PlayStation 5, released in November 2020, is Sony's latest console and has been well-received for its powerful hardware and exclusive game titles. The addition of customizable themes has been a significant feature on previous PlayStation consoles, making the current limitation feel like a missed opportunity for fans who enjoyed personalizing their gaming experience. The classic themes serve as a way to bridge the nostalgia gap for long-time PlayStation users, enhancing the overall joy of using the console.
